What you’ll do:

Hardware Lead Engineer

Eaton's Power Reliability division is currently seeking a motivated Hardware Lead Engineer for its Utility Intelligent Devices Engineering team. This team is a critical resource that develops substation-grade gateways and IO devices to support substation and utilities automation with combined revenues of over $30M in the Power Systems Division. This role is based at our office in Lévis (Québec) and offers hybrid work opportunities, stimulating technological projects, as well as benefits from day one.

What you’ll do:
As a Hardware Engineer, you will be part of an agile team who develop and sustain intelligent embedded electronic devices for high performance, high reliability, and real-time automation for electrical substations and utilities. You will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team composed of engineers and technicians (firmware, software, hardware, test, manufacturing, QA), distributed around the world. You will participate in the complete product development lifecycle (architecture definition, component selection, system and sub-system level requirements definition, simulations, design, test plan definition, schematic entry, PCB layout) and execution to production release. You will also engage actively in product maintenance and sustainment (alternate / second source part qualification, product re-design, and other similar / relevant sustaining activities).

Essential Responsibilities:
• Own end to end electronic hardware architecture, design, and verification for embedded products (examples are digital/analog, power, high speed interfaces such as PCIe / USB / Ethernet, microcontrollers/microprocessors and FPGA, PMICs, low-speed interfaces such as SPI / I2C / UART, etc.), from requirements through validation and production release.
• Lead HW requirements flow down, design tradeoffs justification, derating, simulation/analysis, design reviews and DfX (DFM/DFA/DFT).
• Champion product compliance/readiness for utility environments.
• Collaborate with FW/SW, Systems, Marketing, Test, Manufacturing/Quality, Product and Supply Chain teams to ensure platform reuse, manufacturability, robust V&V plan, and sustaining viability across products lifecycle.
• Develop tests for board bring up and design verification, document test plan, test criteria and conduct tests for circuitry design.
• Proficient with standard (Oscilloscope, multimeter, power supply, waveform generator) and advanced (electrostatic discharge gun, fast transient generator, surge generator, HiPot tester) electronic measurement tools.
• Troubleshoot system issues during development projects and throughout the product lifecycle.
• Understand logic / digital circuit architecture (RESET sequences, high-speed communication interfaces, integration of HW and FW) and common timing / integrity challenges encountered in such circumstances.
• Mentor/lead team made of senior and junior engineers as well as technicians; facilitate communities of practice, guide technical reviews. Align behaviors to the Eaton Leadership Model (ELM).

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications
• Member of Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec with full exercice rights.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronic engineering or similar program from an accredited institution.
• Minimum of 7 years’ experience in electronic design, with a strong track record of successful product launches on the market.
• Fluency in English and French (working proficiency in both languages). Fluency in French and English is required for this position to communicate with colleagues, customers, and partners located inside and outside of Québec, as well as to understand technical documentation in the field of our industry.
• Be legally authorized to work in Canada without corporate sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to independently design, in accordance with industry best practices, systems based on high-speed communication interfaces (including PCIe Gen3, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, SATA, LVDS) and low-speed interfaces (including UART, I2C, SPI, MDIO).
• Skilled in diagnosing complex electronic issues using standard and advanced measurement tools (including power-up sequences, power trees, mixed-domain circuits, isolated interfaces, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience and autonomy in computer-aided electronic design (Altium Designer, LTspice, PSpice, etc.).
• Good understanding of quality-driven product development tools (DFSS, Design for Six Sigma).
• Familiar with the constraints and nuances involved in bringing an electronic product into mass production, including functional testing, compliance testing, and individual board-level testing (ICT).

Skills:

• Demonstrated analytical expertise and advanced problem-solving capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills, complemented by the ability to convey complex concepts through effective storytelling.
• Proficient in strategic planning and critical thinking.
• Capable of working autonomously and efficiently managing competing priorities within a Scrum or Kanban framework.
