About The Position

Eaton's IS AER FED division is currently seeking a Senior Design Engineer for lubrication system condition monitoring and fluid accessories product design and evaluation. The primary function of the position is design work and project engineering support for both sustaining products and new product development. Product designs are evaluated with layouts, modeling, drawing creation using CAD (CATIA V5, Creo, AutoCAD) and the product release configuration control processes (Enovia). The design engineering position will primarily focus on product design layout, modeling, and drawing creation for machining, casting, assembly, dimensional tolerance, marking, and GD&T per industrial standards. Design decisions will be substantiated with appropriate analysis, trade studies, and legacy product similarities. Phase-Gate product development strategies are utilized for the concept development, design, validation, production, and delivery stages of new product implementation. They will support product design activities of mechanical and electrical product lines / focus areas by providing sustaining product support, pursuing alternative design approaches and processes when needed, while taking market trends and best practices into account.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Electrical / Mechanical / Aerospace)
Minimum five years of demonstrated experience in mechanical design, CAD modeling, drawing creation, and GD&T.
Candidate will not need sponsorship now or in the future.
This position requires use of information or access to hardware which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
