Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
System Synthesists analyze requirements and design and integrate the overall architecture of systems, combining multiple subsystems to build optimized IT systems.
Description
System Synthesists develop the overall system configuration and architecture based on requirements from customers and stakeholders. They use modeling techniques such as UML and SysML to design interfaces and data flows between subsystems. They integrate element technologies developed by multiple vendors or teams, ensuring consistency, performance, and security requirements are met. They plan and execute integration tests and verification, identifying and addressing issues and risks early. Project management and stakeholder coordination skills are required, and their importance is increasing in environments advancing with DX, IoT, and cloud utilization.
Future Outlook
With the acceleration of DX and the spread of IoT, cloud, and edge computing, the demand for experts who can oversee and design integrated systems as a whole is increasing. While design efficiency improves with the use of AI and automation tools, the role of integrating increasingly complex systems remains essential.
