Eaton’s Electrical Sector – Americas (ES/A) Systems Team is seeking a Model-Based System Design Specialist to join the team. The preferred location for this position is Raleigh, NC; Moon Township, PA could also be considered. Candidates must be local and commutable to one of these offices as relocation assistance is not available. Immigration sponsorship is not available. The expected annual salary range for this role is $113000 - $165000 a year. Please note the salary information shown above is a general guideline only. Salaries are based upon candidate skills, experience, and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations. ## What you’ll do: 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. 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. ## Qualifications: BASIC (Required) • 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. Candidates with a master’s degree may qualify with at least 5 years of relevant professional experience, and candidates with a Ph.D. may qualify with at least 4 years of relevant professional experience. • For non-Eaton employees: Eaton will not consider applicants who require employment-based immigration sponsorship or support for this position.
