ENOVIA R&D Systems Architect

Role Description & Responsibilities

Dassault Systemes is seeking a System Software Architect for its ENOVIA brand. ENOVIA provides leading enterprise collaboration applications that promote innovation and operational excellence across many industries. From Aerospace & Defense to Life Sciences, our solutions manage our customers' mission-critical data.

As the ENOVIA leading software Architect, you will work with many technical groups to create cutting-edge business application software for ENOVIA. Reporting to ENOVIA's VP R&D, you will provide technology leadership for ENOVIA by leading the service architectures with a strong focus on an AI-driven learning platform. You will define the strategy for platform architecture, paving the way for the next generation of ENOVIA products and services.

As ENOVIA's representative on the Dassault Systemes Architecture Review Board, you will review designs and contribute to the decisions and standards that keep ENOVIA's architecture consistent with the platform.

You will work with R&D teams across several regions and time zones, and with product management and architects from other Dassault Systemes brands.

* Design target architectures for selected topics, mainly AI-driven capabilities: match business and technical requirements with the current state of the art in AI and software architecture, compare the options and their trade-offs, and recommend the architecture to adopt. Each target architecture is documented with its rationale, main components, interfaces, and data flows.

* Define and maintain architecture standards and review criteria: checklists and reference patterns that teams apply before submitting a design. These cover security, performance, scalability, non-functional requirements, and AI quality (evaluation metrics, guardrails, observability, and responsible AI practices).

* Contribute to the architecture board reviews: review the designs submitted to the board, and contribute to its decisions and cross-brand standards definition.

* Set interface and integration principles with other brands: API design guidelines, versioning rules, contracts of shared platform services, and identity and access management.

* Raise the level of design know-how across teams by explaining board decisions, coaching tech leads on preparing designs for review, and sharing reference patterns.

* Maintain ENOVIA architecture roadmap and a register of technical risks and debt, built from product goals with product management and reviewed with the ENOVIA VP R&D every quarter.

You will start by getting to know ENOVIA's solutions and the Dassault Systemes platform architecture. You will also join the Architecture Review Board as ENOVIA's representative and contribute to its reviews. You will then be assigned a first architecture design objective, and contribute to the target architecture and roadmap.

Qualifications

* Master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field

* 10+ years in software development, including at least 5 years in a software architect role

* Experience leading an architecture review board or similar design governance

* Strong track record of producing architecture documentation such as design documents, ADRs, and API specifications

* Experience designing or governing at least one production feature based on LLMs or ML models, including evaluation pipelines, quality metrics, and guardrails

* Solid experience with agent-based and generative AI architectures, and with AI inference services in the cloud

* Proven design of microservices-based systems, including service boundaries, API versioning, and data consistency

* Practical knowledge of enterprise integration (event-driven architectures, messaging, REST and GraphQL APIs)

* Working experience with identity and access management (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, fine-grained authorization) and CI/CD pipelines, including deployment of AI models and services

* Strong technical depth, with working knowledge of at least one of Java, TypeScript, or Python

* Excellent written and spoken communication in English

* Experience in the PLM domain (product data, change management, configuration management, regulated industries), or in comparable enterprise software

* Experience with multi-tenant SaaS platforms in regulated environments (for example ITAR, GxP, or data residency requirements)

* Experience working with globally distributed R&D teams

Compensation for the role will be commensurate with experience. The total expected compensation range will be between $240000 and $290000, representing the base salary (or annualized salary based on estimated hourly compensation) and target bonus.
