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 Vehicle Controls Product Line engineering team and supports verification and validation of rugged operator-control products for on-road and off-road vehicles and commercial mobile equipment. Products include rocker, toggle, push-button, key-lock, and rotary switches; indicators; multiplexed keypads and electronic switch modules; operator-control and human-machine interface products; and vehicle input/output modules. The engineer will translate customer, system, electronics, mechanical, software, environmental, reliability, safety, and regulatory requirements into traceable verification plans, test procedures, test setups, and objective evidence. The role supports the full product-development cycle-from requirements review and design-risk assessment through prototype evaluation, design verification, product validation, production launch, and lifecycle support-and may also support electronics hardware design, schematic review, component selection, circuit calculations, printed circuit board design reviews, bring-up, and debugging under guidance from senior engineers.

"What you'll do:
• Review customer, system, hardware, software, mechanical, safety, environmental, reliability, and regulatory requirements and convert them into clear, measurable verification criteria.
• Develop and maintain requirements traceability, Design Verification Plans and Reports, test plans, test cases, procedures, acceptance criteria, schedules, and compliance evidence for Vehicle Controls products.
• Verify and validate rocker, toggle, push-button, key-lock, and rotary switches; indicators; multiplexed keypads and electronic switch modules; operator-control and human-machine interface products; and vehicle input/output modules.
• Plan and execute functional, electrical, electronic, mechanical, environmental, electromagnetic compatibility, ingress-protection, vibration, shock, thermal, durability, operating-force and travel, tactile-response, communication, and fault-insertion testing, as applicable.
• Design, assemble, commission, and troubleshoot test fixtures, wiring harnesses, loads, instrumentation, data-acquisition systems, and automated or semi-automated test setups.
• Select suitable internal and external laboratories, coordinate test readiness and sample availability, witness testing when required, and drive accurate, on-time completion of planned activities.
• Analyze test data, determine pass/fail status, document observations and conclusions, and communicate coverage, progress, risks, and results to project stakeholders.
• Investigate failures using structured problem-solving methods; reproduce issues, isolate root causes, support corrective actions, and verify their effectiveness.
• Participate in design reviews, requirements reviews, design failure mode and effects analysis, test-readiness reviews, and product-release reviews; provide testability, robustness, and risk-reduction recommendations.
• Support electronics hardware design activities, including schematic and bill-of-material reviews, component selection and derating, circuit calculations and simulation, printed circuit board layout reviews, prototype bring-up, bench debugging, and design documentation.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline; a master's degree is preferred.
0-2 years of relevant experience with a master's degree, or 2-4 years with a bachelor's degree, in product verification and validation, electronics testing, or electronics hardware design. Automotive, off-highway, or vehicle-control product experience is preferred.

Skills:

"• Experience or academic exposure relevant to rugged Vehicle Controls products such as switches, indicators, multiplexed keypads, electronic switch modules, human-machine interfaces, and vehicle input/output modules.
• Working knowledge of verification and validation planning, requirements traceability, test-case development, acceptance criteria, test execution, defect reporting, and technical report preparation.
• Understanding of analog and digital electronics, microcontroller-based circuits, power supplies, communication interfaces, sensors, actuators, protection circuits, and electronic components.
• Ability to read and review electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, printed circuit board layouts, bills of material, component data sheets, mechanical drawings, and interface-control documents.
• Hands-on familiarity with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, signal generators, data-acquisition systems, environmental chambers, and automated test tools.
• Ability to develop and troubleshoot test fixtures, wiring harnesses, loads, instrumentation, and basic automation using tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or equivalent platforms.
• Knowledge of functional, electrical, environmental, vibration, shock, thermal, ingress-protection, durability, electromagnetic compatibility, communication, and fault-insertion testing, as applicable.
• Familiarity with circuit calculations, component selection and derating, simulation, schematic review, printed circuit board design review, prototype bring-up, and bench debugging.
• Working knowledge of design failure mode and effects analysis, root-cause analysis, structured problem solving, corrective-action verification, configuration management, and engineering change control.
• Awareness of automotive product-development and quality practices; familiarity with Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262, electromagnetic compatibility standards, and applicable customer or industry standards is preferred.
• Sound analytical skills and the ability to document assumptions, data, test evidence, risks, and technical conclusions."
"• Clear written and verbal communication, including concise test reports, technical presentations, and timely status updates.
• Collaboration across electronics, systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, laboratory, supplier, customer, and global engineering teams.
• Learning agility and willingness to seek guidance while building technical depth.
• Ownership of assigned deliverables, attention to detail, disciplined follow-through, and effective time management.
• Data-based problem solving, sound judgment, curiosity, and timely escalation of risks.
• Customer focus, integrity, inclusion, and a strong commitment to safety and quality."
