Key job responsibilities
This role powers the success of AWS's most complex and strategic Automotive & Manufacturing engagements. As a Senior Solutions Architect, you'll own solution programs end to end—from strategy to architecture to customer realization—driving measurable, lasting business impact. You'll operate with full autonomy, applying high judgment to decide where to invest your efforts for the greatest organizational and customer value.
A central part of the role is setting the technical and strategic direction for large-scale transformations—including AI/ML and Generative AI programs, data modernization, and regulated cloud migrations. You'll create reusable reference architectures, methodologies, and thought leadership—whitepapers, frameworks, and prescriptive guidance—that scale your impact across the SA community and the wider automotive and manufacturing market.
You'll act as a strategic advisor to your customers' senior leadership, earning trust at the executive level and shaping their long-term technology and business strategy. You'll anticipate emerging customer needs before they're fully articulated, ask the questions customers haven't thought to ask themselves, and lead the consensus-building required to align large, complex organizations around a clear path forward.
