Architect Charging Solutions

Take technical and architectural ownership of the Charging Solutions domain, guiding the development team, setting priorities and supporting effective delivery. Design charging architectures spanning electronics and embedded software, while ensuring effective integration with mechanical components. Define strategic, reusable platform elements and interfaces between chargers, hearing instruments, production software and application software. Translate customer, system and stakeholder needs into solutions that balance functionality, performance, quality, cost and long-term maintainability. Review electronic schematics, embedded software architecture and selected code, with hands-on programming representing approximately 10–20% of the role. Work closely with external suppliers, review their technical solutions and influence architectural decisions throughout the development chain. Make sound technical decisions in complex or uncertain situations and ensure compliance with medical-device, cybersecurity and privacy requirements. Document and communicate architectural decisions while promoting technical learning, best practices and continuous improvement across teams.
