We are hiring a Principal Architect to lead the product and systems architecture of Ingersoll Rand's Digital Solutions portfolio. Our products combine industrial compressors and blowers with embedded controls, edge connectivity, and cloud services - used by customers in demanding environments around the world.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will set the technical direction that subsystem teams across the company build against, and you will be a recognized technical voice within Ingersoll Rand. You'll spend most of your time on deep architectural work and on the high-leverage artifacts that direct the portfolio, working closely with Product Management, Engineering Leadership, and architects across our digital subsystems.

• Define and own the product and systems architecture across the Digital Solutions portfolio, from embedded firmware and Linux platforms to connectivity and cloud services.
• Own the ecosystem architecture and ensure it remains coherent as products, platforms, and integrations evolve.
• Translate product strategy and commercial roadmaps into clear technical direction, and adapt the architecture as new opportunities are identified.
• Interface with architects across all digital subsystems to drive alignment on shared architecture, resolve cross-team architectural conflicts, and approve changes to shared interfaces.
• Author and maintain the reference architectures, architectural decision records, and design standards that subsystem teams build against.
• Contribute architectural insight to build-versus-buy decisions, technology selection, and partner evaluations.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree is a plus.
• 10+ years of experience in software, systems, or embedded engineering, with several years operating at a portfolio, platform, or principal-architect level of scope.

• Ability and willingness to travel 10-15% (primarily domestic to Ingersoll Rand testing and manufacturing facilities).

• Track record of architecting products that combine embedded firmware (bare-metal or RTOS), embedded Linux platforms (for example Yocto-based distributions), connectivity, and cloud or backend services.
• Strong knowledge of cybersecurity for connected products, including secure boot, identity and key management, and over-the-air update strategies.
• Experience with industrial control systems, motor control, or industrial protocols is a strong plus. Familiarity with regulatory standards such as UL, IEC, ISO, or EMI/EMC is also a plus.
• Fluent in modern software engineering practice: Agile delivery, CI/CD, version control, automated testing, and observability.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to explain complex technical decisions to engineering teams, executive leadership, and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working with globally distributed engineering teams across multiple regions.

The pay range for this role is $150,000-$160,000, excluding incentive opportunities. The pay range takes into account a wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skills; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and geographic location.
