Schneider Electric & Autodesk are partnering to develop a new product to ease the design of electrical networks in the BIM environment. This is a very ambitious and promising partnership where the alliance of Autodesk and Schneider Electric's respective expertise will allow us to release on the market software that will support our customers from conceptual design to detailed design to enable their economic growth and overall business efficiency while designing more sustainable buildings.
Introduction Are you excited by solving technical challenges that come with building a scalable, highly available platform in a microservices environment enjoyed by users worldwide? Come join us at Schneider as part of the Revit Electric Software Group, where you will be an integral team member implementing exciting new features that engage and influence both Schneider and Autodesk customers worldwide. Our team faces a variety of unique and interesting challenges, from creating new features and components, implementing services across different tech-stacks, creating engaging end-user experiences, to building performant, scalable and highly available services that are seamlessly integrated with the Autodesk platform. Along the way, we will be creating and building best in breed product development and delivery standards and best practices from the ground up!
Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced electrical engineer, preferably a P.E. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering and having broad experience in electrical design, engineering, documentation and business knowledge to be a hands-on "voice of the customer", translating customer business needs and pain points into software development requirements and specifications.
The electrical engineering SME must have a strong understanding of the design of building electrical distribution systems across all design phases, from conceptual design to installation. They should also have a working knowledge of how various codes and standards are applied throughout this process, namely NEC, IEEE, and ANSI. Familiarity with the calculations outlined in the qualifications is also key to being successful in this role.
The SME should also be familiar with the Agile software development process.
So, If you are an expert in the electrical engineering and construction domain, have functional knowledge of Agile software development processes and are excited about leveraging that knowledge to contribute efficiently to innovative projects for the Revit Electrical Advanced Electrical Design solutions, this is the job for you!
Responsibilities
Developing the written specifications for how various electrical features will function within the application
Aiding in the translation of these specifications into functional requirements and user stories, which will then be used by development to create tangible feature
Identifying areas where technical solutions would improve business performance.
Translate business and customer needs into software requirements to build software solutions in a TDD/BDD capacity (test-driven development/behavior-driven development) capacity
Contributing to the development and verification of technical reference information, including user guides, training manuals, and system requirements.
Determining whether technical solutions meet defined requirements.
Build functional requirements documentation conveying a broad understanding of customer practices, identifying local habits and specificities co-designing solutions with targeted user
Collaborate with countries local electrical experts on code compliance & standards, and relevant design calculation input as per those relevant standards
Identify, document, and convey to design teams, target countries localization requirements linked to local offer and local electrical design practices
Give inputs to the product team about the different electrical global and local standards
Act as the voice of customer and business towards the development team
Participating and/or leading one-on-one and team sessions with peers, colleagues, partners, and customers that highlight Electrical Engineers business objectives, business issues and their resolution
Developing/delivering/leading Schneider industry strategy workshops for internal Schneider, as well as, partner consumption.
As guided by the QA/Testing leader, contribute to the definition of user acceptance test plans and acceptance criteria along with the Product Manager
Actively develops, manages, and nurtures select customer relationships, conducting ongoing, in-depth analysis of customer long-term technology issues and strategies for future roadmap development along with Product Managers and Product Owners
Qualifications
