Full Job Description
Position Location: This role supports our Cypress, CA branch location, which serves customers throughout the greater Los Angeles, CA area.

The Solution Engineer serves as a technical leader during pre-construction and early project phases, translating owner and project requirements into coordinated, constructible BAS design-assist solutions. This role partners closely with Engineers of Record, contractors, and internal delivery teams to identify risks early, resolve integration and constructability challenges, and deliver complete, compliant, and commissioning-ready engineering packages. The Solution Engineer ensures alignment between contract scope, design intent, and execution strategy while supporting complex projects across a wide range of vertical markets.

This position is offered as a hybrid role, combining the flexibility of remote work with the benefits of in-person collaboration. Team members may be required from time to time to visit the Siemens local office and/or worksite based on project expectations, with the remaining time remote. Specific scheduling may vary based on team needs, project timelines, and individual performance.

As a Solution Engineer, you will:
  • Translate project goals into complete BAS design-assist deliverables for a wide range of facilities, including higher education and K-12, data centers, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, high-rise buildings, and laboratories.
  • Lead constructability and integration readiness reviews to surface scope gaps, design conflicts, and interoperability risks early, and drive resolution with the EOR/GC/MEP teams.
  • Coordinate and drive development of design deliverables with area offices and stakeholders, ensuring documentation meets contract requirements, customer expectations, and Siemens standards, including:
  • Third-party system integration requirements
  • Mechanical/electrical layouts
  • Network diagrams and architecture
  • Bills of materials
  • Sequences of operations
  • Valve and damper schedules
  • DDC panel configuration and point mapping
  • Participate in internal and external meetings to support opportunities, provide technical direction, and contribute to pre-construction, project planning activities and engineering bid deliverables.
  • Lead design-assist execution through release, ensuring engineering packages are complete, compliant, and commissioning-ready; deliver a documented handoff to delivery teams, including scope assumptions, risk items, alternates, and commissioning readiness guidance.
  • Collaborate directly with contractors and the EOR to protect design intent and drive cost-effective technical decisions, including site visits and in-person working sessions as needed.
  • Analyze construction plans, contract specs, and applicable codes to identify requirements, conflicts, and potential risks early-before they become field issues.
  • Create engineering re-estimates and partner with sales and operations leadership to align scope, assumptions, and execution strategy
  • Perform peer reviews and quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across engineering outputs.
  • Support large, complex, and innovative projects-leveraging internal and external resources to deliver results on time and with high customer satisfaction.

You will make an impact with these qualifications:
