VP System Architecture(m/w/x)
Defining architectural direction for autonomous robot platforms, shaping modular foundations and interfaces. Modularity leadership and complex platform evolution experience required. Employee stock ownership plan.
Requirements
- MSc in Systems Engineering, Electronics, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
- Significant experience in system architecture and modularity leadership within robotics, autonomous systems, medical devices, automotive, aerospace, or complex mechatronic environments
- Proven track record of architecting and evolving complex platforms, not one-off systems
- Experience defining modular architectures and enabling reuse across multiple product variants
- Strong understanding of hardware and software co-design principles across sensors, actuators, compute, control systems, middleware, and power management
- Good understanding of autonomy-related systems (perception, localisation, navigation, motion planning, fleet-level coordination)
- Experience with real-time systems, platform middleware, and system integration (V model) in complex industrial or safety-relevant environments
- Ability to translate customer needs, business direction, and technical constraints into clear architectural decisions
- Experience balancing performance, safety, manufacturability, scalability, and product maturity in real-world systems
- Proven ability to influence across teams, drive alignment, and lead change without formal authority
- Strong communication and influence skills, sound judgement, and ability to simplify complex architectural questions for broad technical audience
- Proven ability to translate company strategy and mid- to long-term technology vision into clear, executable roadmap, with effective governance
- Experience with safety-critical or regulated robotic systems
- Familiarity with Ex certification or related industrial safety constraints
- Experience with large-scale simulation environments, digital twins, or platform-level validation frameworks
- Track record of reducing time to market through platform reuse and stronger architectural discipline
- Experience embedding certification and safety pathways into architectural frameworks
- Experience supporting products that scale across multiple variants, deployment environments, or different operational design domains
Tasks
- Define architectural direction for robot platforms
- Shape modular foundation for robot variants
- Define reference system architecture across hardware and software
