Senior Software Architect - Test & Measurement Instruments (m/f/d)Rohde & Schwarz

Introduction

Shape the software architecture behind next-generation test and measurement instruments.

Tasks

• You will analyse the existing software architecture to assess its ability to integrate a new product group, while identifying required changes, technical debt and risks.
• Based on new product requirements, you will define architecture extensions and migration paths, including component-based modularisation, API contracts and compatibility rules.
• Interfaces will be defined in close collaboration with hardware, FPGA and algorithm teams.
• You will prioritise and plan architectural changes and provide a migration roadmap with risk assessments and minimally invasive transition paths.
• Architecture and design reviews will be led by you, while providing technical guidance and moderation across different disciplines.
• Developers will be coached by you on architecture principles, best practices and hardware-related software development.
• You will create and maintain architecture documentation, including C4, SysML or UML diagrams, API specifications, performance reports and acceptance criteria.
• You will develop Embedded Linux driver software, including user-space and kernel drivers/modules and hardware abstraction layers, while applying shift-left practices and AI-assisted tools for prototyping, test generation, documentation and quality assurance.
