Dreaming for tomorrow is about more than ideas and ambitions. We’re already building the next generation of vehicles, using repurposed and brand-new technology and techniques. We’re doing more than dream, we’re creating the future of mobility and automotive for years to come.

WHAT TO EXPECT

As a Lead Systems Architect, you will be responsible for the coordination of architecture, interfaces and requirements activities and the resolution of technical delivery issues.

Day to day, you’ll be supporting the software development of the solution architecture for a system or a group of products.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
As the Lead Systems Architect, you will have experience taking ideas and concepts through to delivery -- from pushing the art of what’s possible, creating system requirement analysis, into well-structured designs, and working closely with the development teams on the solution, right through to delivery. You will have the ability to communicate technical design concepts to business and technical stakeholders.
