MCX Solution Architect (Mission Critical Communications)

About the role

As an MCX Solution Architect you will define and lead the end‑to‑end design and deployment of mission‑critical communication platforms for enterprise and industrial environments. You will ensure high availability, low latency and secure interoperability across devices, networks and dispatch systems, shaping next‑generation connectivity for global clients.

Key responsibilities

• Architect Mission Critical Services solutions (MCPTT, MCVideo, MCData) including QoS, priority, preemption and service continuity.
• Develop comprehensive solution blueprints covering access, transport, core, IMS/application layer, dispatch, recording systems and device ecosystems.
• Drive vendor selection, solution validation and deployment governance with HLD/LLD documentation, integration planning, cut‑over strategies and acceptance testing.
• Define resilience architecture with geo‑redundancy, active‑active/standby configurations, disaster recovery, backup/restore and observability frameworks.
• Establish security‑by‑design principles covering encryption, identity and key management, and auditability.
• Support test teams during ATP phases, defect qualification and FAT/SAT readiness.
• Lead technical workshops, translating operational requirements into technical designs and delivery backlogs.

Required profile

• 15+ years of experience delivering mission‑critical platform design and deployment in MCX, PS‑LTE or similar environments.
• Hands‑on experience with vendors such as Hytera, Airbus, Motorola Solutions or TDTech and deep knowledge of 3GPP Mission Critical Services, IMS, VoLTE/VoNR, QoS/QCI/5QI, policy control and session management.
• Proven ability to produce HLD/LLD documentation, test strategies and operational readiness artefacts while managing multi‑vendor programmes.
• Strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills, capable of aligning cross‑functional teams and communicating technical strategies clearly.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes/telco cloud, containerised network functions or CI/CD pipelines is a plus.
• Exposure to ETSI, 3GPP or GSMA guidelines for mission‑critical communications is advantageous.
