R&D System Architect

Define the (system - mechanical - software - hardware …) architecture of the product

• Define Engineering discipline Structure of product and its components in line with platform configurator
• Ensure an optimize design to cost approach
• Check patent
• Identify and support management of technical risks of the Engineering discipline architectures in projects
• Propose constant improvement in relation with platform

Secure the product robustness, apply standards

• Enforce standards Engineering discipline solutions
• Support Engineering Discipline Design Review
• Manage the link with other Engineering disciplines / calling for hierarchical support if needed
• Capitalization of the know-how (Standardization, Specifications, technical reports, processes and guidelines)

Support Engineering discipline requirement Management

• Provides inputs and requirements to the Engineering discipline for the development
• Interface with customer for Engineering discipline architecture content
• Contribute to refine the functions into the right sub-systems (system - mechanical - software - hardware …)

Case of System Architect: distribute and spit the functions per Engineering discipline

• Translate system requirements in Engineering disciplines requirements
• In collaboration with the different competences (Engineering disciplines) define the functions into the right sub-systems (system - mechanical - software - hardware …)
• Ensure the inter-operability of all sub-systems
