Design integration architecture between simulation platform and enterprise systems (data, ML/AI, visualization)
Create reference architectures for scenario management, what-if analysis, and operational optimization
Establish simulation modeling standards, governance frameworks, and best practices for model validation
Drive adoption of industry standards (OpenUSD, FMI/FMU) and define data contracts for simulation interoperability
Design co-simulation frameworks for multi-fidelity model integration across discrete-event, continuous, and physics-based paradigms
Architect cloud-native deployment patterns and simulation-as-a-service capabilities
Evaluate and select simulation technologies, tools, and frameworks aligned with technical strategy
Partner with domain experts, data architects, and ML teams to translate operational requirements into simulation architectures
Provide architectural guidance, reviews, and mentorship to simulation development teams
Assess technical risks, define mitigation strategies, and present architectural proposals to technical leadership
Qualification
Required
