## What you’ll do: Eaton’s Electrical Sector is currently seeking 4 Manufacturing Engineer Interns to join our team. This position is based at our Richmond VA facility. Position Overview: The Manufacturing Engineer Intern will be responsible for one of two manufacturing engineering projects dedicated to work instructions or in-process inspections and test data management, in addition to other duties as assigned.

This documentation is critical for ensuring the plant is producing a consistent product that conform to all applicable safety, quality, and statutory regulations. The scope of this project will be to identify all tasks that are missing manufacturing documentation, work with operations and engineering to create new documentation packages, then deploy the information to the shop floor. Richmond is also investigating to use of augmented reality tools for training applications, specifically the Microsoft Holo Lense 2. The project leader will review the capabilities of the Holo Lense and prepare a report for how this technology can be used at Richmond. In-process Inspections and Test Data Management o The Richmond plants support data center customers who have very high standards for product quality. The demands of these customers have created the need for Richmond to improve its in-process quality inspections. Additionally, Richmond lacks a standardized tool for capturing in-process quality inspection and final test data. Eaton has an application for test data management called PCaT however implementation of this software is complex and will require coordination with quality, engineering, and IT. The scope of this project will include the creation of new in-process inspections to support data center customers as well as the implementation of the Eaton test data management system (PCaT). • Other duties as assigned When we embrace the different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds that make each of us unique, we — as individuals and as a company — are stronger. ## Qualifications: Required (Basic) Qualifications: • Currently enrolled in an engineering discipline at an accredited institution (college or university). • Minimum cumulative 2.8 GPA or higher. • Relocation is not provided for this role, the candidate must be located within 50 miles of Richmond, VA. • Must be able to work in the United States without corporate sponsorship now and within the future.
