Hydraulic System Design Engineer

experienced Hydraulic System Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design the full hydraulic architecture including

  pump selection, valve blocks, cylinders, hoses, fittings, reservoirs, cooling, and filtration systems

  .
• Develop

  hydraulic schematics, circuit diagrams, and detailed BOM

  .
• Perform accurate engineering

  calculations for flow rate, pressure, actuator sizing, hydraulic motor selection, heat dissipation, and system efficiency

  .
• Integrate hydraulic systems with

  mechanical linkages, actuators, booms, arms, attachments, and tracked drive functions

  .
• Recommend

  commercially available hydraulic components

  suitable for industrial use.
• Collaborate with

  mechanical CAD and electronics/controls teams

  to ensure seamless system integration.
• Provide

  guidance on manufacturability, assembly, maintenance, and serviceability

  of the hydraulic system.
• Support prototype testing and troubleshooting (remotely, where applicable).

Requirements

Proven experience designing hydraulic systems for:

• Construction equipment (e.g., mini excavators, skid-steer loaders, drilling rigs, demolition machines)
• Industrial or heavy-duty machinery
• Remote-controlled, robotic, or tracked/compact industrial platforms

Technical Expertise:

• Ability to create

  detailed hydraulic schematics, circuit diagrams, and simulation-ready circuits

  .
• Strong understanding of

  pumps (gear/piston), proportional valves, control valves, servo valves, and hydraulic motors

  .
• Knowledge of

  load calculations, relief settings, spool configurations, flow balancing, pressure control, and component sizing

  .
• Experience with

  CAD tools (SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar) for hydraulic routing and integration

  .
• Ability to work independently and deliver

  well-documented, production-ready designs

  .

Nice to Have

• Experience with

  electro-hydraulic or remote-controlled systems

  .
• Knowledge of

  counterbalance valves, safety valves, load-holding systems, and fail-safe controls

  .
• Experience designing

  hydronics for compact tracked or demolition machines

  .
• Familiarity with

  CAN-based control systems or hydraulic control electronics
