Software Architect

Responsibilities

Advanced X-Ray Systems Division is a newly established division as part of Vehant Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Its mission is to build a talent pool of expertise in India to establish a design house to create the next generation of Security Baggage Scanners with novel geometries.

We intend to create a very lean yet agile team of professionals to co-conceive of and co-create the next generation of Advanced X-Ray Systems in the baggage screening sector of security screening applications. We are actively hiring for technical resources spanning a wide range of specialties connected to X-Ray/CT technology backgrounds, including Systems Engineering, Image Quality, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Firmware design, Software design and architecture, High-performance compute algorithm design, and UI/UX design.

If you have what it takes to create ground-up design from nothing to working, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a difference both to your career and the world.

Role/Job Description

This is a full-time, on-site role for a Software Architect in the Advanced X-Ray Systems division at Vehant Technologies, Bengaluru. The Software Architect will be responsible for defining and owning the system-level software and compute architecture for real-time baggage screening and security imaging systems.

The role involves architecting high-performance, heterogeneous CPU-GPU compute pipelines, defining multi-threaded, pipelined, data-parallel and task-parallel processing architectures, and ensuring the system meets stringent performance, reliability, and stability requirements.

The Software Architect will lead the conceptualization, design, and integration of the compute architecture, including finalization of compute hardware requirements such as CPU, GPU, memory, and interconnects. The role also encompasses ownership of verification, validation, and reliability strategies, and production readiness in alignment with DFX considerations.

The Software Architect will work closely with algorithms, firmware, systems, mechanical, and electrical teams, mentor engineers, and provide technical leadership across the development lifecycle.

Qualifications and Desired Skills

• B.Tech/M.Tech, MCA, M.S., or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, with a strong software and system architecture mindset and solid documentation practices
• Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ for performance-critical, system-level software
• Strong experience with Linux-based systems (Windows exposure is a plus)
• Deep expertise in multi-threading, concurrency, and synchronization
• Deep expertise in parallel computing on heterogeneous CPU-GPU architectures
• Deep expertise in data-parallel and task-parallel compute pipelines
• Proven ability to perform system-level debugging and root-cause analysis
• Experience defining system and compute requirements, and maintaining traceability to system-level design
• Strong experience in API design, inter-process communication, and integration with third-party systems
• Ability to define and oversee verification and validation strategies for compute-intensive systems
• Prior experience in R&D or deep-tech product development, with involvement across the lifecycle from conceptualization to market deployment
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication, and technical leadership skills
• Ability to mentor engineers and work effectively in cross-functional teams
• Must demonstrate willingness to constantly learn and adapt with a growth mindset

Good to Have / Preferred Skills

• Exposure to X-Ray, CT, imaging, or signal processing systems
• Experience working on safety-critical or mission-critical products
• Hands-on experience with CUDA / OpenCL and parallel programming frameworks such as OpenMP / OpenACC
• Experience with vectorization and low-level optimization techniques (e.g., AVX/SSE, Intel intrinsics)
• Good working knowledge of Python and JavaScript, including libraries like GPU.js, Emscripten, and other compute accelerator frameworks for client-side/edge computing
• Working knowledge of Python for prototyping, tooling, and experimentation
• Working knowledge of JavaScript / WebGL for visualization or accelerated UI pipelines
• Experience with SQL / NoSQL databases and high-throughput file systems
• Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts

Motivational Paragraph

This is one among many roles that would be systematically created and filled to create a very lean yet agile team of professionals to co-conceive and co-create the next generation of Advanced X-ray Systems in the baggage screening sector. Come and be a part of this exciting team to make in India for the world!
