Engineer - Electromagnetics

## What you’ll do:

The Modeling & Simulation Center of Excellence for ES Americas is seeking an Engineer – Electromagnetics to support the design and development of electrical products, including switchgear, busway, switches, UPS, circuit protection devices, and related assemblies. The incumbent will develop and validate Electromagentic models to predict Magnetostatic & Dielectric performance. The role requires close collaboration with product engineering, test, and global technical teams to understand design intent, define analysis requirements, interpret results, and provide practical design recommendations. The engineer will contribute to Eaton’s Analysis First strategy by independently executing moderately complex analyses by applying electromagnetics simulation methods, while delivering high-quality results within agreed project timelines.

"• Collaborate with product engineering and global stakeholders to translate design questions into clear electromagnetic analysis requirements.

• Perform electromagnetic analyses for switchgear, busway, switches, UPS systems, circuit protection devices, and associated components and assemblies.
• Develop appropriate electrostatic, magnetostatic, eddy-current, transient electromagnetic, and coupled electro-thermal models based on the engineering requirement.
• Prepare geometry, generate meshes, assign material properties, define excitations and boundary conditions, and establish appropriate solver settings.
• Evaluate quantities such as current density, magnetic flux density, induced currents, electromagnetic forces, losses, electric-field distribution, and dielectric stress as applicable.
• Review model assumptions and perform engineering checks to confirm that simulation results are physically reasonable and suitable for design decisions.
• Interpret and summarize analysis results, identify electromagnetic risks, and provide technically sound design recommendations to local and global teams.
• Develop verification and validation plans, correlate simulation predictions with test data, document gaps, and improve model fidelity.
• Create clear technical reports and presentations that document inputs, assumptions, methods, results, conclusions, limitations, and recommendations.
• Support parametric studies, design optimization, and sensitivity assessments to improve product performance, reliability, cost, and development cycle time.
• Contribute to reusable simulation templates, best practices, automation scripts, and standard work that improve analysis speed, consistency, and repeatability.
• Participate in technical reviews and proactively communicate progress, dependencies, technical risks, and schedule risks."

## Qualifications:

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Power Systems, Power Electronics, Electromagnetics, Electrical Machines, or a closely related discipline.

~0-2 Years of relevant academic, research, or industry experience in engineering analysis, simulation.

## Skills:

"Required:

• Strong fundamentals in electromagnetic field theory, electrical machines, power systems, and electrical engineering.
• Understanding of electromagnetic-analysis workflows, including geometry preparation, meshing, material definition, excitations, boundary conditions, solver setup, convergence assessment, post-processing, and result interpretation.

Preferred:

• Exposure to ANSYS Maxwell, ANSYS Electronics Desktop, or equivalent electromagnetic simulation tools.
• Exposure to busbar systems, switching devices, circuit protection, electromechanical actuators, transformers, inductive components, or power-electronic equipment.
• Basic scripting or automation experience using Python, MATLAB, VBA, or tool-specific scripting interfaces."

"• Learning agility and curiosity to understand new engineering domains, tools, and methods.

• Structured problem-solving with attention to accuracy, quality, and detail.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical work and present results.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and geographically distributed teams.
• Ownership of assigned work, with proactive communication of progress, dependencies, and risks.
• Effective planning and prioritization to deliver agreed outcomes within project timelines."
