Senior Engineer-Power Electronics.Hardware

What you’ll do:

Eaton announced, on June 11, 20206, the intent to combine its Mobility Group (including both the Vehicle and eMobility segments) with a new company. We expect to complete this process by the end of the first half of 2027. The compensation and benefits that will initially be offered for this position are based on Eaton's plans, programs and practices. If you are offered and accept this position and are actively employed by the Mobility Group when the transaction closes, the new company will provide further details to employees concerning compensation and benefits at that time.

This position is part of the LVPC Product Engineering team and supports Vehicle Control products used in commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural equipment, specialty vehicles, and industrial mobile-equipment applications. The Senior Engineer develops electronics hardware and embedded-control solutions for multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, operator-control modules, and vehicle I/O products. The incumbent translates customer requirements into robust product designs, participates in design reviews and verification, supports production launch and field-issue resolution, and works with global cross-functional teams to achieve quality, cost, schedule, reliability, functional-safety, and customer requirements.

"What you’ll do:

• Develop electronics and embedded-control solutions for Vehicle Control products, including multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, operator-control modules, and vehicle I/O modules.
• Design and review analog and digital circuits, microcontroller-based designs, power supplies, signal conditioning, communication interfaces, schematics, PCB layouts, component selection, and design-for-manufacturing/test.
• Support hardware-software integration for CAN, SAE J1939, LIN, diagnostics, bootloaders, calibration, fault handling, and HMI features.
• Translate customer needs and vehicle use cases into product requirements, interfaces, specifications, traceability, and verification plans.
• Deliver assigned technical work from concept and prototyping through verification, qualification, production launch, and lifecycle support.
• Participate in design reviews and resolve design, manufacturing, supplier, warranty, and field issues using structured problem-solving methods.
• Ensure designs meet performance, EMC/EMI, environmental, reliability, functional-safety, cybersecurity, cost, and schedule requirements.
• Evaluate design alternatives and contribute to design reuse, component standardization, VAVE, obsolescence mitigation, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with global product teams, application engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, suppliers, and OEM customers.
• Share technical knowledge and support the development of junior engineers."

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.

Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years or master’s degree with 3+ years of experience in automotive, commercial-vehicle, off-highway, industrial-control, or Tier-1 electronics product development.

Skills:

"

• Experience in Vehicle Control products such as multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, operator-control modules, HMI products, or vehicle I/O modules.

• Strong knowledge of embedded electronic product design, including analog and digital circuits, microcontrollers, power supplies, communication interfaces, schematics, PCB reviews, component engineering, EMC, reliability, testing, and manufacturing.
• Hardware-software integration knowledge covering real-time control, diagnostics, bootloaders, failure handling, configuration management, and debugging.
• Proficiency with CAN, SAE J1939, and LIN; exposure to UDS or vehicle Ethernet is advantageous.
• Experience in new product development from requirements and architecture through design, verification, qualification, launch, and lifecycle support.
• Working knowledge of systems-engineering practices including requirements, interfaces, trade studies, FMEA, verification, traceability, and product-level validation.
• Knowledge of ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity, Automotive SPICE, EMC/EMI, and environmental qualification requirements.
• Structured problem-solving experience using 8D, FRACAS, fault-tree analysis, DFMEA/PFMEA, and statistical methods.
• Ability to work effectively with global cross-functional engineering teams."

"

• Sound engineering judgment, ownership, and an analysis-first mindset.

• Ability to collaborate across functions and support junior engineers.
• Clear written and verbal communication with customers, management, and global stakeholders.
• Strong customer focus, teamwork, initiative, and results orientation.
• Ability to manage priorities and deliver quality results to cost and schedule commitments."
