Full job description

What you’ll do:

The Senior Engineer, Power and Controls is responsible for the model-based development and system-level validation of control solutions for grid-connected power systems and power-electronic products across Eaton’s power, energy, and digital portfolio .This role involves developing power-system, power-electronics, plant, and control models to support controls development, grid-interconnection studies, grid-code compliance, and product validation. The engineer will work as an individual contributor and collaborate with controls, systems, hardware, firmware, software, and validation teams.Key ResponsibilitiesPerform grid-interconnection and grid-code compliance studies under normal, disturbed, fault, and weak-grid conditions for DERs, Large Electronic Loads and other Grid connected systems.Develop power-system, power-electronics, plant, and control models using MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, and DIgSILENT PowerFactory Model converter power stages and controls for UPS, SST, AFE, DER, BESS, and microgrid applications .Apply Model-Based Design for controls development and system-level validation.Support real-time testing using OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, or equivalent platforms .Translate product and grid-code requirements into simulation scenarios, test cases, and acceptance criteria.Validate and document models using simulation, HiL, laboratory, and product test results.Collaborate with cross-functional teams and participate in technical design and model reviews.

Qualifications:

Three to five years of relevant experience in power-system modelling, power-electronics modelling, controls development, Model-Based Design, grid-interconnection studies, or real-time simulation. M.Tech./M.E. in Power Systems, Power Electronics B.Tech./B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline Hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, and/or DIgSILENT PowerFactory for grid-interconnection studies covering ride-through, dynamic performance, power quality, converter-grid interaction, and large-load behaviour. Basic experience with OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, or an equivalent real-time simulation platform .Strong understanding of power-system fundamentals, Distributed Energy resources, Microgrids, Grid following and Grid forming control modes, Grid interconnection standards like IEEE 1547, EN50549, ERCOT and other regional grid codesGood understanding of the working principles of UPS systems, Solid-State Transformers, Active Front End converters, DER systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and microgrids.Good understanding of the primary and secondary controls of power-electronic converters used in UPS, SST, DER, energy-storage, and grid-connected inverter applications.Understanding of isolated and non-isolated DC-DC converters, two-level and three-level inverters, bidirectional converters, and their control requirements.Ability to develop control and power-stage or plant models for system-level studies, grid-interconnection assessments, and grid-code compliance verification for both MiL and HiL validation

Skills:

Own moderately complex modelling, controls, and validation work packages.

Execute day-to-day technical activities with limited supervision.

Develop accurate, reusable, configurable, and well-documented models.

Apply strong engineering judgment to select suitable model fidelity for each study.

Identify modelling assumptions, limitations, numerical issues, and validation gaps.

Communicate technical findings clearly through reports, simulation results, and design reviews.

Collaborate effectively across controls, systems, hardware, firmware, software, and validation teams.

Progress toward technical leadership in power-system modelling, power-electronics controls, Model-Based Design, and grid-interconnection studies.
