PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Eaton Aerospace in Glenolden, PA has an opening for 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.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

A. Provides engineering solutions that meet customer performance requirements, interface details, reliability, cost and schedule requirements. Works with customers to define explicit non-ambiguous requirements. Provides technical direction for assigned projects from initial concept phase to product delivery.

B. Understands mechanical, electric-mechanical systems and robust design methods. Responsible for concept layout, modeling, detailing, release and change management of drawings in configuration control system. Ensures compliance to quality system requirements.

C. Establishes technical requirements for fabricated and procured components. Selects materials, finishes, processes, dimensions and GD&T to meet the design intent. Works closely with manufacturing and quality engineers, customers, and suppliers. Visits suppliers and customers as required.

D. Performs mechanical design tasks for casted, machined, and plastic/metallic additively manufactured components. Works with manufacturing and external suppliers to optimize design decisions. Designs electromechanical sensor packaging with CAD component modeling, assembly and BOM structure creation, and production drawings.

E. Works with other Eaton teams to perform structural static and dynamic analyses, thermal and fluid dynamics analyses, and other engineering analysis methods to verify compliance.

F. Manages and releases drawings, models and documentation through Eaton's product lifecycle management system.

G. Develops plans for design verification and validation testing for design compliance. Provides support in the testing environment.

H. Implements product improvement and cost reduction initiatives by evaluating engineering change requests.

I. Supports sales and marketing in generation of proposals and responses to customer inquiries.

J. Designs fluid flow products and fixturing with substantiation of design choices based on fluid mechanics concepts.

K. Designs, builds, and tests engineering prototypes for proposals and internal research and development projects.
