Contribute to and support the Architecture, Technical Scope of Work (SOW) and Solution Description for the Customer project. Assist internal teams from offer commencement through to final solution delivery and acceptance by the customer. Establishment of the agreed contractual System Requirements. Development of an E2E Architecture and Design that meets the specifications, time to market and product/quality constraints.

ASSIST Business Development with the following:

• Development of the ION Architecture and Solution Description to be used for offer submission (and integration/dependencies with the E2E solution).
• Pre-determine a Physical and Logical Solution Architecture; partition and allocate system requirements and functionality to the architecture; analyze and evaluate alternative solutions; define subsystems and system elements and requirements.
• Identification of Key Technical Risks and Issues, develop mitigation plans
• Identification of roadmap gates ensuring time to market (for ION products and dependencies with non- ION and non-Nokia products).
• Provide key inputs for technical decisions relating to system requirements and system architecture/design.

Project Execution Phase:

• System/Solution Requirements Development.
• Identification of key Use Cases; agreement on key acceptance criteria.
• Derive products and solution requirements in line with the SOW and solution description while being fully coordinated with project management, design and deployment team; perform requirements designation and importance analysis; perform verifiability analysis; perform risk analysis.
• Development of E2E Solution Architecture and support to High-Level Design (multiple technology domains).
• Determine a Physical and Logical Solution Architecture; partition and allocate system requirements and functionality to the architecture; analyze and evaluate alternation solutions; define subsystems and system elements and requirements.
• Perform Use Case Analysis, scenario determination and develop sequence diagrams to support the requirements analysis, architecture & high-level design activities.
• Review HLD/LLD/Interface Specification
• Proactively seek to identify and address technical risks. In co-operation with the PM/TPM conduct risk assessments on the project and all suppliers; identifying and executing mitigation strategies to limit impact; support on reporting of risk exposure (cost, schedule, other); escalating, as appropriate.
• Review roadmap alignment with solution to be implemented with PLM engagement.
• Technical aspects of Gate & Milestone Execution.
• Provide key inputs and be accountable for technical decisions relating to system requirements and system architecture/design.
• Requirements & Design traceability.
• Maintain traceability between requirement sets (Customer, System, Subsystems and System Elements), maintain traceability to architecture and design documents; support traceability to verification activities.
• Technical change impact assessment end to end (both internal & 3^rdparty).
• The Solution Architect is accountable for the technical accuracy of the design solution (i.e.: as defined in the SA&HLD etc.) – and the resulting implementation.
• The Solution Architect assists with technical delivery of the end-to-end project – design implementation to acceptance.
• Technical support, manage, review 3rd party suppliers and vendors - including:
  • Ensuring that all parties involved in the solution development (SI project team, the customer, 3rd party suppliers, subsystem design teams) clearly understood their technical scope/objectives (through document reviews, workshops, presentations, informal Q&A)
  • Reviewing and assessing the technical progress of all suppliers – including 3rd Parties.

Key Deliverables:

• Solution Architecture and Description, Technical Scope of Work.
• Requirement needs.
• Inputs for HLD and Project Plan.
• Risks & Mitigations.
• Assist with roadmap alignment/gaps escalated to PLM.
• Develop reference architecture for Services Library if project is first of kind
