Architect

• Define and maintain the target architecture, system boundaries, data models, integration patterns, and technical roadmap for connected products and cloud platforms
• Lead architecture reviews for services, APIs, data pipelines, databases, identity, applications, deployment patterns, and device-to-cloud communication
• Simplify the platform by identifying unnecessary coupling, duplicate processing, fragile patterns, and services that should be consolidated, redesigned, or retired
• Guide platform modernization and the use of managed cloud services based on product needs, customer continuity, cost, portability, security, reliability, and operational burden
• Maintain architecture decisions and documentation so LI-COR retains the knowledge, access, data portability, and technical control needed for future decisions
• Guide how devices produce data and how cloud services receive, process, store, and present it, including schemas, batching, retries, deduplication, derived data, and retention
• Partner with Firmware and Hardware Engineering to identify connectivity, scalability, reliability, support, and cost implications early in product development
• Review new products and sensor integrations for downstream effects on cloud services, storage, analytics, applications, and cost-to-serve
• Define end-to-end observability and nonfunctional requirements for availability, performance, security, privacy, scalability, recovery, and supportability
• Partner with Engineering and IT and DevOps on CI/CD, infrastructure as code, release architecture, incident response, disaster recovery, vulnerability remediation, and operational readiness
• Provide technical leadership during significant incidents and recurring performance or connectivity issues, driving root cause correction and durable improvement
• Ensure platform designs support applicable validation, data separation, retention, privacy, auditability, and customer contractual requirements
• Serve as a technical partner to the Software and Cloud leader and as an architecture authority across engineering, product, science, quality, and operations
• Remain hands-on through backend design and implementation, prototypes, technical investigations, code reviews, and resolution of high risk production issues
• Translate product intent into technically complete approaches and communicate tradeoffs, risks, costs, and recommendations to technical teams and business leaders
• Mentor engineers and strengthen architecture capability across employees and partners
• Act as LI-COR's technical counterpart with cloud, data, connectivity, and engineering partners
• Other job related duties as assigned
