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.

Design, develop, and validate mechanical and electromechanical components for Eaton Breaktor products, with responsibility for operating mechanisms, contact carrier assemblies, structural components, and interfaces between actuation and protection elements. Create complex 3D CAD models and detailed engineering drawings using Siemens NX / Creo, applying GD&T to ensure functional robustness, dimensional control, and manufacturability.

Integrate knowledge of manufacturing processes such as molding, stamping, machining, and assembly to optimize designs for cost, quality, and scalability. Lead and support prototype builds, functional and endurance validation, and teardown analysis, ensuring product performance aligns with requirements and applicable protection product standards.

Work closely with systems, electrical, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and project management teams through Eaton's product development processes to ensure efficient execution and design maturity. While the primary responsibility is on Breaktor, the role contributes to component reuse, platform alignment, and design practices applicable to other protection devices within the protection products portfolio, applying DFSS and quality tools to drive robust and reliable designs.

Job Responsibilites

Lead the mechanical and electromechanical design and development of Breaktor components, including operating mechanisms, contact carrier systems, structural parts, and interfaces between actuation and protection elements, ensuring alignment with technical, cost, and portfolio requirements.

Demonstrate hands‑on ownership of component‑level design, development, and validation for protection products, from concept generation through detailed design, prototype build, testing, and release to production.

Perform analytical design calculations and apply advanced understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack‑up analysis, and electromechanical design principles to ensure functional reliability, durability, and manufacturability of Breaktor components.

Integrate knowledge of manufacturing processes such as plastic injection molding, stamping, machining, and assembly to deliver robust, cost‑effective component designs suitable for series production and platform reuse.

Support and lead prototype builds, functional testing, endurance validation, and teardown analysis, resolving design issues through structured root cause analysis and design improvements.

Collaborate with systems, electrical, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and project management teams to translate product and application requirements into clear engineering specifications and execution plans.

While Breaktor remains the primary focus, contribute to component reuse, design harmonization, and best practices applicable across other protection devices within the protection products portfolio.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent discipline (required).

Master's degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Robotics Engineering is preferred and considered an advantage for component‑level ownership.

8+ years with BE/BS & 6+ years expirence with ME / MS

Skills

Strong background in engineering design, analysis, R&D, and application engineering for mechanical and electromechanical products.

Solid knowledge of electro‑mechanical product design, mechanism development, and component‑level design evaluation criteria.

Hands‑on experience with Design for Manufacturing, DFMEA, and DVPR to ensure robust and reliable designs.

Experience working extensively with CAD tools, supported by exposure to engineering analysis (FEA / CFD) and PLM systems such as

ENOVIA or equivalent.

Excellent English communication skills, both oral and written, with the ability to present technical concepts clearly and confidently.

Strong team player with effective interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust across functions.

Experience in handling direct and indirect project leadership responsibilities, driving alignment and execution.

Proven ability to work and collaborate with global, cross‑functional, and cross‑cultural teams, including interaction with internal stakeholders, customers, and suppliers.
