Position Summary
The hydraulic engineer is part of the team responsible for developing the design and launching the production of flow control and compact hydraulic systems: in particular, fluid power systems consisting of control units or power units, that can be equipped with custom manifolds, CETOP valves, cartridge valves and bankable valves.
He/she also carry out numerical simulation (0D fluid dynamic, CFD, FEM) to verify the design.
He/she must support the operations department in troubleshooting and assist in the maintenance of products in production, as well as support sales in identifying and developing the most appropriate solution based on the end customer’s request.
He/she will be part of the engineering team that is responsible for the drawing check/approving and for the DFMEA.
In addition, he/she joins and supports an international team dedicated to the hydraulic development of complex electro-hydraulic mechanical systems (e.g., hydraulic transmission drive, hydraulic control on axles, etc.).
Main Responsibilities
• Analysis the input/customer specifications.
• Estimate the engineering design and testing (ED&T) costs of a project.
• Carry out technical feasibility studies and the final design of the units paying attention to the specifications and principles of design for costing, manufacturing and assembly.
• Perform numerical verification (0D, CFD, FEM) of the design
• Follow the preparation of the prototypes connected to their projects and define their validation.
• Evaluate the final product as a whole with reference to performance, quality and safety aspects.
• Follow the resolution of claims from the field and internal using the 8D method.
• Guarantee the correct execution and management of the documentation both for the production and for the customer.
• Identify and propose solutions to solve problems.
• Support the operation during the resolution of the issue related to engineering that rise in the day by day work
• Ability to generate innovative ideas to meet the market and OEM’s requirements
• Prepare technical reports pertaining to the assigned project, identify and help manage risks and opportunities for the project.
