Job details

Job Description The Engineering Technical Program Manager (TPM) will drive complex, cross-functional engineering initiatives from conception to deployment, managing timelines, mitigating risks, and ensuring technical scalability. The TPM will evaluate complex systems and identify, quantify, and mitigate potential design, manufacturing or project execution failures. Conduct analysis to ensure designs meets technical, manufacturability and reliability objectives and compliance to industry standards using methods such as FTA, FMEA, and probabilistic risk assessments. Engagement will be for near term and future R&D efforts. Key responsibilities include: * Perform qualitative and quantitative risk analyses, including Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) * Ensure engineering designs comply with industry regulations, international safety standards (e.g., ISO, IEC), and corporate governance policies * Develop and recommend actionable risk mitigation strategies, design modifications, or operational controls to minimize identified hazards * Collaborate with testing and validation teams to verify that risk controls are effective and appropriately integrated into the final design * Author comprehensive risk management plans and analytical reports for executive stakeholders and external customers * Serve as the primary technical advisor, bridging the gap between design engineers, project managers, and manufacturing * Mentor engineers, technicians, and production staff on risk analysis best practices. Basic (required) Qualifications: * Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or Reliability Engineering (Master's or Ph.D. preferred). * 5+ years of hands-on experience in engineering design, systems safety, or reliability analysis within highly regulated industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, nuclear, or medical devices) * Deep proficiency in probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), Monte Carlo simulations, and reliability modeling software (e.g., ReliaSoft, Item ToolKit, or PTC Windchill). * 5+ years analyzing and interpreting complex engineering data and statistical risks into clear, non-technical language for strategic decision-making * Eaton will not consider applicants for employment immigration sponsorship or support for this position.
