Co-Op/Internship: Model-Based Design and Control Systems

What You’ll Do

The overall purpose of the position.

Eaton Corporation, Electrical Sector Americas (ES-A) is seeking a Co-Op / Intern with Control Systems Specialization, and preferably with Model-Based Design experience (use of tools like MATLAB/Simulink) to join our organization in Raleigh, NC, and will report to our Technical Director of Model-Based Engineering (MBE).

This is a 1-year position. This role will focus on supporting different Model-Based Design needs across the Electrical Sector, encompassing items like: MBD documentation and process creation and validation, refactor of legacy MBD modules, creation of MBD artifacts as part of the MBD library, test of MBD workflows and development of controls algorithms with Model-Based Design with Auto-Code Generation.

Recent graduates that meet the requirements are encouraged to apply. International students under OPT (Optional Practical Training) can also apply for this role.

Although a full time hire after the internship is not guaranteed, this is a highly visible and impactful role well connected with our ES-A Model Based Engineering Strategy, that can lead to additional opportunities after the 1-year internship commitment.
