Senior Electronics Hardware Architect for Power & UPS

Schneider Electric; Andover (MA); On-site; USD 169,000 - 253,000; Full time

Job summary

Schneider Electric seeks a Principal Staff Electronics Hardware Design Engineer to shape multi-generation electronics hardware for 3-phase UPS and DC power-conversion platforms. You will influence architecture, guide design across control, sensing, protection and gate-drive systems, and lead critical reviews with global teams.

You will mentor engineers, drive robustness with DFMEA, thermal and reliability analyses, and advance reusable assets while collaborating with suppliers and universities

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Power Electronics or equivalent expertise.
• Typically 15+ years in complex electronics-hardware development with impact across products, platforms or organizations.
• Deep knowledge of analogue, mixed-signal and embedded control hardware, schematic design, component engineering, PCB implementation and laboratory validation.
• Experience with high-power converters, UPS, energy systems, industrial drives or similarly demanding high-reliability products.
• Strong command of EMC, safety, reliability, derating, thermal and design-for-manufacture considerations.
• The credibility to influence senior stakeholders, mentor experienced engineers and make sound decisions amid ambiguity.
• Fluent professional English. Cadence experience and exposure to IGBT or SiC gate-drive systems are strong advantages.

Responsibilities

• Shape multi-generation electronics hardware strategy for 3-phase UPS and DC power-conversion platforms.
• Guide architecture and detailed design of control, sensing, protection, gate-drive, communication and auxiliary-power electronics.
• Lead critical design reviews, technical trade-offs and root-cause investigations spanning hardware, firmware, systems, electromechanics and verification.
• Advance design quality through robust analysis, DFMEA, worst-case and stress analysis, design rules, reference designs and reusable engineering assets.
• Drive innovation with suppliers, universities, laboratories and global R&D teams, creating patents and differentiated technology where appropriate.
• Mentor engineers and strengthen a global community of electronics-hardware expertise while remaining close to real engineering work.
