What You’ll Do

"The Centre for Intelligent Power located at Eaton India’s Innovation Centre in Pune and Eaton’s global headquarters in Dublin, applies data science to transform all aspects of our company. We’re working on solving the technical challenges of today’s digital world, while developing ground-breaking technology that’s going to power the next generation of futuristic products and services. We’re continuing to expand our organization and we are excited to announce that we are recruiting a Senior Data Scientist to join our team. The Senior Data Scientist will majorly collaborate with Eaton's Mobility product group to develop new data-science based product features. The features will primarily address emergent use cases in the mobility and automotive domains. The successful candidate will be expected to analyse requirements to drive the research and development of Machine Learning techniques to production of the features and monitoring after. In addition, the candidate will be expected to understand and consider system constraints – especially constraints related to implementing algorithms on resource-constrained platforms. This position will be part of the planned Mobility Spin-off."

• Collaborate with Eaton's mobility business units to identify and evaluate opportunities for leveraging data science, particularly for enhancing future product features.
