System Architect NIR 80-100%

• Develop and document the system architecture for NIR spectroscopy devices.
• Translate stakeholder needs into structured system requirements and specifications, ensuring traceability and alignment throughout the development process.
• Specify detectors and signal processing chains, and perform system simulations, including optical, electrical, and thermal, to validate and optimize the design.
• Define and execute verification and validation (V&V) strategies to ensure system performance, quality, and compliance with applicable standards.
• Set up and conduct functional tests on prototypes and analyze results using Python-based tools and custom scripts.
• Support production and product lifecycle management by resolving technical issues, optimizing components, and managing changes and obsolescence.

• University degree in natural sciences or engineering (e.g. physics, optics, electronics, systems engineering) with deep knowledge of optical systems, spectroscopy, and/or sensor technologies
• Professional experience (several years) in system architecture, systems engineering, or interdisciplinary development projects, for sure a plus in NIR spectroscopy or adjacent fields.
• Experience with requirements management, system specification, and verification and validation (V&V) processes.
• Skills in system modelling and simulation (optical, electrical, mechanical or thermal) and hands-on experience with prototype development, testing, and analysis.
• Excellent structured communication skills in English, both written and spoken (German in addition is an advantage).
• Programming knowledge/experience and good understanding of software architecture methods.
