What is a Solutions Architect at & General Intuition?
At & General Intuition, a Solutions Architect (including specialized Systems Architect roles in RTOS and POSIX) sits at the absolute intersection of cutting-edge hardware, intelligent software, and mission-critical physical deployments. Unlike traditional enterprise software environments, the systems built here must operate flawlessly in the real world under extreme, often degraded conditions. Whether you are architecting the low-level operating system foundations for autonomous defense platforms or designing the integrations that connect distributed sensors to a centralized command-and-control network, your work has a direct, tangible impact on national security and human lives.
This role is highly collaborative and technically demanding. You will bridge the gap between complex hardware platforms—such as autonomous aerial vehicles, underwater defense systems, and ground-based sensor arrays—and the intelligent software layer, driven by Lattice OS, that coordinates them. To succeed, you must possess a deep appreciation for hardware-software co-design, real-time operating systems, and distributed systems architecture, combined with a pragmatic, mission-first mindset.
The problems you will solve are complex, unscripted, and highly scale-dependent. You will work alongside world-class hardware engineers, embedded software developers, and product teams to translate highly ambiguous customer needs into robust, scalable, and secure technical architectures. For a builder who thrives on physical-world impact and refuses to be confined to a purely virtual sandbox, this is one of the most challenging and rewarding technical roles in the industry.
