As a Solution Architect in Transmission Engineering, you will join a dedicated team responsible for planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining the transmission grid. Your primary role involves translating complex engineering and business requirements into robust solution architectures that encompass application, integration, data, and infrastructure considerations while ensuring compliance with cybersecurity, regulatory, and performance standards. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders to identify pain points and develop architectural options that balance delivery speed with technical risk and maintainability. Key responsibilities include designing end-to-end solutions, producing detailed diagrams and design artifacts, and providing mentorship to delivery teams. Ideal candidates have 6+ years of experience in software development or solution architecture, a strong background in application and integration patterns, and familiarity with regulated environments.
