Eaton Corporation is hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to join the Electrical Critical Power Solutions Division. In this role, you will architect, develop, and validate embedded software for real-time control systems within new product development, focusing on SiC-based three-phase power conversion systems for critical applications like data centers.
What You'll Do
- Review requirements and translate system specifications into embedded software architecture.
- Evaluate alternative software architecture solutions, balancing cost, performance, and schedule.
- Establish system and sub-system level requirements from functional specifications.
- Develop, debug, and test embedded software in C/C++ for real-time control.
- Validate designs using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation systems.
- Develop and optimize HDL code (VHDL/Verilog) for implementing digital control algorithms on FPGA.
- Perform synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure using FPGA toolchains like Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.
- Support board-level bring-up and debugging of PLC, microcontroller, and FPGA-based systems with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
- Apply engineering best practices for advanced technical problem solving.
- Provide technical guidance and leadership to other project team members.
- Work with global product development teams to solve problems related to performance, functionality, safety, and reliability.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with at least five (5) years of experience in real-time firmware/embedded software development.
- Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with at least three (3) years of experience in real-time embedded software development.
- Eaton will not consider applicants for employment immigration sponsorship or support for this position.
Nice to Have
- Design experience with power electronic products.
- Experience in embedded firmware development and programming in C/C++.
- Experience developing digital controls and algorithms for AC and DC power conversion.
- Experience using Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation.
- Experience with FPGA-based implementation of digital control algorithms and PWM modulation techniques.
- Familiarity with integrating FPGA designs with microcontrollers or DSPs.
- Ability to analyze and troubleshoot analog and digital control circuitry.
- Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Technical Stack
- C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, Control Toolbox, StateFlow
- Optimization Verification & Filter Designs
- VHDL/Verilog, Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus
- Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, RTOS
Team & Environment
