Model-Based System Design Specialist
About The Position
Eaton’s Electrical Sector – Americas (ES-A) is seeking a Model-Based System Design (MBSD) Specialist to support the adoption and execution of model-centric engineering practices across divisional product development programs. This role applies Model-Based System Design, integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Model-Based Design (MBD) principles to strengthen requirements clarity, system architecture modeling, plant and controls simulation, and virtual analysis workflows across products such as UPS systems, power electronics converters, industrial drives, and datacenter power-distribution technologies. The Specialist will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, such as systems, controls, firmware, hardware, and power electronics, to develop system and component level models, support requirement decomposition, execute simulation workflows, and help drive consistency and maturity of Model-Based Engineering practices across ES-A programs.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an accredited institution.
- Minimum of 7 years of experience in Model-Based System Design (MBSD) for embedded control system development, with strong application of model-based workflows in domains such as power electronics and power systems.
- For non-Eaton employees: Eaton will not consider applicants who require employment-based immigration sponsorship or support for this position. This includes, but is not limited to, CPT, OPT, STEM OPT, F-1 to H-1B, H-1B cap registration, O-1, E-3, TN status, I-485 job portability, or similar sponsorship or support needs.
Nice To Haves
- Master’s or Ph.D. degree in systems engineering, control systems, power electronics, mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
- At least 3 years of experience working in domains such as power electronics, UPS systems, drives, converter-based architectures, or related power system technologies.
- Demonstrated experience modeling power electronics converters, UPS systems, drives, or datacenter power infrastructure applications using model-based workflows.
- Experience with System Composer, SysML, IBM Rhapsody, or similar architecture modeling tools.
- Familiarity with requirements management tools such as DOORS NG, Jama, or Simulink Requirements.
- Experience integrating plant and controls models with firmware or software to support MIL, SIL, or co-simulation workflows.
- Experience with auto code generation workflows and embedded C/C++ integration.
- Ability to interpret engineering requirements and contribute to requirement decomposition and system model alignment.
- Strong communication, documentation, and teamwork abilities.
Responsibilities
- Support model-based development workflows, including plant modeling, control algorithm development, system level simulation, and early phase virtual validation.
- Develop and maintain Simulink/Stateflow models for system and component behavior across power electronics, UPS systems, datacenter power distribution, electric drives, and other control centric applications.
- Assist with architecture and requirements modeling, including SysML/System Composer functional structures, behavioral models, and requirement decomposition.
- Perform system level analysis through co-simulation of plant and control models, virtual performance assessments, tradeoff studies, and early phase concept evaluations.
- Apply model-based verification techniques, including MIL/SIL analysis, Model Advisor quality checks, requirement linked test execution, and simulation based behavioral validation.
- Support auto code generation workflows by structuring models for C/C++ integration into embedded firmware.
- Collaborate with cross functional engineering teams, such as firmware, software, hardware, systems, and power electronics, to align requirements, architecture, and model-based artifacts.
- Contribute to modeling standards, documentation, reusable libraries, templates, model structures, and modeling guidelines.
- Support domain specific modeling needs for converters, inverters, UPS topologies, power quality systems, motion/drive systems, and other simulation driven applications.
- Advance MBSD and MBSE workflows by updating processes, enhancing modeling automation, and refining toolchain configurations.
