He graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Industrial Design. Siebenaler joined the Transformers team in 2002, and his first design was Armada <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Laserbeak_%28Armada%29" title="Laserbeak (Armada)">Laserbeak</a>. Recently, Siebenaler was largely responsible for developing the new <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Animated" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformers Animated">Transformers Animated</a> series, serving as its lead designer.

His first Transformer was <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Skywarp_%28G1%29" title="Skywarp (G1)">Skywarp</a>.

Eric did not attend <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/BotCon_2008" title="BotCon 2008">BotCon 2008</a> personally as he was in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a> on a working holiday. However, Hasbro provided a life-size cardboard cut out of Eric that fans could write messages on, which Hasbro would then mail to him. The non-cardboard Eric briefly appeared on the Australian children's program Toasted TV on August 8, 2008, to talk about designing Animated toys. He also appeared on Ten's TTN and men's magazine FHM for similar interviews.

On November 8 and 9, Eric returned to Australia as part of a promotion by Hasbro Australia, the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cartoon_Network" title="Cartoon Network">Cartoon Network</a> Australia and K-Mart Australia. He drew Transformers designs by children who had won a Cartoon Network competition.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
