Lead Specialist Platform Architect Operational Technology & Control Platform

क्या काम करना होगा

About the Role Ma’aden is seeking a Lead Specialist, Platform Architect Operational Technology & Control Platform . This full-time role supports the design and governance of Operational Technology (OT) and control platform architecture. The position involves translating enterprise architecture standards into practical platform guidance to ensure OT, control systems, data, AI, and core technology platforms are interoperable, scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture direction within complex industrial and asset-intensive environments. Key Responsibilities Contribute to the development and maintenance of enterprise architecture principles, platform standards, and reference architectures for OT and control platforms. Translate enterprise architecture vision and roadmaps into actionable guidance for domain, platform, and solution architecture teams. Support alignment of architectural designs across OT, data, AI, integration, cloud, and core systems with enterprise standards. Provide practical architecture guidance that balances enterprise consistency with operational technology realities. Participate in architecture reviews and support design assurance for OT, control platform, and cross-domain technology solutions. Identify risks related to fragmentation, duplication, unmanaged technical debt, and non-compliance with architecture standards. Support governance decisions by documenting design options, trade-offs, constraints, risks, and recommended architecture patterns. Escalate architecture risks and deviations where platform designs may impact scalability, resilience, security, or interoperability. Apply defined integration patterns and reference architectures across OT, control platforms, data platforms, AI solutions, and enterprise systems. Support end-to-end interoperability across IT, OT, data, digital, and industrial control environments. Collaborate with integration, data, platform, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and engineering teams to enable scalable and reusable solutions. Promote reusable architecture patterns that reduce duplication and improve consistency across platforms and sites. Work closely with domain architects, platform architects, solution architects, engineering teams, and delivery teams to support solution design. Act as a coordination point between delivery teams and enterprise architecture governance for OT and control platform matters. Support platform architecture decisions by clarifying requirements, dependencies, operational constraints, and implementation considerations. Ensure solution designs are practical, technically coherent, and aligned with architecture standards and operating environment needs. Develop and maintain architecture artifacts, diagrams, reference patterns, standards, and design guidelines for OT and control platforms. Document architectural decisions, dependencies, risks, constraints, and reusable design patterns for platform and solution teams. Communicate architectural guidance, trade-offs, and constraints to technical and non-technical stakeholders in a clear and practical manner. Support architecture knowledge sharing to improve consistency, adoption, and design quality across delivery teams. Qualifications and Experience Candidates should possess 8-12 years of relevant experience. Performance Indicators OT and control platform designs are aligned with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and reference architectures. Architecture risks, duplications, unmanaged technical debt, and fragmentation are identified and escalated in a timely manner. Reusable integration patterns improve interoperability across IT, OT, data, AI, and digital environments. Architecture artifacts, diagrams, standards, and design decisions are maintained and communicated clearly. Platform and solution teams receive practical guidance that supports scalable, secure, and reusable technology solutions.
