Design Engineer

Description:

At Eaton, we believe that power, whether it’s electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical power - is a fundamental part of people’s lives. Technology, transportation, energy, and infrastructure—these are things the world relies on every day. That’s why we are dedicated to helping our customers across the world find new ways to manage power more efficiently, safely, and sustainably. And we’re committed to improving people’s lives, the communities where we live and work, and the planet our future generations will depend on. Because that’s what really matters–and we’re here to make sure it works.

While our vision is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services, our culture and what we value can be represented in six essential leadership attributes expected of all Eaton employees.

• We’re accountable - we seek responsibility and take ownership. We do what we say.
• We’re efficient - we value speed and simplicity.
• We’re transparent - we say what we think. We make it okay to disagree.
• We learn – we are curious, adaptable, and willing to teach what we know.

The Design Co-op Student will assist design engineers by performing assignments related to the design and testing of aerospace and military vehicle hydraulic components and systems. The assignments will include cross-functional interaction with manufacturing, quality, and procurement.
