Responsibilities
Lead the definition, evolution, and governance of Eaton’s power systems modeling strategy across multifidelity levels (architecture, reduced order, system level, and EMT grade)
Define simulation structures and workflows integrating electrical, thermal, mechanical, and other multidomain interactions
Develop and own models for power system studies such as protection coordination, load flow, short circuit behavior, harmonics and power quality analysis, converter interactions, transient stability, dynamic response, resilience/blast radius analysis, and greenfield/brownfield datacenter evaluations
Build scalable model structures and reusable libraries using PSCAD and Simulink/Simscape Electrical as the primary environments for electrical system modeling
Lead multitool modeling workflows using electrical system tools (PSS®E, CYME, ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, etc.) and Modelica based or other specialized environments for thermal fluid, mechanical, and Multiphysics studies, ensuring cross tool alignment and fidelity across all study types
Partner with System Architects and MBE teams to embed modeling insights into architecture selection, requirement definition, and design tradeoff decisions
Translate application engineering needs into modeling structures, fidelity targets, test cases, and simulation plans
Maintain traceability between modeling artifacts, architecture elements, and system requirements (aligning with MBSE practices)
Coordinate modeling activities across groups such as ERL, CDE, divisional engineering teams (UPS, switchgear, converters, transformers)
Promote model governance, documentation standards, reusable assets, and consistent modeling practices across programs
Develop scalable simulation templates, standardized workflows, and reusable modeling patterns to accelerate adoption across the organization
Support real-time and hardware in the loop validation using platforms such as OpalRT, Typhoon HIL, and ETDS when required for system level verification
Qualification
