Solution Architect Program Manager

About the role

The Solution Architect Program Manager is responsible for driving advanced technology solutions from early concept through architecture definition, proof of concept, productization planning, system integration, validation, and launch readiness. This role combines deep technical capability with disciplined program execution to ensure that innovative concepts are translated into clear scope, committed deliverables, product milestones, and launch timelines. This position requires strong solution architecture judgment, structured planning, and cross-functional leadership across engineering, product, hardware, firmware, software, validation, security, operations, and external partners. The role owns the bridge between concept feasibility and production execution by defining requirements, aligning stakeholders, managing schedules, resolving technical dependencies, tracking risks, and maintaining readiness documentation required to deliver solutions on product milestones and market launch commitments.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end solution programs from concept exploration, business and technical feasibility, architecture definition, POC execution, productization planning, system integration, validation, and launch readiness.
• Translate ambiguous innovation concepts into clear solution scope, use cases, requirements, architecture assumptions, success criteria, milestones, resource needs, and execution plans.
• Own integrated schedules that align engineering deliverables with product development checkpoints, POR decisions, validation gates, manufacturing readiness, and launch timeline commitments.
• Partner closely with product management, system architecture, hardware, firmware, software, security, validation, operations, and external suppliers to manage dependencies and secure delivery commitments.
• Lead architecture and technical tradeoff discussions to ensure solution designs are scalable, secure, manufacturable, supportable, and aligned with product roadmap priorities.
• Define and maintain program artifacts, including functional requirements, interface assumptions, system-state definitions, delivery plans, issue logs, risk registers, decision records, validation plans, and readiness checklists.
• Drive issue triage, dependency closure, technical decision-making, mitigation planning, fallback options, and escalation paths to keep programs on schedule.
