Systems Architect / Engineering Architecture Lead
About The Position
Gramian Consultancy is seeking an experienced Systems Architect or Chief Systems Architect for a specialized AI training project focused on complex, real-world engineering workflows. The role is intended for senior engineering professionals who have experience defining system architectures, managing technical interfaces, and leading multidisciplinary engineering teams. The position involves designing realistic engineering scenarios, translating project objectives into structured system architectures, coordinating technical specialists, and establishing evaluation criteria. The work spans mechanical, electrical, hardware, software, and manufacturing disciplines, with attention to system dependencies, constraints, and engineering trade-offs throughout the system lifecycle. Previous AI experience is not required. This is a contractor role; remote work is available, with US-based candidates preferred and worldwide candidates with strong relevant experience considered.
Requirements
- Substantial professional experience as a Systems Architect, Chief Systems Architect, or in a comparable technical leadership role.
- Proven experience owning the architecture of complex engineering systems.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and coordinate multidisciplinary technical teams.
- Strong expertise in system architecture design, technical trade studies, and interface management.
- Experience conducting architecture reviews and evaluating system-level design decisions.
- Ability to translate complex project objectives into structured architectures, technical requirements, and measurable evaluation criteria.
- Understanding of subsystem dependencies, system boundaries, integration challenges, and engineering constraints.
- English proficiency at B2 level or higher.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and technical communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Design realistic engineering projects requiring architectural decisions across mechanical, electrical, hardware, software, and manufacturing disciplines.
- Translate high-level project objectives into detailed system architectures, defining system boundaries, subsystem responsibilities, interfaces, and technical constraints.
- Break complex architectural challenges into interconnected tasks with defined inputs, deliverables, dependencies, and expert responsibilities.
- Define system-level requirements and align subsystem specifications with overall project objectives.
- Evaluate architectural alternatives and conduct technical trade studies assessing feasibility, performance, cost, reliability, and other engineering considerations.
- Establish and document interfaces and dependencies between subsystems and engineering disciplines.
- Define technical objectives, acceptance criteria, and evaluation frameworks for architectural solutions.
- Apply systems engineering principles to identify integration risks, technical conflicts, and architectural gaps.
- Review system architectures and assess whether proposed solutions meet functional and operational requirements.
- Ensure project scenarios reflect realistic engineering practices and industry standards.
