Lead Embedded Hardware Electrical Engineer

Location: Moon

Eaton's PCS Group (Protection, Controls and Solutions) Advanced Technology Team is looking for a Lead Embedded Hardware Electrical Engineer to join our fast-paced team of engineers in developing cutting-edge technology for our next generation products. This position will be located onsite in Moon Township, PA, and a hybrid work model is available (3 onsite/2 remote). Relocation and sponsorship assistance will be provided to candidates currently residing within the US.

Build What Powers the Future:
Eaton's Protection, Controls & Solutions (PCS) Advanced Technology Team is shaping the future of circuit protection-across electrification, energy transition, and intelligent power systems. We're looking for a Lead Embedded Hardware Electrical Engineer who's excited to design, build, and influence the next generation of solid-state and power-electronic circuit protection technologies. If you thrive in environments where ideas move quickly from concept to prototype-and ultimately to real-world impact-this is your opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out:
* Own critical technology at the heart of next-gen AC/DC protection systems
* Lead from concept to prototype-not just incremental updates
* Work on cutting-edge tech (solid-state breakers, embedded controls, advanced sensing)
* Collaborate with top minds across Eaton Research Labs, universities, and national labs
* See your designs come to life in real products solving circuit protection challenges What You'll Do:
As a technical leader, you'll drive the embedded hardware architecture and development for advanced circuit protection platforms:
* Lead electrical design of embedded hardware for solid-state circuit breakers
* Architect and design systems including: *

Embedded processing & control
* Analog signal conditioning & protection
* Power supplies & drivers
* Metering, communications, and user interfaces
* Run circuit simulations and validate designs across edge conditions
* Partner with product and application teams to define system requirements
* Guide PCB layout and design execution, ensuring compliance with industry standards and certifications
* Develop and execute test strategies (component, PCBA, and system-level)
* Drive design reviews, quality, and technical rigor
* Own project planning-roadmap, schedules, and execution tracking
* Contribute to innovation initiatives and IP development What you'll do:
What You Bring
* Strong background in embedded hardware design for power electronics or controls systems or related electronic systems
* Experience with analog + digital design, including signal processing and power circuits, along with digital and embedded processor design
* Hands-on expertise with circuit simulation, PCB design, and hardware validation
* Ability to lead technically while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams
* Passion for solving complex engineering challenges and pushing boundaries The Impact You'll Make Your work will directly enable technologies that support:
* Data Centers, Electrification and renewable energy integration
* Safer, smarter power distribution systems
* Next-generation protection in both AC and DC applications
