Job Details
What You'll Own / What Makes Someone Successful
This role is focused on designing hydraulic cartridge valves used in fluid power systems. The ideal candidate has direct valve design experience and understands how hydraulic components perform in real-world applications. This is not a general mechanical design role-they need someone who has specifically worked on hydraulic valves and can contribute quickly.
Core Responsibilities
Design hydraulic cartridge valves including solenoid, pressure control, directional, and proportional valves
Create detailed component drawings, assembly drawings, hydraulic schematics, and manufacturing documentation
Design custom components and assemblies based on customer requirements
Support prototype builds and lab validation testing
Develop validation plans and end-of-line production testing procedures
Troubleshoot design issues tied to performance, manufacturability, or quality concerns
Partner with manufacturing to improve production efficiency and design reliability
Work with outside vendors on manufacturability and component optimization
Maintain engineering documentation and revision control
Required Background
Must have direct hydraulic valve design experience (cartridge valves strongly preferred)
Experience designing components such as pressure valves, directional valves, proportional valves, solenoid valves, manifolds, or related hydraulic products
Strong understanding of hydraulic schematics, valve functions, flow paths, pressure control, and fluid power principles
CAD experience (SolidWorks preferred)
Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis ability
Understanding of GD&T, drafting standards, and manufacturing documentation
Experience supporting testing, validation, and prototype development
Education
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering strongly preferred
Candidates without a degree must bring significant directly related hydraulic valve design experience
