Senior Pre-Sales Solution Architect – Protection & Control

The opportunity

Power systems protection is the foundation of this role.

Bring your expertise in protecting medium- and high-voltage power systems to an opportunity where you can apply innovative technology to shape customer decisions, influence engineering specifications, and help define the next generation of protection architectures.

Join Schneider Electric's Digital Power Protection, Control & Automation (PCA) Center of Excellence to advance our vision of software-defined energy (SDE): centralizing protection functions within flexible, scalable architectures designed for high availability.

This vision enables protection systems to evolve through upgrades, redundancy, and expansion as customer needs grow.

Building on the state-of-the-art IEC 61850-native PowerLogic protection platform, you will help build the bridge to SDE, enabling utilities, data centers, and large industrial customers to deploy power systems faster.

You will develop, demonstrate, and specify integrated hardware and software solutions that bring this vision to life.

Your protection expertise will guide the engineering decisions, complemented by power automation and IT/OT capabilities.

For an experienced protection engineer ready to grow into a customer-facing technical and commercial role, this is an opportunity to expand your influence.

You will build on your engineering and field experience to become a trusted technical advisor, support strategic sales opportunities, and help customers adopt new approaches with confidence.
