What you will do

As our new Senior Solution Architect PLM & Engineering Applications, you will be part of the architecture function supporting business-critical engineering platforms and processes.

You will serve as a trusted advisor and technical authority for PLM-related initiatives, ensuring that business requirements are translated into practical and sustainable solutions that deliver value both today and in the future.

This position is not solely focused on technology design. You will actively drive decision-making, influence stakeholders, challenge assumptions, and maintain oversight of the complete application lifecycle from strategy to implementation and ongoing support.

What you will do

You will:

Define and own solution architectures supporting JBT Marel's global PLM and engineering systems landscape.
Lead architectural design activities for strategic PLM transformation and implementation programs.
Develop, document, and defend High-Level Designs and Solution Designs.
Translate business capabilities and requirements into scalable, maintainable, and secure technology solutions.
Ensure alignment between PLM, CAD, ERP, integrations, infrastructure, cloud, and cybersecurity domains.
Challenge proposed requirements and solution approaches to drive optimal business outcomes.
Balance short-term delivery needs with long-term architecture principles and objectives.
Drive standardization and harmonization across engineering applications and processes.
Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to implementation teams, developers, and external partners.
Support architectural governance and technology roadmap development.
Take ownership of lifecycle management, platform sustainability, upgrades, technical debt reduction, performance, security, and supportability.
Collaborate closely with business leaders, engineering teams, project managers, product owners, vendors, and enterprise architects.
Act as a sparring partner for fellow architects and contribute to architecture reviews and knowledge sharing.

What they look for

Success in this role is determined as much by mindset and leadership as by technical expertise.

You are a strategic and hands-on architect who enjoys connecting business needs with technology solutions and taking ownership from concept through execution. You combine technical depth with strong stakeholder management and are comfortable operating in complex, fast-changing environments.

You:

Think beyond individual applications and projects, taking an end-to-end view across business processes, systems, integrations, security, and long-term maintainability.
Balance strategic architecture thinking with a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach.
Take ownership, create momentum, and proactively drive topics from discussion to decision and implementation.
Are comfortable making architectural choices and can clearly articulate the rationale behind your recommendations.
Challenge requirements, assumptions, and proposed solutions constructively to achieve the best business outcomes.
Focus on standardization, scalability, and sustainable solutions while recognizing when flexibility is required.
Bring sufficient technical depth to engage confidently with developers, engineers, architects, and technology partners.
Care about the full solution lifecycle, including performance, upgrades, technical debt, security, supportability, and operational excellence.
Translate architecture into practical solutions that can be successfully implemented, adopted, and maintained.
Build strong relationships across business, IT, leadership teams, and external vendors.
Thrive in collaborative environments and value constructive debate, peer reviews, and knowledge sharing.
Remain effective in situations where requirements are evolving and not every process is fully defined or standardized.
Follow through on commitments and ensure decisions, actions, and dependencies are effectively managed through completion.
Are visible, approachable, and recognized as a trusted advisor within your team and stakeholder community.

Most importantly, you are an architect who combines strategic thinking with execution, influencing decisions while remaining closely connected to delivery and business outcomes.
