• 5+ years in power systems or data-center facilities.
• Experience with simulation tools and testing.
• Knowledge of North American and international electrical standards.

Responsabilités

• Translate disruptive trends into power-system requirements and criteria.
• Develop architectures from grid interface to IT load including MV/LV, UPS, energy storage and DC distribution.
• Model and simulate load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, transient, harmonic and stability performance.
• Assess how dynamic AI loads affect utilities, generators, UPS, storage, and distribution equipment.
• Lead proof-of-concept builds and laboratory or field validation, including test plans and acceptance criteria.
• Develop control strategies for load smoothing, peak shaving, ride-through, grid support, and microgrid operation.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and suppliers; identify portfolio gaps and incubation opportunities.
• Capture results in technical reports, reference designs, white papers, and patents.

Description du poste

Schneider Electric is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer-Power Systems to join our dynamic team.

Why Tech Explore

Data center demand is surging as AI workloads, rising power density, limited energy availability, and sustainability goals reshape electrical infrastructure. Medium-voltage conversion, DC distribution, grid-interactive storage, and advanced UPS controls may redefine future data centers. Tech Explore identifies, models, prototypes, and validates the architectures that will meet customers' mid- and long-term needs.

What You Will Do

As a senior technical contributor in the Chief Technology Office (CTO) Data Center of the Future Tech Explore team, you will report to the team leader. You will lead exploration of next-generation data center power architectures, working with Schneider Electric divisions, customers, partners, and universities.

• Translate disruptive trends into power-system requirements and technology-selection criteria
• Develop architectures from the grid interface to the IT load, including MV/LV distribution, UPS, energy storage, power conversion, backup generation, and DC distribution
• Model and simulate load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, transient, harmonic, and stability performance using tools such as ETAP, PSCAD, or MATLAB/Simulink
• Assess how dynamic AI loads affect utilities, generators, UPS, storage, and distribution equipment
• Lead proof-of-concept builds and laboratory or field validation, including test plans and acceptance criteria
• Develop control strategies for load smoothing, peak shaving, ride-through, grid support, and microgrid operation
• Evaluate emerging technologies and suppliers; identify portfolio gaps and incubation opportunities
• Capture results in technical reports, reference designs, white papers, and patents
• Mentor engineers and represent Tech Explore at customer workshops, industry groups, conferences, and standards discussions

What You Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• More than 5 years of experience in power systems, critical facilities, data centers, power conversion, energy storage, or utility systems
• Experience with simulation tools and laboratory or field testing
• Familiarity with North American and international standards for power conversion, electrical safety, energy storage, and utility interconnection
• Ability to structure ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions, and make evidence-based recommendations
• Excellent communication, customer focus, and ability to lead global, matrixed teams without direct authority
• Desirable: PE registration or specialist certification; SESAM Level 1 or 2 for internal candidates
• English fluency required; French, Spanish, or another language is an advantage

Location and Travel

Full-time, U.S.-based, with a preference for the Boston, Massachusetts area. Travel within North America and internationally, approximately 20-30%.
