Solutions Architect, Systems Engineer

Excerpt from the original posting

Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in Kitchener-Waterloo and San Jose. We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets.
Position Overview 
We are seeking a Solutions Architect, Systems Engineer that will have a critical role in understanding technical project requirements, for existing and potential clients, to assess whether the opportunity will be a good fit. Once an opportunity fit is assessed, the Solutions Architect will be responsible for developing a solution path, preparing an estimate for the work, and highlighting the risks and mitigation strategies.  

Make an Impact with US: 
At Fidus, you’ll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. You’ll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients.
In practice, that means contributing to projects across Communications, Aerospace & Defence, Life Sciences & Medical Devices, Space & Satellite, Industrial Automation, Automotive, and Semiconductor engagements. You won’t be limited to a single product or industry—your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap.
What You’ll Be Doing: 
- Work directly with potential and existing clients to understand their needs, then develop their requirements;
- Architect a solution that meets the Client’s needs;
- Develop a plan, identify risks and mitigation strategies, and estimate the work required, to deliver a client solution;
- Write the technical content for proposals;
- Understand and present Fidus’ resource skill capabilities and work approach;
- Discuss, promote, defend, and, if necessary, refine, the work approach and estimate;
- Evaluate and understand solutions, to partition programs into logical segments;
- Undertake project work as required;
- Assist in identifying and developing new Fidus products;
- Assist in identifying new areas of investment and research & development.

- Bachelor’s degree in either Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or the equivalent; 
- At least ten (10) years of detailed design experience in one or more of Hardware, So…
