• Experience working with Manufacturing, Automation, Quality/Validation, Security, Infrastructure, Data, and site engineering teams.
• Familiarity with ISA-95, ISA-88, and ISA/IEC 62443; experience in GxP-regulated environments required.
• Strong expertise in GxP manufacturing technologies and architecture, with the ability to design and document end-to-end solutions and integrations.
• Understanding of cross-domain dependencies (IT, OT, security, data) and how to embed security-by-design.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills; clear articulation of risks, options, and trade-offs.
• Effective communication and stakeholder coordination; experience working in global, cross-functional environments.

Nice To Haves

• ISA/IEC 62443

Responsibilities

• Translate business and technical requirements into end-to-end solution designs within the GxP Manufacturing domain, including system interactions, data flows, and integration points.
• Produce and maintain solution architecture artifacts (diagrams, data flows, interface definitions, technology selections) to support design decisions and delivery teams.
• Identify whether initiatives meet Architecture Review Board (ARB) entry criteria (e.g., cross-domain impact, regulatory scope, new technology, high-risk design) and prepare required inputs for review.
• Perform architecture impact assessments for new initiatives, including dependencies across IT, OT, data, and security domains.
• Define and validate solution design options (e.g., build vs. buy, pattern selection, integration approaches) and support decision-making with clear trade-offs.
• Review designs to ensure alignment with approved patterns and reference architectures; flag and route deviations for governance review.
• Work closely with engineering and delivery teams to clarify design intent, resolve design issues, and ensure correct implementation of the architecture.
• Identify and manage cross-team dependencies, ensuring sequencing and integration points are clearly understood and planned.
• Ensure security, compliance, and infrastructure requirements are embedded in solution designs (e.g., GxP, identity, data protection, connectivity, IT/OT segmentation).
• Support release readiness by validating that architecture-related dependencies, risks, and constraints are addressed prior to deployment.
• Document and track architecture risks, exceptions, and technical debt, including mitigation or remediation plans.
• Other job duties as assigned.
