Senior Software & Connectivity Support Engineer (Industrial / Electrical Systems)

This is not a call-centre support role and not a pure software development position.

We are looking for a senior technical support engineer who acts as the first escalation point for complex software and connectivity issues within Eaton's electrical and energy-management portfolio.
In this role, you will support customers, partners, and internal teams by troubleshooting non-standard software and networking issues, working closely with R&D, product management, and L3 engineering teams, and contributing to process improvement, knowledge sharing, and customer satisfaction initiatives.

The position combines advanced technical troubleshooting, customer-facing communication, and internal technical leadership in an industrial environment.

What you'll do:

• Act as first escalation point for non-standard software and connectivity issues

• Diagnose and resolve complex customer cases in collaboration with L3 engineers, R&D, and Product Management

• Provide advanced technical support via phone, email, and web-based channels

• Support trial licence management and deployment for partners and customers

• Deliver technical training to partners, customers, and internal teams (remote and onsite)

• Contribute to process improvements, documentation, and knowledge-base development

• Participate in continuous improvement (CI) initiatives and best-practice sharing

• Support technical reporting and KPI tracking at team level

• Act as a trusted technical expert for software and connectivity topics in the electrical portfolio

Qualifications and skills:

• Core technical skills:

  • Software troubleshooting (industrial applications)

  • Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, industrial communication protocols)

  • Electrical products & energy-management systems

  • Software-hardware interaction

  • Technical documentation

• Professional skills:

  • Customer-facing technical communication

  • Structured problem-solving

  • Cross-functional collaboration

  • Training & knowledge transfer

  • Continuous improvement mindset

• Languages:

  • Fluent Business English (mandatory)

  • French (nice to have)

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation and benefits package

• Flexible working solutions

• Excellent working environment - safety and ethics are important for us

• Culture & Values - we are more than the products we invent and produce - the way we do business is just as important. At Eaton, our values and culture define who we are - both individually and as an organization - and direct our activities every day

• Learning & Development - we invest in our employees for the long term - not just with salary and benefits, but with ongoing learning and development opportunities, made available through Eaton University
