Aligning architects across product lines and early project phases, and coordinating closely with project management and product management. Facilitating architecture decisions, integrating different perspectives, and making decisions yourself when required. Ensuring consistent standards, reviews, and traceable architecture decisions within the team. Further developing the cross-product target architecture and actively driving modularization and harmonization. Setting technical guardrails and considering maintainability, robustness, performance, OIML requirements, and cybersecurity from the outset. Identifying architecture topics early, developing solution options, and preparing sound decision proposals.
