Electrical Design Engineer

Eaton Corporation•Bethel, CT

19d•$71,000 - $105,000•Onsite

About The Position

Eaton’s IS AER FED division is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer based in Bethel, Connecticut. The position focuses on designing, developing, integrating, and validating pressure transducers, analog sensing systems, and aerospace electronic hardware. The engineer performs electrical design work for sustaining products and new product development, especially sensor electronics, signal-conditioning circuits, analog measurement systems, and electromechanical sensor integration. The role translates customer requirements into electronic designs that meet aerospace standards for accuracy, reliability, environmental performance, and manufacturability. The position develops expertise in pressure, temperature, and MEMS-based sensor technologies. Design work may include schematic capture, PCB design oversight, circuit simulation, sensor characterization, tolerance analysis, design verification, qualification testing, and configuration control throughout the product lifecycle. The engineer collaborates with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and customer engineering teams to move products from concept through production using Eaton’s Phase-Gate product development process. Travel may be required up to 10%.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
Must meet the stated U.S. person definition for access to export-controlled information.
Must currently reside within 50 miles of the Bethel, Connecticut facility; active-duty military service member candidates are exempt from this geographic limitation.
Effective communication with customers, suppliers, and internal peers.
Strong organization and attention to detail when preparing design approvals.
Ability to develop conclusions from analyses and apply results to project-team activities.
Ability to learn aerospace drawings, engineering analyses, and manufacturing processes.
Up to 10% travel.

Nice To Haves

Aerospace, automotive, or electronics industry experience.
Experience with MEMS sensor integration, pressure sensing, or the aerospace industry.
Experience in the defense industry.
1–3 years of electrical or electromechanical design experience, including CAD modeling, schematic layouts, electronic circuit simulation, and drawing creation.
Experience in PCB design, component assessment, and design for manufacturability.
Experience with pressure, temperature, or other sensor types.
Understanding of qualification testing requirements, particularly RTCA DO-160, RTCA DO-254, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461.

Responsibilities

Provide engineering solutions that meet customer performance, interface, reliability, cost, and schedule requirements; work with customers to define explicit requirements and provide technical direction from concept through product delivery.
Apply knowledge of electromechanical systems and robust design methods; handle concept layout, modeling, detailing, drawing release, and change management in the configuration control system while ensuring quality-system compliance.
Select components based on accuracy, reliability, environmental conditions, lifecycle, and cost requirements.
Work directly with customers to discuss drawings, engineering reports, and manufacturing processes.
Review customer specifications and drawings and develop compliance matrices against requirements.
Manage and release drawings, models, and documentation through Eaton’s product lifecycle management system.
Develop design verification and validation test plans and support testing.
Implement product-improvement and cost-reduction initiatives by evaluating engineering change requests.
Investigate failures involving field, production, and development or certification hardware.
Support sales and marketing with proposals and responses to customer inquiries.
Design, build, and test engineering prototypes for proposals and internal research and development projects.
