This strategic, UK‑based role bridges our R&D hubs in the UK, Germany and China. You’ll evaluate and steer two major existing architectures, define the roadmap for new features, and architect the next‑generation X‑ray software platform.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Analyse, map, and deeply understand the mechanics of our two current major software architectures to ensure continuity and structural alignment.

  • Vision and architect the next-generation software platform, ensuring a future-proof framework for our evolving product lines.
  • Develop system architectures and high-level product specifications to create robust, scalable, and secure solutions. 
  • Develop layered software architectures that enable agile collaboration at different levels to facilitate quick iteration on new solutions.
  • Work within an Agile collaboration framework (e.g. SAFe, SCRUM).
  • Engage with colleagues as a mentor, sharing skills and experience.
What You Need to Succeed
  • Ability to tackle complex problems, drive architecture to delivery, and lead effectively.
  • Proven ability to develop visionary strategies, roadmaps, and forward-looking plans.
  • Strategically skilled in influencing and persuading global teams across diverse functions without direct authority.
  • Commercial development experience in languages like C/C++, C#, Python, .NET, Java, SQL.

-Application software (industrial automation, networking protocols, UI frameworks, IT systems) 
-IoT services and Cloud development (Azure, AWS, etc) 
-AI/ML systems
-Cybersecurity 
-Embedded systems (RTOS, bare metal, hard real-time)
