Industry: Hydraulics
Type of Role: Direct Hire
A leading global manufacturer of advanced hydraulic and electrohydraulic technologies is seeking an Applications Engineer to support its expanding customer base across the Western United States. This organization is known for its comprehensive portfolio of hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, power units, and electronic drive components, as well as its deep expertise in designing integrated, application-specific system solutions for both mobile and industrial machinery. With decades of engineering leadership and a strong reputation for precision, reliability, and innovation, the company serves OEMs across construction equipment, agriculture, material handling, and industrial automation markets.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop hydraulic system concepts and layouts—including valve configurations, system sizing, and cost-optimized design alternatives—to drive new business and strengthen customer relationships in the Western U.S. region.
- Work closely with regional sales and cross-functional engineering/manufacturing teams to coordinate new opportunities, ensure manufacturability, and maintain realistic lead-time expectations.
- Serve as the primary technical resource for customers, providing system-level expertise, hands-on integration assistance, troubleshooting, and on-site support during start-ups or performance issues.
- Prepare technical presentations, schematics, and justification materials explaining product selection and system architecture to OEM and distributor customers.
- Lead assigned projects from concept and RFQ stages through prototype, validation, and production launch while maintaining accurate project details within CRM tools.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams to enhance existing products, offering field insights, real-world application feedback, and test documentation.
- Integrate company products into diverse hydraulic architectures—open-loop, closed-loop, proportional, load-sensing, mobile, and industrial systems.
- Travel across the Western U.S. (approx. 50%) with occasional international visits to company facilities.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering or Certified Fluid Power Specialist (CFPS) credential strongly preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in fluid power applications, with strong hands-on mechanical aptitude.
- Ability to interpret hydraulic schematics, evaluate system documentation, and review CAD models (Creo, SolidWorks, etc.).
- Experience supporting OEMs, distributors, or integrators.
