In order for our society to transition the mobility sector and energy grid to renewable energies, the industry needs to produce battery cells on a terawatt scale. Manufacturing is at the forefront of this revolution to reduce scrap rates, accelerate ramp-ups of new production lines and shorten feedback loops to optimize processes more quickly.

At Siemens, we build manufacturing from the ground up: from automation controls to large scale distributed systems and analytics which are fundamentally changing the way that batteries are being produced. And we mean fundamentally: our work will cut production times in half and save at least 5 percentage points of scrap for state-of-the-art Gigafactories.

Join us to work on the next generation of integrated electronics, event stream processing and AI. You will be a part of the Battery Accelerator, an organization of multiple internal start-ups which self-responsibly engage with cell manufacturers worldwide, develop and implement pilots, and take complete ownership of their products.

You will take ownership for a data architecture which will serve as the next level infrastructure to business logic authored by internal start-ups and external customers for the largest Gigafactories in the world.

What will you do?

• Design an event streaming platform (i.e. Apache Flink, Spark, ksqlDB) on top of a distributed messaging system (i.e. Apache Kafka) from innovative technologies to accommodate shopfloor data architectures with >1000 client devices

• Manage a team of 15 people with three senior system architects specialized in OT, connectivity, and deployment, and two international dev teams with SCRUM leads for the design, development, testing, and operation of the architecture

• Guide the survey of open-source methods, mentor, and train the internal software team (including team scale-up)

• Define a software roadmap to support the short and long-term implementation of business logic authored by internal start-ups

• Align with a chief product owner of Battery Accelerator who collaborates with the larger product organization within Siemens

• Travel to Germany for in-person team workshops at least once per quarter

• In office presence up to 10% of the time (based in Oakville, Ontario)

What will you need to succeed?

• University Degree in Computer Science or equivalent

• Min 5 years of leadership experience with technical development teams

• 10 years of professional experience in software development for large-scale distributed systems: built and maintained clusters with at least 100 working nodes

• Deep practical experience with micro-service architectures, distributed computing (i.e. K8s, Docker), data processing (i.e. Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark, ksqlDB) and API design

• High ability to communicate and to convey technical concepts clearly with people skills and spirit of self-improvement.

• Proficient and actively coding in program languages such as C, C++, Java, Go, familiar with Linux as development environment

• Profound understanding of continuous software engineering practices, architectural design patterns around stream processing (i.e. router, dead letter stream, limited retention)

• Passion to build and scale an architecture hands-on in a fast-paced environment
