Specialist-DERMS (Power & Controls Systems)

What you’ll do:

The Specialist would be responsible for defining system architecture as well as control design for Distributed Energy Resource Management System 
(DERMS) for microgrid products. This role entails defining system architecture, design & implement controls for energy management, maintaining power 
system models, test strategy, developing test scripts, MIL-HIL validation of the controls. The role also requires to lead the design & implementation efforts of 
the control team; would be responsible for the technical delivery of the control team.
 A self-motivated individual is imperative; one who is always looking for learning new technology and ways to improve the user experience, stay abreast with 
modern software development techniques, tools to meet launch deadlines.
•    Defines system architecture, designs, implements, and maintains efficient, reliable, and reusable power system and control strategies for power 
management products.
•    Analyzes models in Power system development environment and proposes innovative solutions for control algorithm running on edge or cloud.
•    Apply the modeling process in the design of controllers and development techniques for improvement of distributed energy management systems.
•    Techincally leads and guides the control modelling, MIL-HIL validation of controls within the team.
•    Drives investigation of problems by gathering enough information to find the root causes and fix them in real time modeling environment.
•    Drives technical collaboration or partnership with Eaton internal stakeholders.
•    Focus on innovation, files IP disclosures, patents, technical paper submissions, talks in technical conferences
