Function Architect (f/m/x)

Are you an experienced engineering professional looking for a leadership role where you can drive hardware development excellence from concept to customer installation? Then the position of Function Architect Hardware Development in our Business Unit Semiconductor Mask Solutions of the ZEISS Group in Jena may be the ideal opportunity for you! As a Function Architect for Hardware Development, you are responsible for translating system requirements into robust functional and module-level architectures for complex semiconductor systems. Working closely with System Engineers and interdisciplinary development teams you ensure technical consistency from system decomposition through implementation and realization.

• Derive, structure and maintain system- and module-level requirements based on system requirements while ensuring completeness, consistency and traceability
• Develop, maintain and continuously refine system architectures across mechanics, electronics, firmware and systems engineering
• Drive and own architectural decisions within your assigned system scope and ensure alignment with the overall system architecture
• Define, coordinate and manage interfaces between disciplines, modules and subsystems
• Collaborate closely with System Engineers to ensure technical alignment and architectural integrity throughout the product lifecycle
• Coordinate technical activities and align stakeholders across engineering disciplines
• Prepare, support and actively participate in technical reviews and follow up resulting actions to closure
• Support technical risk identification and mitigation activities throughout development
• Support realization activities including integration, installation, commissioning and tooling from an architectural perspective
