Description
Eaton Corporation has an opening for a Lead Engineer within its Industrial Sector Engineering Center of Excellence (CoE).  The Lead Engineer can be based out of Galesburg, MI, Southfield, MI, or Marshall, MI. 

Job Overview:

The primary purpose of this role is centered around engine simulation analysis, which includes planning, conducting, and managing modeling and simulation projects.  This provides the opportunity to evaluate and optimize the performance of engine components and systems, as well as the integration of engine components and systems into OEM powertrain applications.  Conduct internal combustion engine simulations using 1-D software modeling tools, including GT-Power.  Create, refine, correlate, and run 1-dimensional engine models.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Conduct engine simulation to evaluate and optimize the performance of Eaton engine components and systems, including but not limited to intake boosting devices, valvetrains, and exhaust energy recovery systems.
  • Characterize the effects of Eaton components on powertrain performance, fuel economy, and emissions.  Demonstrate the value potential of Eaton components and systems using engine and powertrain simulation.
  • Size Eaton components, and pulley ratios, to optimize the performance of Eaton components and systems for specific customer engine applications.
  • Propose and evaluate powertrain integration approaches/strategies to optimize performance, efficiency, and emissions.
  • Directly engage and partner with business unit product teams and stakeholders.  Understand and manage product team and stakeholder expectations.  Summarize and deliver analysis results in written reports and summary presentations to stakeholders and sponsors.  Regularly communicate progress and results to project teams and stakeholders.
  • Plan, manage, execute, and lead modeling and simulation projects to achieve specific project objectives within agreed budget and schedules.  Manage, lead, and effectively collaborate with project teams.
  • Generate and win support for new project proposals. 
  • Plan, manage, and lead the IC Engine knowledge area within the Vehicle Group Modeling and Simulation CoE maturity model.
