Job Description

At Schneider Electric, we envision a world where most homes around the world are fully electric, way more intelligent, and instead of contributing to climate change – are helping fix it!

We mean 100% clean solar power saving you money and seamlessly protecting you from blackouts. Adding intelligence to every outlet, appliance and light socket in your home with clever algorithms that automatically fine-tune your energy usage. Toggle off the stove if you’re not sure you left it on, put your home in “low power mode” and leave on only the essentials to save you money or help you ride through an outage. Charge your EV only from your solar panels or when the grid is greenest. Even power your home from your car!

We are building out a portfolio of home energy products including solar inverters, home batteries, EV chargers, smart electrical panels, connected outlets and smart lighting solutions that work together to make revolutionary new things possible at home. All from our app!

Come join the team that’s bringing us into a new era of sustainable and intelligent homes.
