EPLAN Design/Automation Engineer - Engineering

What you’ll do:

EPLAN Engineering & Macro Development
• Create and maintain engineering drawings using EPLAN Electric P8 and Pro Panel using operational technical engineering excellence frameworks.
• Develop and maintain standardized macros (electrical schematics and layout design) to support repeatability and reuse.
• Ensure macros are structured, documented, and compliant with Eaton engineering standards.
Support to EEC / ECC Programmer
• Act as a key engineering contributor to EEC (Eplan Engineering Configuration) development by by using technical engineering skillset..
    o Providing validated engineering logic, rules, and constraints.
    o Supporting the definition and validation of construction kits, options, variants, and dependencies using innovative engineering solutions to address complex challenges.

    o Ensuring engineering data and macros are suitable for rule based automation.
• Collaborate closely with the EEC Developer to test, validate, and continuously improve automated engineering outputs.
• Participate in correction loops to resolve issues related to data quality, macro behavior, or configuration logic.
Cross Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with Sales, Manufacturing, Product Management, and Digital Engineering teams to ensure feasibility and consistency.
• Support the alignment between engineering, manufacturing constraints, and digital workflows.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, lead times, and quality metrics.
• Work closely with stake holders (e.g. cable machine production team) to integrate wiring machines with Eplan. 
Digitalization & Continuous Improvement
• Actively support the implementation and adoption of Bidmanager, EPLAN and EEC within the engineering workflow.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual engineering effort through standardization and automation.
• Contribute to improving engineering productivity, error rate reduction, and customer satisfaction.  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrotechnics, or equivalent technical education.
• 4+ years of experience in planning and engineering of customized pre wired distribution boards.
