The role translates customer and product needs into end-to-end solution architectures spanning software, controls, electronics, sensors, motors, encoders and electromechanical subsystems. Working across China and global engineering teams, the Solution Architect provides architectural direction, resolves complex system-level challenges and influences product and technology roadmaps through deep expertise, sound judgment and cross-functional collaboration.\nESSENTITAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES\nSolution Architecture\nDefine end-to-end architectures for products, platforms and complex customer solutions across software, controls and electromechanical systems.\n\nTranslate business and product needs into technical requirements, interfaces and scalable implementation approaches.\n\nEvaluate architecture trade-offs across performance, reliability, reuse, cost, cybersecurity and time to market.\n\nTechnical Leadership\nLead architecture and design reviews, technical risk assessments and resolution of complex cross-domain issues.\n\nProvide technical direction and influence engineering decisions through expertise, collaboration and sound judgment.\n\nDrive root cause analysis and sustainable solutions for critical system, integration and reliability issues.\n\nProduct and Technology Strategy\nPartner with Product Management and engineering leaders to shape platform strategy and technology roadmaps.\n\nEvaluate emerging technologies and identify opportunities for innovation, reuse, modularity and localization.\n\nGlobal and Customer Collaboration\nAct as the architecture focal point across global, cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment on interfaces, decisions and technical risks.\n\nSupport technical discovery, solution definition and escalation discussions for strategic customer applications.\n\nEngineering Excellence\nEstablish architecture standards, reference designs and engineering best practices.\n\nMentor engineers and drive improvements in software quality, system performance and development efficiency.\n\nQUALIFICATIONS:\nMaster's degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline. \nTypically 10+ years of relevant experience in software development, system architecture or complex product development within industrial automation, motion control, robotics, semiconductor equipment, scientific instrumentation or related industries. \nProven experience defining and delivering system or solution architectures for software-intensive industrial equipment or electromechanical products. \nStrong expertise in software architecture, object-oriented design, API and interface definition, design patterns and engineering best practices, with hands-on experience in C#, .NET, C++, Python or comparable technologies. \nStrong system-level understanding of precision motion-control solutions, including controllers, drives, motors, encoders, sensors, positioning systems and control algorithms. \nExperience with industrial communication technologies such as EtherCAT, CAN, Modbus, serial communication, EtherNet/IP or TCP/IP. \nDemonstrated ability to make sound architecture decisions under ambiguity and to solve complex, cross-domain problems using structured analysis and root cause methodologies. \nExperience operating effectively in matrixed and global engineering environments and influencing senior stakeholders across functions and geographies. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills in both English and Chinese.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3758,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
