Which is where you come in.

Working at Schneider Electric means working toward a cleaner, better world.

You're part of a global team built on inclusion, mastery, purpose, action, curiosity, and teamwork, turning sustainability ambitions into actions.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced Principal System Architect (Pre-Sales) - Electrical to lead the design of innovative power distribution and electrical infrastructure solutions for strategic data center customers.

As the electrical systems expert, you'll own end-to-end electrical architectures, from utility power intake and UPS systems through power distribution, monitoring, and rack-level power delivery.

Partnering closely with Key Account Managers and Solution Architects, you'll serve as a trusted advisor, influencing technical decisions, strengthening customer confidence, and driving successful business outcomes.

This is an exciting opportunity to combine deep electrical engineering expertise with customer engagement while helping shape the future of mission-critical data center and AI infrastructure.

What will you do?

Electrical System Design (Core Engineering)

Design complete electrical and power distribution systems for datacenter solutions:-


* Primary electrical infrastructure: utility service entry, transformer sizing, switchgear selection.


* UPS systems: topologies (2N, N+1, dual-bus), sizing for IT + cooling loads, battery runtime calculations, modular vs.

monolithic.


* Distribution architecture: primary/secondary distribution, PDU sizing, cable routing, voltage drop analysis.


* Monitoring and control: BMS integration, UPS/PDU interfaces, SNMP/Modbus protocols, alarm/alerting configuration.


* Grounding and bonding: single-point vs.

multi-point, lightning/surge protection, rack-level grounding strategies.


* AI DC electrical design: GPU cluster power profiles, CDU pump load integration, power sequencing for high-density racks.


* Energy modeling: PUE contribution from electrical distribution, efficiency loss calculations, power factor optimization.


* Compliance: IEC, IEEE, NEC/local codes, Uptime Institute Tier electrical requirements, EN 50600

Solution Engineering Deliverables

Produce all electrical engineering outputs for bids:


* Single-line diagrams (SLD) at concept and scheme level.


* Load calculations and demand analysis


* Cable sizing, voltage drop calculations, short-circuit analysis


* Equipment specifications and schedules (transformers, UPS, switch...
