Job description

Control System Design Engineer – Data Centre Systems R&D

Schneider Electric is seeking a highly skilled Control System Design Engineer to design, develop, and integrate 3‑phase UPS for data centre applications.

Responsibilities

• Hands‑on experience with control of power electronics, such as PWM strategies for 3‑phase inverters, sampling of PWM‑operated converters, and control loops (current control, DC voltage control, active/reactive power control).
• Analyse and optimise performance of power converters to ensure stability, reliability, and high efficiency.
• Model, simulate, and select optimal control strategies for converters.
• Understand project milestones and mitigate technical risks in accordance with the plan.
• Support a product methodology mindset: reuse solutions, improve quality, reliability, and reduce delivery timelines.
• Lead development and implementation of digital closed‑loop and control systems for new UPS platforms.
• Play a key role in engineering design reviews, technical leadership, identifying project risks and technical weaknesses, and proposing safe, reliable, and compliant solutions.
• Use fast prototyping and lab mock‑ups to close learning loops and achieve results quickly.
• Document design specifications, test procedures, and technical reports.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Control Systems or Power Electronics.
• 5 to 8 years of experience implementing digital control systems (DSP and FPGA) for three‑phase high‑power UPS and power converters.
• Experience with adaptive, optimal, or model predictive control based on industry standards.
• Proficiency in simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL).
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills for troubleshooting intricate control system challenges.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or similar.
• Knowledge of Grid‑Forming Control is a plus.
