Direct Current for Data Center System Architect - Integration DC Solutions

oduct and installation quality. The role also partners with systems modeling and product teams to help develop an interactive customer-facing ROI model that evaluates key factors such as product and installation cost, footprint, and electrical efficiency. While heavily involved in system-level execution, this role does not define system architecture; instead, it strengthens end-to-end technical integrity by providing customer and operational insights to architecture teams.

In this role you will:

• Apply system-integration design considerations and trade-offs-including cost, safety, reliability, maintainability, constructability/modularity, interoperability, and operational behavior-to support design and deployment of DC power system solutions.

• Evaluate product and system interoperability by reviewing interface documentation, protection & controls interactions, thermal and mechanical constraints, and installation requirements to ensure cohesive system performance.

• Engage directly with customers during opportunity development, RFP responses, technical workshops, and design reviews to provide expert guidance on system-integration best practices.

• Collect, document, and communicate Voice of Customer (VOC) insights related to system behavior, installation preferences, safety expectations, and operational practices, translating these into actionable feedback for engineering and product line teams.

• Assess applicable electrical codes, safety standards, and compliance requirements to determine their impact on system layout, clearances, grounding, arc-flash mitigation, and operator safety.

• Provide technical guidance on thermal behavior, ampacity considerations, product spacing, high-density installation implications, and interconnection methods relevant to DC system integration.

• Support integration events, lab evaluations, and system readiness reviews by identifying cross-product performance risks, validating expected interactions, and collaborating with responsible engineering teams to resolve issues.

• Coordinate cross-functional alignment among product lines, applications engineering, quality, supply chain, and field deployment teams to promote predictable, reliable system operation.

• Support pilot deployments, customer trials, and co-innovation efforts by assisting in system-level sequencing, installation planning, test execution, and validation of real-world interoperability.

• Develop and maintain system-integration guidelines, best practices, lessons learned, and deployment recommendations to strengthen repeatability and reduce risk across programs.

• Participate in early-phase design reviews to provide integration insight and field-informed considerations, complementing rather than defining architectural or modeling decisions owned by higher-level engineering roles.

• Identify system-integration risks, contribute to mitigation planning, and ensure issues are appropriately escalated to technical authorities, supporting predictable execution and continuous improvement.

Your Qualifications:

• Minimum 8 years of experience in system integration, system engineering, field engineering, or multi-product system deployment within power systems, datacenters, or industrial applications

• Demonstrated experience supporting customer-facing technical engagements-including requirements clarification, RFP technical responses, engineering design reviews, or pilot deployment support

• Strong working knowledge of DC distribution systems, protection & controls interaction, thermal/ampacity considerations, installation constraints, and safety requirements

• Understanding of codes and standards relevant to high-power electrical installations (NEC, UL, IEEE, IEC)

• Ability to interpret electrical one-lines, mechanical/thermal constraints, and multi-product system interfaces

• Bachelors degree from an accredited institution in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Power Systems, or related technical field.

• 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:

• Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Power Systems, Controls, or related discipline

• Experience working on hyperscale datacenter or AI-compute power architectures

• Background in system integration for high-power DC systems or converter-dominated architectures

• Familiarity with system-level modeling outputs (Simulink/Simscape, Modelica, MBSE artifacts) and the ability to interpret-not create or govern-architecture or fidelity strategies

• Experience supporting field deployments, commissioning activities, or multi-product pilot integrations

• Knowledge of thermal modeling considerations, high-ampacity DC interconnections, and high-power safety engineering
