Full job description
Over the past decade, Eaton has consistently maintained a diversified and cautious approach to the evolution of the automotive market. The growth of the eMobility division has not slowed Eaton’s activities in internal combustion engines; on the contrary, the company has continued to invest in this area and expand its technical expertise.
More recently, following the revision of the Fit for 55 package, which updated the regulations that would have effectively led to a ban on the sale of internal combustion engines in Europe, together with the global slowdown in BEV growth, Eaton is now strongly positioned to support OEMs seeking a reliable and highly competent partner for the development of internal combustion engines. This applies both to applications where the engine remains the sole source of mechanical power and to hybrid powertrains.
Eaton is receiving an increasing number of requests from OEMs to develop solutions capable of meeting stringent emissions requirements, such as Euro 7 and Stage VI, while also reducing CO₂ emissions. In this context, Product Engineering for Valves and Valve Actuation, a global function within Eaton, plays a key role in supporting these initiatives. The team works in close cooperation with eight manufacturing plants and four technical centers located around the world.
We are looking for a Senior Application Engineer to join Eaton's global Product Engineering for Valves and Valve Actuation team.

As a Senior Product Development Engineer – Valvetrain, you will join Valves Product Engineering team with challenging timelines and tough technical requirements. Importantly, you will:
be part of a multi-cultural and cross-functional team
create designs, run analysis and perform testing activities on Valvetrain components
drive and complete project activities from prototype procurement and testing to high-volume industrialization
be responsible for the functionality, durability and manufacturability of the Valvetrain components
be a reference point for Eaton suppliers during the components development
work closely with key OEMs Engineering, mainly located in Germany and Austria, supporting the Eaton worldwide growth
track activities and report progress to the Engineering Manager and Chief Engineer
Understand the Customer Statement of Requirements and translate it into a Compliance Matrix to drive the project development
Complete the product validation plan, in line with the project phase
Have good modelling and design skills; experience with Creo/Pro-Mechanism, GT-Power and Ansys is desirable but not mandatory
Have good knowledge of analytical tools
Have good knowledge of Design For Six Sigma tools, such as DFMEA, DVP&R and design scorecards
Be able to read technical drawings and define tolerances
Be able to support prototype production managing the Prototype Control Plan
Prepare engineering reports
Summarize and present activity results to Eaton management and to the customer’s engineering counterpart
Work in a team and contribute to system design definition and validation
Be flexible in managing other products from Eaton’s broad portfolio, such as eMobility products, mainly for German and Austrian Customers
Multicultural teamwork, self-directed approach, strong reporting skills, problem-solving mindset, fluent English, willingness to travel and meet Customers in person
We offer
Being part of a company that has been in business for more than 100 years, is well known in the industry, and has a major impact on the energy industry.

Eaton announced, on June 11, 2026, the intent to combine its Mobility Group (including both the Vehicle and eMobility segments) with a new company. We expect to complete this process by the end of the first half of 2027. 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 transaction closes, the new company will provide further details to employees concerning compensation and benefits at that time.
