[Hiring] Solution Architect @Schneider Electric

Role Description

Schneider Electric has an opportunity for a Solution Architect as part of our Strategic Account Organization in the United States. Given the national scope of the role and associated travel expectations, preferred candidates will be based near a major airport with convenient access to domestic travel.

The Digital Power organization is looking for a Solution Architect to shape early design decisions by driving the technical design and specification of sophisticated power monitoring and control environments—with a credible, consultative point of view that turns ambiguity into integrated, multi-system solutions and deeper strategic account partnerships.

This isn’t a role for someone looking to execute a defined playbook. The environments this role supports are moving fast—from advanced, precision-driven production operations where an interruption measured in seconds carries real cost, to highly regulated, life-critical facilities where continuity is a matter of safety and compliance, not just uptime. Infrastructure demands have outpaced the frameworks most organizations use to manage them, and the customers building and expanding these facilities are dealing with a level of operational complexity that goes well beyond traditional power management.

We’re adding a Solution Architect with dedicated focus on these environments because the conversations happening at our most strategic accounts require someone who can walk in with a credible point of view, not just a product catalog. The right person will understand the environment well enough to reframe how a customer thinks about a problem before they’ve decided how to solve it.

This role reports directly to the Director of Strategic Accounts & Segments and works in close collaboration with the Digital Power Strategic Accounts commercial team. It’s a nationally scoped position with significant customer-facing travel at roughly 50%, and the autonomy to manage your own priorities across a portfolio of segments that reward initiative.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required; engineering discipline preferred
• Minimum 5 years of relevant industry experience
• Demonstrated ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders at senior levels
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% nationally

Requirements

• At least five years of experience in the electrical industry, with meaningful exposure to power monitoring, control systems, or related infrastructure domains
• Comfortable in rooms where the agenda isn’t fully defined; ambiguity doesn’t slow you down
• Lead with questions and insight, not features and specifications
• Familiarity with commercial dynamics to support a sales process without needing to own it
• Ability to operate without a lot of day-to-day direction
• Experience in or exposure to mission-critical, highly regulated, or advanced manufacturing environments is a genuine advantage

Benefits

• Medical (with member reward points), dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• Benefit Bucks, flexible work arrangements, paid family leaves, well-being programs
• 12 holidays per year, and 15 days of paid time off per year
• Competitive pay and programs including base salary, incentives, company share ownership, and 401(k) with match
• Support development through performance discussions, global opportunities, and learning platforms like Coursera
• Encouragement of collaboration, recognition, sharing your voice, and an inclusive workplace
• Volunteer leave, programs with the Schneider Electric Foundation, youth education initiatives, and military leave benefits
