ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

A. Champion product redesign projects, which could involve quality & yield improvements, performance enhancements, cost out, customer-driven product modifications, and product sustaining issues
B. Provide senior level technical engineering support for products to marketing department, manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, design engineering, suppliers (material and tooling), and end customers
C. The incumbent will identify product opportunities and will be assigned projects that will require independent/non-directed work, including identifying and improving product designs with marginal/inconsistent product performance
D. Works closely with Quality Assurance to ensure all product redesigns meet agency and customer, and test requirements.
E. Employs rigorous problem solving techniques, determining root cause and developing appropriate permanent corrective actions to develop and improve design and production
solutions.
F. Champion the evaluation of quality related performance issues of products. Test, verify, evaluate, and resolve issues in a timely manner to improve the product. Create reports to
summarize the findings, resolution, and recommended actions.
G. Utilizes quality management system and six sigma tools, such as failure mode and effects analysis, control plans, design of experiments, and statistical analysis in developing robust engineering solutions.

I. Establishes and coordinates the planning and execution of test sequences to verify and validate designs and processes for the product.

J. Independently evaluates, selects and applies standard engineering techniques,procedures and criteria to complete new product and/or cost reduction projects.
K. Translates customer wants/needs into feasible product design concepts, collaborating with the marketing, manufacturing, sales, and quality teams to develop, validate and launch products into the market.

L. Plans and drives projects to conclusion meeting performance and cost objectives in a timely fashion, preparing print, specification, and analysis packages for final approval by group supervisor.

M. Indirectly manages a multi-disciplinary project team, which is responsible for the development of new customized products. Responsible for planning, monitoring and controlling cost and schedule of project. Executes project planned activities as well as adjusting to unplanned circumstances. Project team will typically include members from engineering, product management/marketing, quality, manufacturing engineering, plant operations, and sales.

N. Selects materials and manufacturing processes for new products, working with sourcing, quality, suppliers, and manufacturing team to ensure new products can be economically manufactured, while supporting product goal alignment with Eaton's operational priorities of safety, quality, delivery, cost and inventory.

O. Coordinates with plant production team to execute production trial runs to create product prototypes required for customer evaluations, product verification testing, and process validation.

P. Generate and review ECN's for product design issues and NPI

Q. Reports and presents project progress throughout the lifecycle of the project to all levels
of the organization.
