Software Architect - Industrial Automation Platform (f/m/d)

At our Siemens Foundational Technologies Development Center we are focused on a product development including software development, hardware development, mechanical design, and testing for the next generation concept of Industry 4.0. Our new project is a modular industrial automation platform designed for field devices. It emphasizes standardization, reuse across measurement applications (flow, level, pressure, temperature), and supports a wide array of communication protocols including HART®, PROFIBUS PA, EtherNet/IP, and more. We are offering a SW architect position, where you will play a critical role in creating and maintaining functional safety architecture and coordinate technical topics across multiple teams.

full-time

What will be your responsibilities?

Understanding and expanding the project software architecture with Safety Integrity Level 3 requirements.
Designing and reviewing new features, ensuring integration with a legacy code base that spans over 10 years and supports 100+ product variants.
Working closely with cross-functional teams—including hardware, mechanical design, testing, and certification experts—to shape technology roadmaps and implement fault tolerance mechanisms, risk analysis, and FMEDA in line with functional safety standards.

Overseeing continuous integration processes, build and configuration management, and ensuring smooth release and delivery cycles.
Guiding development efforts to maintain compatibility with existing implementations while expanding support to new protocols and certification requirements for hazardous areas

What should you possess?

Extensive experience in software design and architecture with a focus on functional safety-critical applications (e.g., Safety Integrity Level 3), accompanied by a solid background in creating UML and sequence diagrams
