For the further development of this landscape, we are looking for an experienced Solution Architect who can connect architectural issues with business objectives and technological developments.

The initial focus of the assignment is on establishing functional and non-functional requirements for the IT systems and infrastructure within the sensor landscape, to support a tender process for video surveillance for border control. In addition, you will work on designing future-proof solutions for existing and new provisions in the areas of Scan & Detect, Video Management, AI, and sensor technology. You will translate these designs into concrete architectural products and requirements that serve as a basis for future tenders and further development of the domain.
