Systems Architect jobs in Santa Clarita, CA

Intro Paragraph

Aviation faces an existential crisis due to its climate impact, with no apparent roadmap for meaningful carbon reduction, let alone meeting Paris Agreement emissions targets. That is where Universal Hydrogen (UH2) comes into play. Our company is working to create revolutionary technology supported by an end to end hydrogen value chain infrastructure that will allow hydrogen to be used all over the world as a means of decarbonizing the transportation industry. In order to do this we are looking to hire a Logistics Software Architect at Universal Hydrogen that has a passion for building the world's first hydrogen logistics platform to decarbonize aviation. You will play a crucial role in designing scalable and efficient system architecture for our complex logistics network. This translates into also ensuring the smooth operation of our logistics software systems during pilot/demonstration phases and beyond this into global roll-out. You will be responsible for architecting, developing with partners, and deploying our logistics software solutions to enhance our overall operational efficiency; which will extend into supplier evaluation and selection for third-party products, and managing/steering implementation. Your expertise will be instrumental in ensuring our logistics processes run seamlessly.
