Eaton Dublin

Eaton House in Dublin serves as our global headquarters and the home of our new Centre for Intelligent Power . Located in the heart of the city, this centre brings together leading researchers and innovators who are focused on meeting the challenge of intelligent power through machine learning , computational intelligence , and data science . This is where we develop the technologies that will shape the future of how the world manages, distributes, and optimises power.

What you’ll do:

Eaton Corporation’s Center for Intelligent Power is seeking a Senior Engineer, Embedded Systems Design to lead the design and development of next-generation edge intelligence platforms. The role combines hands-on embedded systems development with technical leadership across moderately complex projects, from concept through implementation and delivery.

The successful candidate will drive the design of hardware-integrated software solutions for edge devices, including prototyping, testing, and product integration, while coordinating activities across cross-functional teams and stakeholders. They will contribute to the development and optimization of analytics workloads and provide technical guidance on system architecture, signal processing, and hardware integration.

Operating with a high degree of independence, this role influences project direction, ensures delivery against requirements, and applies advanced engineering methods and tools to solve complex problems in an agile development environment.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related engineering discipline.
Minimum of 3 years’ experience in embedded C/C++ development with delivery of high-quality products.

Skills:

• Strong experience with source control systems (e.g., Git) and build systems (cross-compilation, multi-repository environments).
• Experience developing for real-time embedded Linux or RTOS environments (threading, communication, memory management).
• Strong hardware/software integration knowledge including schematics, drivers, and communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, DMA).
• Experience with signal processing techniques (FFT, DWT, filtering).
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink code generation for embedded systems.
• Proven debugging and problem-solving skills grounded in deep technical understanding.
• Demonstrated ability to apply advanced problem-solving techniques and engineering tools to complex system challenges.
• Strong system-level understanding of embedded hardware/software interactions and performance optimisation.
• Awareness of emerging technologies, tools, and development methodologies.
• Experience applying structured engineering processes (e.g., DFSS, Lean) preferred.
