Associate Engineer-Digital Manufacturing (Polymer)

What you'll do:

The successful candidate will be part of a EIIC team working on development and analysis of polymer and composite material simulations to reduce weight and cost, while maintaining performance and durability. The incumbet is expected to improve ""on-time delivery performance"" for our customers by ensuring first time right manufacturing of Eaton products by partnering with Manufacturing and supply chain teams to suggest tooling improvements. The incumbent needs to develop culture of "Manufacturing analysis first" by collaborating with Product Design leaders and teams from various businesses across Eaton. "
"• Demonstrate technical leadership in the area of polymer and composite processing and its analysis through Mold flow (Injection molding) simulations.
• Leads in identifying, evaluating, and recommending combined material, design, and manufacturing processes that meet the application requirements.
• Perform hands-on design, analysis, and experimental work as needed to demonstrate technical feasibility.
• Interacts with global and local team members, suppliers, and business groups to accomplish project objectives.
• Clearly communicates project status to management both verbally and in writing.
• The candidate should be self-motivated and be able to carry out day to day technical work with minimal guidance.
• The candidate should have a global mindset and should be able to coordinate and collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams and multi-regional teams."
