•Design Engineer will focus on hydraulic system integration on Vibratory Soil Compactors (SCOM).
•While focused on hydraulics, you will also interact with other systems on the machine including structures, powertrain, engine, and electrical.
• You will be part of a global design team with partners in Brazil, China, and India.
• We have five active SCOM New Product Introduction (NPI) projects underway with many more planned in the future.
• Placement of components like pumps, motors, valves in the machine and routing hoses to connect components
• Complete drawing packages and coordinate the release of hydraulic system drawings
• Participate in prototype machine builds to find and fix hydraulic system issues prior to production
•Collaborate with all systems on the design team and cross functional business partners to ensure hydraulic system designs meet quality, velocity, and cost targets
Disqualifiers/Red Flags/Overqualifications:
• The starting point for this role is modeling, integration, and releasing work supporting
an experienced hydraulic system lead.
• Those looking to design their own hydraulic circuits/schematics, conduct advanced hydraulic system calculations/simulations, and do their own component selection would likely be overqualified for this position to start.
• Advancement to these skills is possible but not needed at this time.
Education:
• Bachelors Degree in computer science, software engineering
Qualifications:
• 8-10 years of experience is required
• Hands-on experience with agricultural, automotive, or construction equipment
• Working with a global team across time zones requires precise, clear communication on
design interfaces.
• Verbal and written communications are important when multiple systems occupy the same space claim, and teams need to navigate solutions that work for all business partners
Top Skills:
•Strong component design, 3d modeling, and hydraulic system integration skills. The hydraulic system interfaces with many systems on the machine. Space constraints require unique solutions to produce thoughtful designs that meet design for manufacturing requirements and challenging cost targets.
• Geometric dimension and tolerance training and application
• Ability to identify and clarify design tradeoffs across multiple solutions to select the best design through your knowledge of hydraulic components and systems.
