Solutions Architect, AI/ML

Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in Kitchener-Waterloo and San Jose. We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets. Position Overview We are seeking a Solutions Architect, AI/ML that will have a critical role in understanding technical project requirements, for existing and potential clients, to assess whether the opportunity will be a good fit. Once an opportunity fit is assessed, the Solutions Architect will be responsible for developing a solution path, preparing an estimate for the work, and highlighting the risks and mitigation strategies. Make an Impact with US: At Fidus, you’ll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market.

You’ll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients. In practice, that means contributing to projects across Communications, Aerospace & Defence, Life Sciences & Medical Devices, Space & Satellite, Industrial Automation, Automotive, and Semiconductor engagements. You won’t be limited to a single product or industry—your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap. What You’ll Be Doing: - Work directly with potential and existing clients to understand their needs, then develop their requirements; - Architect a solution that meets the Client’s needs; - Develop a plan, identify risks and mitigation strategies, and estimate the work required, to deliver a client solution; - Write the technical content for proposals; - Understand and present Fidus’ resource skill capabilities and work approach; - Discuss, promote, defend, and, if necessary, refine, the work approach and estimate; - Evaluate and understand solutions, to partition programs into logical segments; - Undertake project work as required; - Assist in identifying and developing new Fidus products; - Assist in identifying new areas of investment and research & development.
