What do we need

We are seeking a Solutions Architect to be a senior technical authority within Dotmatics Professional Services, responsible for defining and governing end-to-end solution architectures, including its role as the orchestration backbone connecting scientific informatics, data pipelines, and physical lab execution environments. You will ensure that solutions are not only functionally correct, but also meet rigorous non-functional requirements around performance, scalability, security, reliability, observability, maintainability, and long-term operability.

In this role you will get to

Architecture & Design Authority

Act as the design authority for Luma-based customer solutions, including end-to-end lab orchestration architectures that span scientific informatics, data infrastructure, and physical lab systems

Define logical and physical architectures covering applications, data, integrations, identity, environments, and operations

Architect solutions that bridge the digital and physical lab — connecting experiment planning, protocol authoring, and scheduling through to execution on automated instruments, workcells, and robotic platforms

Ensure architectural consistency across multiple customer engagements

Functional & Non-Functional Requirements

Shape functional requirements in collaboration with Scientific Architect and Application Scientists, including workflow automation requirements that span study design through instrument-level execution

Own non-functional requirements including performance, scalability, security, resilience, observability, accessibility, internationalisation, and maintainability

Translate business and scientific needs into robust technical architectures

Integration, Data Architecture & Lab Orchestration

Design integration approaches using technologies such as Apache NiFi, APIs, batch pipelines, and event-driven patterns

Define data ingestion, transformation, and migration strategies that accommodate the high-frequency, heterogeneous data generated by automated lab environments

Architect solutions that enable experiments to transition seamlessly from planned → scheduled → executing → data captured with minimal manual intervention, leveraging Luma as the orchestration layer

Define integration patterns with lab automation and scheduling platforms

Architect solutions leveraging Databricks, including configuration via Databricks SQL, for aggregation and analysis of instrument and experimental data at scale

Ensure data lineage, auditability, and regulatory compliance across the full experimental data lifecycle, from instrument output through to structured scientific records

Support visualisation and analytics patterns using tools such as Sigma for Databricks

Platform and Enterprise Integration

Architect Luma solutions that integrate with customer enterprise systems including: ELNs (Dotmatics & third-party), LIMS, SDMS, PLM, ERP, MES, instrument data systems, and lab automation schedulers

Define how Dotmatics fits within broader Siemens landscapes , particularly in environments where scientific R&D and industrial/manufacturing processes converge

Scope and design integrations with third-party scientific platforms including ELN/LIMS providers scientific data analysis tools (e.g., Spotfire, JMP, Pipeline Pilot, Geneious), and lab automation platforms

Define sample tracking, workcell scheduling, and instrument connectivity architectures as part of broader lab orchestration solution design

Security, Reliability, and Operations

Apply security best practices covering IAM, data protection, tenancy, and compliance

Design for high availability, resilience, and disaster recovery

Define observability strategies including logging, monitoring, and alerting — extended to cover automated lab execution environments and instrument connectivity layers

Ensure architectures are operable by support and cloud teams post go-live

Stakeholder Engagement

Act as senior technical advisor to customers, including IT leadership, enterprise architects, and lab automation/informatics leads

Partner with Sales and PreSales during solution shaping, scoping, and risk assessment — including technical qualification of lab orchestration opportunities

Represent Dotmatics architecture in joint Siemens engagements and architecture forums

Work with Siemens and non-Siemens partners as a peer architect ensuring architectural alignment across joint delivery models

Technical Leadership & Enablement

Provide architectural guidance to other Solution Architects, Technical Leads, Application Scientists, and Delivery Partners on lab orchestration patterns and integration architectures

Review designs and implementations for architectural compliance

Raise the overall architectural maturity of the Dotmatics Professional Services organisation and partner ecosystems, including in the emerging discipline of connected and automated lab design

Create reusable architectural artefacts including reference architectures, lab orchestration integration templates, instrument connectivity patterns, and design decision frameworks

Partner Enablement

Act as the architectural authority for partner-led implementations of the Dotmatics Luma platform

Enable system integrators, Siemens partners, and regional delivery partners through architectural guidance, design reviews, and technical enablement sessions

Define reference architectures, integration patterns, and implementation guardrails for partners — including guardrails for digital-physical integration scope and instrument connectivity standards

Support partner onboarding by defining "how Luma should be implemented" from an architectural and non-functional perspective

Ensure partner-delivered solutions meet Dotmatics and Siemens standards for scalability, security, operability, and maintainability

Collaborate with Partner, Sales, and Services leadership to define where Dotmatics retains architectural ownership
