Position: Principal Staff, Embedded Software Design
Build the electronics that power the digital world.

At Schneider Electric, we’re advancing the technologies behind mission-critical power infrastructure. We’re looking for a Principal Staff, Electronics Hardware Design Engineer to help shape the next generation of 3-phase UPS and DC power-conversion platforms used in data centers and other high-availability applications worldwide.

This is a high-impact individual contributor leadership role for an accomplished engineer who wants to remain close to the technology while influencing hardware strategy across global R&D teams. You’ll tackle our most complex electronics challenges, guide critical architecture decisions, and turn emerging technologies into safe, reliable and manufacturable products.

What will you do?

Shape multi-generation electronics hardware strategy for 3-phase UPS and DC power-conversion platforms.

Serve as a technical authority for control, sensing, protection, gate-drive, communications and auxiliary-power electronics.

Lead architecture decisions, design reviews and trade-offs across performance, safety, reliability, EMC, thermal design, cost and lifecycle requirements.

Guide the full hardware lifecycle, from requirements and schematic design through PCB implementation, prototype bring-up, verification, industrialization and field support.

Drive engineering rigor through worst-case, tolerance and stress analysis, DFMEA, design verification and root-cause investigation.

Advance new technologies that improve efficiency, power density, reliability, serviceability and cost competitiveness.

Partner with global R&D teams, semiconductor and component suppliers, laboratories and universities to accelerate innovation.

Mentor experienced engineers and strengthen technical capability and design reuse across global teams.

What qualifications will make you successful?

Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Power Electronics or equivalent expertise gained through significant industry experience.

Typically, 15+ years of electronics hardware development experience, with demonstrated technical leadership across complex products or platforms.

Deep expertise in analog/mixed-signal electronics, embedded control hardware, schematic design, component engineering, PCB design and laboratory validation.

Experience with high-power converters, UPS, energy systems, industrial drives or comparable high-reliability products.

Strong knowledge of EMC, product safety, reliability, derating, thermal design and design for manufacturing.

Ability to solve highly ambiguous technical problems and influence senior technical and business stakeholders.

Preferred:
Cadence experience; IGBT or SiC gate-drive expertise; patents, publications or standards participation.
