Software Architect - Collision Avoidance Solution (CAS)

DXC Technology (NYSE:DXC) - where brilliant people embrace change and seize opportunities to advance their careers and amplify customer success. People are the heart of our business. We use the power of technology to deliver mission critical IT services that move the world. DXC.com

DXC Technology is seeking a skilled and experienced Software Architect to design and deliver build-ready technical solutions for an Australian mining company’s Collision Avoidance Solution. This is a hands-on architecture role focused on turning functional solution concepts into detailed, implementable designs. You will produce structured technical designs (services, event flows, state models, APIs, and data structures) that engineering teams can build from with minimal ambiguity, similar in depth and clarity to formal Detailed Technical Designs used in autonomy systems.

You will work across a complex, distributed, safety-critical environment integrating real-time asset data, autonomy systems, and enterprise platforms.

Whilst Perth is preferred, we are open to considering resources located elsewhere. This role will commence ASAP and can be done remotely - however will require some travel to the customer site. Suitable candidates must hold Australian working rights.

What You’ll Do

• Produce Detailed Technical Designs that break down solution architecture into clear, build-ready components
• Define event-driven interactions, APIs, data models, and system behaviours
• Design for real-time and near-real-time systems, including asset state, routing, and event processing
• Apply architectural patterns such as event-driven architecture, actor model, and distributed systems design
• Ensure alignment with performance, scalability, reliability, and safety requirements
• Collaborate with engineers and delivery leads to shape Epics and User Stories grounded in architecture
• Lead design walkthroughs, reviews, and technical decision-making
• Provide hands-on support during delivery to ensure designs are correctly implemented

What You Bring

Core Experience

• Proven experience as a Software Architect or Senior Engineer in complex distributed systems
• Strong ability to produce low-level, developer-ready designs (not just high-level architecture)
• Experience working in event-driven and real-time processing environments
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to reason across end-to-end workflows and state transitions

Technical Requirements (Essential)

• C# / .NET (Core / 6+) - strong hands-on background
• Event-driven architecture & messaging systems
• MQTT (or similar: RabbitMQ Kafka, Azure Service Bus)
• Distributed systems & microservices design
• API design (REST + asynchronous/event-based interfaces)
• Data modelling & persistence (SQL Server / relational DBs)
• Real-time data processing (telemetry, asset state, streaming events)
• GitHub & CI/CD pipelines

Highly Regarded

• Experience in collision avoidance solutions, mining, or industrial IoT
• Familiarity with spatial systems / geospatial processing (e.g., grid indexing, routing logic)
• Cloud platforms (Azure / AWS)
• Experience in multi-vendor or large-scale integration environments
• Exposure to safety-critical systems or operational technology (OT)
• Experience with Actor model frameworks (e.g., Akka.NET or similar)

What Success Looks Like

• Designs are clear, structured, and immediately buildable by engineering teams
• Complex system interactions (events, state, services) are well-defined and predictable
• Strong alignment between architecture, delivery, and operational outcomes
• Ability to quickly understand and extend existing autonomy platforms
