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.
