You excel at communication, value collaboration, and are skilled at balancing diverse stakeholder needs. You have a passion for turning architectural vision into real-world implementation and are comfortable building strong formal and informal relationships. You use your technical insight to weigh system-level trade offs, understand end to end design consequences, and make balanced architectural decisions. You take a structured, self driven approach to your work, with high ambitions and a strong sense of ownership.

To succeed as a System Software Architect within Core System Components, you have broad and deep knowledge of technologies across hardware, software, CI pipelines, and system safety.
