The Solution Engineer serves as a technical leader during pre ‑ construction and early project phases, translating owner and project requirements into coordinated, constructible BAS design ‑ assist solutions. This role partners closely with Engineers of Record, contractors, and internal delivery teams to identify risks early, resolve integration and constructability challenges, and deliver complete, compliant, and commissioning ‑ ready engineering packages. The Solution Engineer ensures alignment between contract scope, design intent, and execution strategy while supporting complex projects across a wide range of vertical markets.

This position is offered as a hybrid role , combining the flexibility of remote work with the benefits of in-person collaboration. Team members may be required from time to time to visit the Siemens local office and/or worksite based on project expectations, with the remaining time remote. Specific scheduling may vary based on team needs, project timelines, and individual performance.

As a Solution Engineer, you will:

• Translate project goals into complete BAS design-assist deliverables for a wide range of facilities, including higher education and K–12, data centers, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, high-rise buildings, and laboratories.
• Lead constructability and integration readiness reviews to surface scope gaps, design conflicts, and interoperability risks early, and drive resolution with the EOR/GC/MEP teams.
• Coordinate and drive development of design deliverables with area offices and stakeholders, ensuring documentation meets contract requirements, customer expectations, and Siemens standards, including:
• Third-party system integration requirements
• Mechanical/electrical layouts
• Network diagrams and architecture
• Bills of materials
• Sequences of operations
• Valve and damper schedules
• DDC panel configuration and point mapping
• Participate in internal and external meetings to support opportunities, provide technical direction, and contribute to pre‑construction, project planning activities and engineering bid deliverables.
• Lead design‑assist execution through release, ensuring engineering packages are complete, compliant, and commissioning‑ready; deliver a documented handoff to delivery teams, including scope assumptions, risk items, alternates, and commissioning readiness guidance.
• Collaborate directly with contractors and the EOR to protect design intent and drive cost‑effective technical decisions, including site visits and in‑person working sessions as needed.
• Analyze construction plans, contract specs, and applicable codes to identify requirements, conflicts, and potential risks early—before they become field issues.
• Create engineering re‑estimates and partner with sales and operations leadership to align scope, assumptions, and execution strategy
• Perform peer reviews and quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across engineering outputs.
• Support large, complex, and innovative projects—leveraging internal and external resources to deliver results on time and with high customer satisfaction.

You will make an impact with these qualifications:

• Associate degree in engineering, electronics, computer science or related field; bachelor’s degree preferred. Will consider equivalent combination of education and work experience.
• 5+ years of building automation (HVAC controls) design experience
• Ability to travel up to 25%, Occasional travel will be required for important team gatherings, project kick‑offs, strategic discussions, or training
• Apply strong knowledge of engineering and contracting processes including submittal packages, documentation expectations, and requirements tied to successful project execution
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and business operations within construction/contracting environments
• Confident communicator able to present technical concepts clearly to groups; C‑level customer experience preferred
• Legally authorized to work in the United States on a continual and permanent basis without company sponsorship
