Solutions Architect – Digital Substation Solutions (m/f/d)

As a Solutions Architect, you drive the digitalization of substations: you design scalable compute and communication architectures, support customers from initial idea to operational deployment, and ensure that solutions in critical infrastructures run reliably.

• Technical Consulting: You analyze customer requirements, develop suitable architecture concepts, and conduct workshops, presentations, and training sessions (pre‑ and post‑sales)
• PoCs & Test Environments: You plan and implement Proof of Concepts, build lab environments, and translate findings into robust, practical implementations
• Quality Assurance: You test hardware‑related software (e.g., drivers, watchdogs, firmware), validate virtualization and container solutions, and ensure compatibility with Windows/Linux systems as well as network infrastructures
• Portfolio Development: You identify trends (edge computing, security, automation, IEC standards), closely collaborate with product management and development teams, and create technical guidelines and best practices
• Knowledge Transfer: You produce clear technical documentation such as manuals, installation guides, and training materials. You deliver internal and external training sessions and maintain knowledge databases to ensure consistently high documentation quality

• You hold a completed technical degree, e.g., Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Energy Technology, or a comparable qualification
• You have experience in administering and installing Windows server/client systems and IT networks
• You are familiar with hardware‑related software such as drivers, watchdog timers, or firmware
• You have practical experience with virtualization technologies (e.g., VMware ESXi, Hyper‑V) and container technologies (Docker, ideally Kubernetes) in edge and cloud environments
• You bring foundational skills in IT and OT security as well as solid knowledge of electrical engineering
• You demonstrate analytical thinking, a structured working style, and strong teamwork skills
• Your German and English skills are business fluent
• Ideally, you already have knowledge of primary and secondary substation technology (e.g., switchgear, protection systems, automation systems)
• Basic knowledge of grid protection, control systems, and communication protocols in the energy sector is desirable

• Flexible working hours based on a 40‑hour week — including partial remote work if desired
• Targeted training opportunities and a genuine development culture
• An attractive compensation package, tax‑free benefits via Belonio, subsidies for retirement plans, and capital‑forming benefits
• Additional perks such as JobRad leasing, fitness subsidies, massages, and health days
• Team spirit beyond working hours through summer and Christmas events as well as regular after‑work gatherings
• A modern, well‑equipped workplace
• Free beverages such as water, coffee, cocoa, and tea
• Sufficient parking spaces directly in front of the building
