System of Systems Architect (m/f/d) – Connected Health Platform

The System of Systems Architect is responsible for the end-to-end technical architecture of a connected healthcare platform spanning active medical devices, edge computing components, IoT connectivity, cloud services, data platforms and therapy management applications.

The role focuses on the architecture and integration of a distributed system of systems rather than on the architecture of an individual device or embedded subsystem. It requires strong expertise in cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, cybersecurity, data protection and modern communication patterns.

Your Responsibilities

Own and continuously evolve the end-to-end system-of-systems architecture of a connected healthcare platform consisting of active medical devices, edge computing, cloud services and enterprise integrations.

Define architectural boundaries, responsibilities, interfaces and data flows across hardware, firmware, embedded software, edge platforms, backend services, APIs and data platforms.

Design modular, scalable, resilient and maintainable architectures for globally deployed distributed systems.

Define cloud architecture principles and solution patterns for scalable, highly available and observable cloud-native applications.

Define communication and integration patterns, including REST APIs, synchronous and asynchronous communication, publish/subscribe messaging, event-driven architectures and message brokers.

Govern API design, versioning, lifecycle management and integration across products and development teams.

Ensure secure and reliable communication between medical devices, edge gateways, cloud services and external healthcare systems.

Drive Security-by-Design and Privacy-by-Design across the platform, including authentication, authorization, device identity, e
