Job Description

What you’ll do:

Eaton announced, on January 26, 2026, the intent to separate its Mobility Group (including both the Vehicle and eMobility segments) into an independent, publicly traded company. We expect to complete the separation by the end of the first quarter of 2027. As a standalone company, the Mobility business will be more focused and agile, creating exciting opportunities for employees to grow, innovate, and help shape the future of mobility. The separation reflects strong confidence in the Mobility team and positions the new company as an employer of choice in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

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 spinoff closes, the new company will provide further details to employees concerning compensation and benefits at that time.

The AI Solutions Engineer will design, build, test, and deploy AI enabled tools that improve the efficiency, consistency, and execution of Eaton’s engineering processes.
This role sits within Engineering Operational Excellence (EFE OPEX) and focuses on hands on development of AI solutions embedded directly into engineering workflows, such as engineering planning, NPI / Product Development tasks execution, DFMEA/PFMEA, engineering knowledge access, and reporting.
The role works closely with EFE Digital and IT to implement AI solutions using Eaton approved platforms and standards. The primary accountability is delivery and adoption of working AI tools that engineers use in their day to day work. This role does not own enterprise AI strategy or platform governance.
