Staff Engineer - Engineering Enablement

Staff Engineer - Engineering EnablementHubbell Utility Solutions is seeking a Staff Engineer (10+ years experience) to join our Engineering Enablement team — a cross-functional group whose product is the productivity of every engineer in the organization. This team operates on a model widely adopted across the industry (Platform Engineering / DevEx): instead of every product team solving common infrastructure challenges independently, we build shared capabilities once and continuously improve them for everyone.In this role, you will design and build the 'golden paths' engineers use every day — the fastest, safest, and most reliable way to build, test, and release embedded products. These are not documents — they are working systems: CI/CD pipelines, automation frameworks, test infrastructure, and developer workflows. You will work at the intersection of embedded firmware, Python-based automation, Azure DevOps platform engineering, and real hardware validation — helping transform how engineering is performed across the organization.A Day In The Life Every day at Hubbell is different and you'll contribute in many ways.

On any given day, you'll make a difference by:Most engineering roles focus on building a single product. This role focuses on building the systems that make every product team faster.You will shape how firmware is built, tested, and released across the organization, creating shared infrastructure used by multiple teams.This is the same pattern used by leading technology companies and is commonly referred to as Platform Engineering or Developer Experience (DevEx).This role offers outsized technical impact: instead of improving one system, your work improves the productivity, reliability, and velocity of the entire engineering organization.What you will buildGolden Paths for EngineeringDesign and implement end-to-end CI/CD systems for embedded firmware — from commit to releaseBuild reusable pipeline templates and automation frameworks used across multiple product teamsCreate onboarding and self-service systems that reduce setup time and improve consistencyEngineering Infrastructure as a ProductTreat CI/CD pipelines and engineering tooling as product-grade systems — reliable, observable, and continuously improvedIntegrate build, test, security, signing, and release into seamless workflowsDefine and evolve standard patterns that become the easiest and best way to workEmbedded + Automation SystemsAutomate build, flash, and validation workflows involving embedded toolchains and real hardwareIntegrate hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and CI systemsDeveloper Experience (DevEx) EngineeringMeasure and improve build reliability, speed, and usabilityReduce friction across firmware, test, and systems engineering workflowsPartner with engineers to identify pain points and convert them into scalable solutionsTools and TechnologiesAzure DevOps (Pipelines, Repos, Artifacts)PythonGitYAML pipelinesEmbedded toolchains (IAR, Simplicity Studio, or similar)Build systems (C/C++)Test automation frameworksHardware-in-the-loop systemsDevSecOps tools (SAST, SCA, code signing)What will help you thrive in this role?Core SkillsStrong Python development for building automation, tooling, and engineering systemsExperience architecting CI/CD systems (Azure DevOps preferred)Deep understanding of build systems, version control, and release workflowsEmbedded SystemsExperience with firmware development or embedded build systemsComfortable working at the boundary between software and hardwareExperience Level10+ years in software engineering, firmware development, platform engineering, or similarDemonstrated ownership of complex systems used by other engineersMindsetTreat infrastructure and tooling as a productFocus on usability, reliability, and long-term maintainabilityMotivated by solving problems that impact entire organizationsNice to HaveExperience with Azure DevOps ecosystemsFamiliarity with test automation and hardware-in-the-loop systemsExperience integrating security/scanning tools into pipelinesGrowth PathThis role is designed as a high-impact technical leadership position. As the Engineering Enablement function matures, this role may evolve into broader platform ownership, architectural leadership, or domain-focused technical strategy roles.Hubbell Incorporated Hubbell creates critical infrastructure solutions that power our customers, communities, people and the planet. Our company is strategically aligned around enabling grid modernization and electrification.

As more products plug in to an aging grid, Hubbell solutions enable the transition to a more reliable, resilient and efficient energy infrastructure. Founded in 1888 our innovation has made us a leading global manufacturer of high quality electrical and utility solutions enabling customers to operate critical infrastructure reliably and efficiently. The company operates in two segments. Hubbell Utility Solutions (HUS) enable the grid to conduct, communicate and control energy across utility applications and Hubbell Electrical Solutions (HES) are essential to managing power across a wide range of industries and applications.

Our vertical market solutions can be applied to markets including Data Centers, Renewables, Commercial Buildings, Industrial, Telecom and Transportation. Supporting both of our business segments is our corporate and Hubbell Unified Business Solutions teams that provide consistent process, tools technologies across our businesses. We are committed to operating sustainably and ethically while promoting an inclusive and supportive culture for our people to grow and develop in their careers.
