Siemens

At our Siemens Foundational Technologies Development Center we are focused on a product development including software development, hardware development, mechanical design, and testing for the next generation concept of Industry 4.0.

Our new project is a modular industrial automation platform designed for field devices. It emphasizes standardization, reuse across measurement applications (flow, level, pressure, temperature), and supports a wide array of communication protocols including HART®, PROFIBUS PA, EtherNet/IP, and more. We are offering a SW architect position, where you will play a critical role in creating and maintaining functional safety architecture and coordinate technical topics across multiple teams.

Your task will be:

• Understanding and expanding the project software architecture with Safety Integrity Level 3 requirements.
• Designing and reviewing new features, ensuring integration with a legacy code base that spans over 10 years and supports 100+ product variants.
• Working closely with cross-functional teams—including hardware, mechanical design, testing, and certification experts—to shape technology roadmaps and implement fault tolerance mechanisms, risk analysis, and FMEDA in line with functional safety standards.
• Overseeing continuous integration processes, build and configuration management, and ensuring smooth release and delivery cycles.
• Guiding development efforts to maintain compatibility with existing implementations while expanding support to new protocols and certification requirements for hazardous areas

What we will appreciate from you:

• Extensive experience in software design and architecture with a focus on functional safety-critical applications (e.g., Safety Integrity Level 3), accompanied by a solid background in creating UML and sequence diagrams
• Extensive experience in software design and architecture with a focus on functional safety-critical applications (e.g., Safety Integrity Level 3), accompanied by a solid background in creating UML and sequence diagrams.
• Proven competence in integrating within long-standing, large-scale code bases developed over many years for a broad range of product variants.
• Industrial automation domain knowledge, especially deep understanding of industrial communication protocols such as HART®, PROFIBUS, Modbus, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP, as well as familiarity with modern internet protocol families.
• Strong expertise in embedded C++ programming (and experience in C# is a plus)
• Experience in establishing and maintaining continuous integration practices, including build automation, pipeline scripting (using YAML), and configuration management.
• Solid knowledge of functional safety standards, fault tolerance techniques, and methodologies for risk analysis and FMEDA.
