Job description

The Opportunity:

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. ("SEL") seeks professional, innovative and detailed individuals for our Application Engineer - Protection position located at our field office in Plano, Texas.

If you are looking for an opportunity to work with industry experts while participating in developing cutting edge products, then this may be the position for you!

Application Engineer - Protection (Multiple Openings)

Responsibilities:

The Application Engineer - Protection is required to develop, maintain, and improve knowledge of power system protection and all SEL related products. The incumbent will apply the principles of electrical and computer engineering and: (1) help customers apply SEL products through visits, demonstrations, training courses, and telephone contacts; (2) contribute to product specifications, applications, and testing software and literature; (3) broadcast new information on product applications and testing to SEL national field offices; (4) participate in SEL marketing and sales activities and industry technical meetings and conferences; (5) teach in training schools for customers and SEL personnel; and (6) follow and improve marketing, sales, and engineering quality procedures.

TRAVEL:

These full-time positions will be based at SEL's Plano field office located at 101 E. Park Blvd., Suite 1180, Plano, Texas 75074.

However, the position requires regular on-site work at the Plano field office and does not permit remote work or work-from-home arrangements, notwithstanding any required business travel to customer sites.

To Apply:
