Lead Engineer -Wireless Radio Frequency

What you'll do:

Eaton announced, on January 26, 2026, the intent to separate its Mobility Group (including both the Vehicle and eMobility segments) into an independent, publicly traded company. We expect to complete the separation by the end of the first quarter of 2027. As a standalone company, the Mobility business will be more focused and agile, creating exciting opportunities for employees to grow, innovate, and help shape the future of mobility. The separation reflects strong confidence in the Mobility team and positions the new company as an employer of choice in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry. 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 spinoff closes, the new company will provide further details to employees concerning compensation and benefits at that time.

Eaton's eMobility segment is currently seeking a dynamic, eager-to-learn Radio Frequency Engineer to join the Mobile Wireless team and contribute to our fast-growing global business. Mobile Wireless is part of LVPC business within eMobility, a strategically important segment of Eaton. This position plays a critical role in developing the future direction of Eaton's wireless technologies.The Lead RF Design Engineer will be responsible for developing a range of new wireless products. This new suite of products will extend Eaton's already successful wireless solutions and bring an unmatched level of industrial enterprise connectivity.
