IP Solution Architect

Contribute to and support the Architecture, Technical Scope of Work (SOW) and Solution Description for the Customer project. Assist internal teams from offer commencement through to final solution delivery and acceptance by the customer. Establishment of the agreed contractual System Requirements. Development of an E2E Architecture and Design that meets the specifications, time to market and product/quality constraints.

Pre-sales Phase:

• Assist Business Development with the following:
  • Pre-determine a Physical and Logical Solution Architecture; partition and allocate system requirements and functionality to the architecture; analyze and evaluate alternative solutions; define subsystems and system elements and requirements.
  • Identification of Key Technical Risks and Issues, develop mitigation plans
  • Provide key inputs for technical decisions relating to system requirements and system architecture/design.

Project Execution Phase:

• System/Solution Requirements Development.
• Identification of key Use Cases; agreement on key acceptance criteria.
• Derive products and solution requirements in line with the SOW and solution description while being fully coordinated with project management, design and deployment team; perform requirements designation and importance analysis; perform verifiability analysis; perform risk analysis.
• Development of E2E Solution Architecture and support to High-Level Design (multiple technology domains).
• Determine a Physical and Logical Solution Architecture; partition and allocate system requirements and functionality to the architecture; analyse and evaluate alternation solutions; define subsystems and system elements and requirements.
• Provide and review HLD/LLD/Interface Specification
• Proactively seek to identify and address technical risks. In co-operation with the PM/TPM conduct risk assessments on the project and all suppliers; identifying and executing mitigation strategies to limit impact; support on reporting of risk exposure (cost, schedule, other); escalating, as appropriate.
• Review roadmap alignment with solution to be implemented with PLM engagement.
• Maintain traceability between requirement sets (Customer, System, Subsystems and System Elements), maintain traceability to architecture and design documents, support traceability to verification activities.
• Accountable for the technical accuracy of the design solution (i.e.: as defined in the SA&HLD etc.) - and the resulting implementation.
• Assist with technical delivery of the end-to-end project - design implementation to acceptance.
