Solution Architect

Role Purpose

Independently own end-to-end solution design for assigned opportunities across ICT Datacentre Cloud and Cybersecurity — from requirement analysis through HLD compliance and handover to addition lead and implement site and service delivery for AISS — driving on-site implementation and service execution for assigned projects. Solution Engineers prepare the BOQ and proposal; the Architect validates reviews and approves the technical content.

Technical Compliance

• Review and sign off the compliance matrix prepared by Solution Engineers.

BOQ Validation Review & Approval

• Validate BOQs prepared by Solution Engineers for architectural correctness — right products quantities and licensing model.

OEM Coordination

• Validate designs with OEM technical teams; obtain OEM design sign-offs where required.

Presales & Delivery Support

• Present solutions to customers; respond to technical clarifications.
• Document design intent for handover and support delivery during transition.
