What Youll Be Doing

Hydraulic Engineers are responsible for designing analyzing and implementing hydraulic systems and powered motion solutions for a variety of industrial machinery. This role includes developing hydraulic schematics selecting and specifying components creating and maintaining 3D models and manufacturing drawings and documenting hydraulic designs of normal to increasing complexity. Work is performed with moderate to light supervision.

• Must be comfortable working with production team members to implement their designs
• Structural/ Support Structures
  • Design weldments and sub-structures to support hydraulic systems and components
  • Apply proven structural and manufacturing principles with consideration for cost schedule and manufacturability
  • Create and maintain manufacturing drawings for weldments and machined components
  • Demonstrate a working understanding of machining processes and tolerancing requirements
  • Perform basic FEA setup and interpret results to validate designs
  • Generate bills of material (BOMs) and upload to the ERP system

• Hydraulic
  • Design simple to increasingly complex hydraulic circuits using current fluid power principles
  • Create hydraulic/pneumatic schematics for these circuits and be able to implement them into the mechanical design of the machine.
  • Select appropriate pumps fittings hoses valve bodies etc. based on application and availability
  • Generate bill of material (BOM) and upload to ERP system
• GD&T
  • Understand different dimensioning and tolerancing methods on prints
  • Interpret tolerance stack-ups and effects
  • Understand and minimize cost implications of tolerance and machining methods
• Design Review
  • Proof designs created by less experienced engineers or in peer review
  • Receive and incorporate feedback in designs based on peer review
  • Participate in design review meetings drill downs etc.
