Full Job Description

## **Job Description** We are seeking a Senior Electrical Systems Architect to define and lead the platform-level electronics architecture for LC/MS instruments (e.g., Ultivo LC/TQ, Pro iQ / Pro iQ Plus, LC/MSD iQ, and related systems). In this role, you will own the end-to-end electronics architecture across distributed hardware, interconnects, telemetry, and diagnostics, and serve as a technical authority that partners with other electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, firmware/embedded engineers, and scientific stakeholders. You will establish electronics architecture standards, interface specifications, and integration patterns spanning multiple products and product generations, with a strong emphasis on maintainability/serviceability enabled through robust telemetry and diagnostics. **Key Responsibilities** **Platform Electronics Architecture** * Own and define the end-to-end electronics architecture for LC/MS platforms, including controller/main boards, distributed modules/daughter cards, interconnects, and system interfaces. * Define system partitioning, interface standards, and reusable design patterns spanning multiple products and generations. * Lead architecture tradeoffs balancing performance, reliability, serviceability, cost, and schedule. * Drive architecture documentation and clarity (e.g., interface definitions, system diagrams, design patterns, and integration guidelines). * Collaborate with mechanical engineering to enable robust packaging and interconnect solutions, including cable-free / board-to-board connectivity where appropriate. * Define system-level interconnect requirements (signal integrity, grounding, shielding, accessibility/service). **Cross-Functional Integration & Technical Leadership** * Act as the primary electronics architecture interface to mechanical, firmware/embedded software, physics/chemistry, and scientific stakeholders. * Lead system-level design reviews, architecture reviews, and integration readiness assessments. *
