Substation Monitoring Systems Architect Leader GridBeats

To accelerate growth and enhance customer value, Grid Automation is evolving its structure to drive innovation in grid flexibility, reliability, and sustainability while strengthening its core portfolio. A key aspect of this transformation is the creation of the GridBeats Product Line, which focuses on software-defined automation solutions, integrating advanced technologies, and developing differentiated product platforms to meet future market needs. Join us in building the Future of Substation Monitoring. Lead the architecture of a next-generation solution that brings together smart online sensors, seamless data integration, and advanced analytics to transform real-time grid operations. If you’re passionate about innovation, system design, and making a real impact on critical energy infrastructure-this is your opportunity to shape what’s next., We are looking for a Senior Systems Architect to lead the architecture and system-level definition of a digital monitoring platform for substation primary assets and equipment, enabling proactive maintenance, advanced analytics, and integration across diverse substation environments. This is a pivotal role for shaping the product, requiring a unique blend of system-level thinking, product discovery, and technical leadership. Roles and Responsibilities:

• Define and own the overall architecture of the substation monitoring platform, encompassing hardware, firmware, software, and data layers.
• Design software architecture to support edge-to-cloud integration, including secure communication, scalable data pipelines, and deployment flexibility
• Lead system-level design trade-offs across performance, cost, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Create and maintain architectural documentation and models to guide development and integration across technical teams.
• Ensure alignment of architecture decisions with product goals, customer needs, and operational constraints.
• Develop a forward-looking platform strategy to support integration of AI/analytics, expandability, and evolving grid needs.
• Translate customer and stakeholder needs into clear system-level requirements and interface specifications.
• Define system capabilities and requirements for continuous monitoring of primary substation assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, switchgear, and instrument transformers.
• Ensure that platform components (e.g., data acquisition, processing, visualization, and diagnostics) are designed to run efficiently in both local and distributed environments
• Specify and support integration of sensor technologies, diagnostic algorithms, and edge data processing to enable real-time health assessments.
• Participate in product discovery and early prototyping efforts, including international field visits where necessary.
• Align system design with industry standards (e.g., IEC 61850, IEEE C37, DNP3, MODBUS) for secure and reliable operation in grid environments.
• Integrate sensor data, asset models, and diagnostic tools into a unified platform across edge devices and cloud infrastructure.
• Support validation and field testing in collaboration with asset experts to ensure monitoring efficacy and platform robustness.
• Establish architectural patterns for modular deployment, secure access control, update mechanisms, and multi-tenant operation for cloud systems.
• Manage technical decisions around containerization (e.g., Docker), orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure).
• Collaborate with asset and reliability engineers to deliver real-time dashboards, event alarms, and predictive insights accessible from both on-premises and cloud systems
• Contribute to asset lifecycle insights, including predictive maintenance, asset diagnostics, and anomaly detection strategies.
• Maintain deep awareness of customer operations, asset usage patterns, and maintenance practices to inform product direction.

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (master’s preferred).
• Solid and strong experience in system architecture or complex product development in industrial or energy applications.
• Proven experience architecting systems for hybrid deployment models: on-premises (e.g., virtual machines, rack-mounted servers) and cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure).
• Proven experience developing hardware-software systems with real-world deployment in harsh or critical environments.
• Understanding of systems decomposition, requirements flow-down, and cross-domain interface definition.
• Demonstrated leadership in technical coordination across cross-functional teams.
• Experience in new product development, from concept through release, including field trials.
• Ability to clearly communicate architecture and trade-offs to varied audiences, both technical and executive.

• Fluent in spoken and written English. Desired Characteristics:

• Domain knowledge in electric power transmission & distribution, especially substations and high-voltage asset monitoring.
• Familiarity with substation primary equipment, sensors, data acquisition, and monitoring practices.
• Exposure to edge computing, IoT architectures, and real-time analytics.
• Understanding of AI/ML applications for predictive diagnostics or fault analysis.
• Hands-on problem solver with systems-thinking and abstraction capability.
• Experience with Agile/Scaled Agile frameworks and collaborative development.
• High emotional intelligence, strong communication, and stakeholder influence skills.
