Lead IoT Solution Architect (Healthcare)

The Lead Solution Architect is responsible for evaluating and defining the future architecture for a patient-facing peripheral platform within a connected healthcare ecosystem.

This role assesses hardware, software, and deployment options to identify a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution that supports patient identification, clinical workflows, peripheral device integration, and digital data collection across cloud-connected, hybrid, and offline environments. The architect will develop architectural recommendations, evaluate technology alternatives, define integration approaches, and establish a roadmap that balances current business needs with future platform evolution.

Daily tasks

• Architecture Strategy
• Define the target architecture for the patient and peripheral platform.
• Evaluate commercial, custom-built, embedded, tablet-based, and kiosk-based solutions.
• Assess architecture alternatives based on technical fit, lifecycle, cost, risk, scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Create architectural recommendations and decision records.
• Solution Evaluation
• Lead structured trade-off analyses across hardware and software options.
• Develop business and technical recommendations for leadership and engineering teams.
• Balance short-term delivery objectives with long-term platform sustainability.
• Platform Integration
• Define integration patterns with clinical applications, identity services, connected medical devices, edge environments, cloud platforms, and enterprise systems.
• Establish interface standards, communication patterns, and data exchange requirements.
• Ensure compatibility across online, intermittently connected, and offline deployment models.
• Patient Identification & Workflow Design
• Define architectures supporting modern identification methods such as NFC, QR codes, biometric authentication, and identity federation.
• Support clinical workflows including patient onboarding, treatment preparation, and data capture.
• Ensure a seamless and intuitive user experience.
• Peripheral Connectivity
• Define integration approaches for devices such as scales, blood pressure monitors, temperature sensors, and future clinical peripherals.
• Establish standards for USB, Bluetooth, Ethernet, serial communication, and emerging connectivity technologies.
• Enable extensibility for future device types and use cases.
