About The Position

The objective of this program is to develop your technical skills in engineering through a practical experience and assist in your personal development of leadership competencies through training, networking and coaching. During the program you will provide engineering services to support the operations of our dynamic and exciting Aerospace business through an assignment in one of the following departments, based upon your interest and business need: New Program Development, Product Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering. New Program Development In this assignment you will be responsible for assisting in the launch of new Aerospace programs (products) utilizing ProLaunch, Eaton’s standard approach to new product and program development. This includes the design, development, implementation, and improvement of safe and environmentally responsible manufacturing processes; managing new program metrics and facilitating efforts to drive continual improvement with new program launches; participating on cross-functional integrated ProLaunch teams; and designing equipment, gauging, and tooling utilizing CATIA solid modeling software and other engineering analysis and design tools. You may lead and/or participate in Rapid Improvement Events (RIEs), drive sustainment, and coordinate structured closure on follow-up activities. Manufacturing Engineering In this assignment you will be responsible for our manufacturing processes including equipment specification, tooling design, visual controls, process standardization, gauging, and poka-yokes. You may develop production cell standard work by understanding customer demand, identifying the process capacity/bottlenecks, determining the proper staffing, and defining the activities of each associate working in the cell. You will collect and analyze manufacturing data and implement process improvements that advance safety, product quality, and gross utilization. Additionally, you will utilize Lean tools to eliminate waste driving customer satisfaction, cost reduction, decreased inventory, and improved productivity. You may lead and/or participate in Rapid Improvement Events (RIEs), drive sustainment, and coordinate structured closure on follow-up activities. You will support production as a member of the high-performance work team (HPWT) by dispositioning discrepant material (DMRs), fielding operator process questions, and problem-solving systemic defects for root cause determination and corrective actions. All assignments may have additional responsibilities as assigned. Our co-op program provides you with great exposure to Eaton Aerospace Group operations and would prepare you for a potential opportunity to join an engineering or operations role within Eaton upon graduation.
