Laboratory Setting, Office

• Define and maintain system architectures for Desktop SEM products.
• Translate customer and product needs into system requirements and designs.
• Decompose requirements across software, electronics, mechanics, and manufacturing.
• Define and manage interfaces between subsystems and engineering disciplines.
• Lead technical trade-offs and help resolve complex multidisciplinary challenges.
• Define system integration, verification, and validation strategies.
• Assess technical risks and the system impact of engineering changes.
• Provide technical leadership during design reviews, system integration, and product investigations.
• Ensure system designs meet performance, reliability, quality, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost objectives.
• Support product development and quality processes, including engineering change control.
• Coach engineers in systems engineering methods and facilitate knowledge transfer between Eindhoven and Brno.

Experience with SEM or scientific instrumentation, electron optics, vacuum technology, precision mechatronics, embedded electronics, software architecture, MBSE, Jama, PLM, or similar engineering tools would be an advantage.

As a System Architect, you will serve as a technical and architectural leader within the Desktop SEM (DTS) organization, shaping the system architecture of our Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope products.

You will translate product and customer requirements into robust system architectures and lead multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle. Working closely with Product Management, Project Management, Systems Engineering, Software, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Quality, and Service, you will ensure our products meet customer needs while balancing performance, manufacturability, reliability, quality, and cost.

This role supports the continued expansion of our Brno Development Center, which is becoming the primary product development organization for the DTS portfolio. You will collaborate closely with the Innovation and Architecture team in Eindhoven, helping strengthen systems engineering capabilities, technical governance, and engineering best practices in Brno.

As a senior technical authority, you will drive system architecture, interface management, technical trade-offs, and system integration, providing technical direction across engineering disciplines and ensuring architectural integrity from concept through verification, industrialization, and product release.
