System architect

Your Mission

The System Architects are part of the Research and Development group. Their core mission is to design and develop the world leading solution for image guided Proton Therapy using ionizing radiations.

Following a recent reorganization, IBA is strengthening the BEAM system functions team. The new setup is based on the product lifecycle.

To support this model, we are seeking a System Architect who will act as the owner of the BEAM system functions architecture model, bridging conceptual system definitions with detailed technical design and implementation through structural and functional decomposition and allocation.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the BEAM system functions architecture model.
• Define, propose, and evolve system architecture in close collaboration with system experts, requirement engineers, system owners and development engineers.
• Translate high-level concepts into structured solutions and ensure proper decomposition for engineering teams.
• Collaborate with requirement engineers to align the architectural decomposition with requirements and verification strategies.
• Contribute to cross-functional discussions involving architecture, safety analysis, test strategies, and design decisions.
• Act as the key link between conceptual architects, implementation teams, and engineering within BEAM system functions domain.
• Ensure the architectural model is consistent, well-documented, and understood across teams.

What we value

• A degree in Science or Engineering; with a multidisciplinary background or in the following disciplines: physics (magnetism, particle physics, RF), SW engineering, electrical engineering, control systems, robotics
• Minimum 5 years of experience in system engineering and/or system architecture.
• Proven background in complex systems design (e.g., aeronautics, railway, automotive, defense, energy, …)
• Capable of thinking cross-functionally and dealing with multi-disciplinary engineering aspects
• Experience bridging architecture, requirements, safety analysis, and verification & validation activities.
• Working knowledge of SysML.
• Proficiency with system modeling tools (e.g., Enterprise Architect, Capella, Rhapsody…).
• Solid understanding of the product development lifecycle.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills.
• Capable of presenting and defending technical proposals to experts.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).
