Semiconductor R&D;
Thermo Fisher Scientific's Materials and Structural Analysis Semiconductor R&D; organization brings together around 400 engineers developing electron microscopy solutions and applications. Our global teams in Eindhoven, Brno, Hillsboro, Hyderabad, and Bordeaux combine expertise in hardware, software, and scientific applications to help customers make the world cleaner, healthier, and safer.
Within this organization, the Cortex value stream develops software for semiconductor data workflows, including tools to organize, explore, and visualize microscopy data. We're looking for a Software Architect to own the end-to-end technical integrity and evolution of Cortex across its frontend, services, infrastructure, and integrations.
Working with engineering teams and architects across sites, you'll help ensure Cortex remains scalable, secure, maintainable, and cohesive across Core and Contributor applications.
You'll connect architecture decisions across frontend, backend, and DevOps, helping teams make sound trade-offs and avoid siloed designs. You'll also coordinate with Athena, SDP, and DAP architects and technical leads to support the evolution of Central Cortex and its plugin ecosystem.
Own and guide cross-stack architectural decisions across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, data, infrastructure, and deployment.
Shape architecture for microservices, distributed systems, REST APIs, containerized applications, and cloud and on-premise environments.
Guide frontend architecture, including microfrontend and plugin approaches, Web Components, and integration across Core and Contributor applications.
Ensure architecture addresses scalability, performance, resilience, maintainability, observability, and cybersecurity.
Guide authentication and authorization, data architecture, and secure development practices, including SBOM, SCA, and SAST considerations.




Shape CI/CD architecture and deployment practices in collaboration with development and DevOps teams.
Review major technical changes and designs, identify cross-system risks, and help teams make informed trade-offs.
Identify and prioritize technical debt with engineering teams, and help develop a practical strategy for addressing it.
Encourage cohesive decisions across frontend, backend, and DevOps, and resolve architectural gaps between teams.
You'll work with a distributed, cross-functional organization that includes colleagues in Bordeaux, Hillsboro, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Understanding of both up-to-date frontend architecture and backend/service architecture.
Experience with microfrontend or plugin architectures and Web Components.
Experience designing observability and CI/CD capabilities as part of a broader system architecture.
Knowledge of cybersecurity practices and tooling, including SBOM, SCA, and SAST.
Strong system-thinking skills and the ability to analyze dependencies, risks, and trade-offs across a product.
Experience documenting architecture, principles, decisions, and technical direction.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Preferred Experience
Experience supporting the evolution of an established product architecture while enabling new capabilities and integrations.
Experience with scientific software, imaging, data-intensive applications, or semiconductor workflows.
Experience guiding technical debt strategy and mentoring engineers or technical leads.
Experience working in a distributed, cross-functional Agile organization.
