Eaton’s Advanced Technology team is hiring a Lead Systems Engineer for its Protection, Control, and Solutions business. We are seeking an innovative, problem-solver to lead the technical integration of our next-generation solid-state circuit breaker product line, from architecture development through production. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new category of power protection technology from the ground up – working shoulder-to-shoulder with a cross-functional engineering team to turn cutting-edge semiconductor and protection technology into a product line that redefines how electrical systems are protected.

This role will be located in Moon Township, PA. A hybrid work model (3 onsite/2 remote) is available.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

  • Own systems engineering architecture across a portfolio of solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) products, leading development from concept through production release.

  • Translate top-level product requirements, including electrical, thermal, mechanical, safety, and regulatory requirements, into subsystem and component-level specifications for multiple product variants.

  • Serve as the technical integration lead across Mechanical Engineering, Embedded Electronics, Power Electronics, Firmware/Controls, and Industrialization Engineering teams.

  • Develop and maintain system architectures, interface definitions, and interface control documents (ICDs) for complex electro-mechanical products.

  • Lead requirements management and traceability, ensuring alignment from customer and market needs through verification and validation activities.

  • Drive architectural standardization, modularity, and platform reuse opportunities across the SSCB product portfolio.

  • Define and manage verification and validation (V&V) strategies, test plans, and execution in partnership with V&V Engineering.

  • Facilitate technical design reviews, risk assessments, FMEAs, root cause investigations, and corrective action initiatives across cross-functional teams.

  • Partner with Program Management to align technical scope, schedule, resources, and risk across multiple concurrent development programs.

  • Collaborate with Marketing and Product Management to ensure product specifications align with customer requirements, market needs, and business objectives.

  • Support manufacturing readiness reviews, product industrialization efforts, and successful transition-to-production activities.

Qualifications:

Basic (Required) Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field

• 5+ years of systems engineering experience in electrical/electronic hardware product development

• Demonstrated experience taking complex electromechanical or power electronics products from concept through production

• Experience with design review processes and risk analysis methods (FMEA, fault tree, etc.)

• Eaton will not consider applicants for employment immigration sponsorship or support for this position. This means that Eaton will not support any CPT, OPT, or STEM OPT plans, F-1 to H-1B, H-1B cap registration, O-1, E-3, TN status, I-485 job portability, etc.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with solid-state circuit protection, power switching, or protection relays

• Experience managing systems engineering across multiple concurrent product lines or a product platform

• Experience in a startup or fast-paced R&D environment with hands-on, hardware-rich development

• Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tool experience (e.g., Cameo, DOORS, Jama)

• Experience applying Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodologies (DOE, DFMEA, DVP&R) to hardware product development

Skills:

• Working knowledge of power systems (power distribution, protection, or switching)

• Systems thinking and ability to translate customer needs into engineering requirements across a product family

• Strong cross-functional communication and technical leadership without direct authority

• Requirements management and traceability tools

• Risk assessment and mitigation planning

• Comfortable operating at both architecture level and detailed technical depth when needed

• Verification and validation planning and execution

• Problem-solving under ambiguity in a novel product development environment

• Clear technical documentation and presentation skills for internal and customer-facing audiences
