Lead Software Architect - Power Generation

Role: Lead Software Architect – Power Generation Location: Houston, TX Role Overview We are seeking a Lead Software Architect to own and lead the software and control system architecture for industrial power generation solutions. This role provides technical leadership across controls for engine/turbine, alternator, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), auxiliary, and supervisory control systems, ensuring robust, safe, and scalable control software from subsystem controllers through supervisory HMI. The role works closely with controls engineers, software implementation teams, and OEM partners to define architecture, interfaces, and system behavior, while guiding implementation and integration. Key Responsibilitie sDefine and own the end‑to‑end software and controls architecture for power generation systems

• Lead architecture for engine/turbine, alternator, SCR, auxiliary (pumps/fans etc), and supervisory control subsystems
• Define system‑level and supervisory state machines (START, RUN, FAULT, STOP, etc.)
• Specify data models, communication interfaces, and command/response workflows between subsystems and supervisory controls
• Define HMI concepts, operator workflows, alarms, and fault handling philosophy
• Architect fail‑safe behavior and communication‑loss detection across all controllers
• Define data logging, event/fault history, and operational statistics requirements
• Review and guide implementation by software and controls teams; serve as technical escalation point
