Chief Systems Architect

Schneider Electric has a meaningful opportunity available for a Chief Systems Architect in our Power Products division.

You will work for a company consistently rated by Fortune as one of the "Great Places to Work", by Glassdoor as "Best Places To Work" and by TIME as the #1 "Most Sustainable Company in the World."

Mission

Serve as the end-to-end technical authority for Schneider Electric solutions that integrate Solid State Transformer (SST) technologies with the wider electrical and infrastructure system.

Translate customer and market needs into engineering requirements, reference architectures and interface specifications.

Lead technical trade-offs across the full power train and ensure that system performance, safety, protection, control, thermal management, validation and lifecycle considerations are addressed coherently.


* Focus on the North America AI Factory pipeline, translating approved 36 kV SST and integrated power train strategies into reusable system architectures, interface definitions and technical readiness evidence.


* Apply this role's technical authority to NA system integration within the GSA-approved architecture and delegated decision limits.

Prepare technical recommendations and obtain GSA approval for material baseline changes, with GPO review for offer scope and roadmap impacts.


* Work with the Customer Solution Architect to convert customer application needs into system requirements, and with the PM to deliver technical work packages for customer pilots, UL certification, laboratory readiness and industrialization

Scope & Enviornment

Global architecture role supporting the US hub and distributed engineering teams in the US, Europe and China.

The technical scope may include grid and medium-voltage interfaces, SST power conversion, DC distribution, BESS, AI rack power, cooling infrastructure, protection, grounding, controls, communications, cybersecurity and digital services.

The role leads through technical authority and architecture governance rather than direct line management.


* Apply a North America-only market mandate supporting 34.5 kV utility applications using the approved 36 kV SST design basis.

Global teams are contributors to NA delivery rather than additional regional markets for this role.


* Concentrate on reusable integrated-system definition across MV distribution, SST, DC/DC, BESS, DC distribution, prefab, cooling, protection, controls and auxiliaries, using the approved DC-voltage architecture.


* Maintain the NA system reference and interface baseline for GSA review.

Translate Customer Solution Architect application inputs into integration requirements and provide the PM with technical deliverables, dependencies, effort and readiness criteria.


* Support internal certification, lab setup and production readiness as technical workstreams in the PM's integrated program, including periods when no customer PoC is active.
