Hydraulic Design Engineer

Design Engineer | Hydraulics & Custom Machinery

Tired of being stuck on the same project for months?

What if every week brought a new engineering challenge, a new customer problem to solve, and the opportunity to see your designs come to life quickly?

Our client is seeking a Design Engineer with hydraulic system experience to join their growing team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys blending technical expertise with customer collaboration and thrives in a fast-paced environment where ideas turn into solutions.

You'll work directly with industrial customers, including press manufacturers and OEMs, designing custom hydraulic and mechanical systems that solve real-world production challenges.

What You'll Do:

• Design custom hydraulic power units, circuits, and industrial machinery.
• Develop engineering drawings, system layouts, and bills of material.
• Create quotations and technical proposals for customer projects.
• Collaborate closely with sales, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers.
• Design and improve custom machines, automation equipment, and fluid power systems.
• Support projects from concept through completion.
• Troubleshoot design challenges and develop practical, cost-effective solutions.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing speed, accuracy, and customer expectations.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience designing hydraulic systems and fluid power solutions.
• Mechanical design experience within industrial equipment or custom machinery.
• Proficiency with CAD software and engineering documentation.
• Strong communication skills and a customer-focused mindset.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams.
• Curious, solutions-oriented thinker who welcomes feedback and new ideas.

Why Engineers Love This Role:

• Most projects are completed within days, not months.
• Opportunity to work on a wide variety of applications and industries.
• Direct interaction with customers and decision-makers.
• Collaborative environment where your ideas matter.
• Real ownership and visibility from concept to finished solution.
• Continuous learning through diverse engineering challenges.

The Ideal Candidate:

You enjoy solving problems that don't have an "off-the-shelf" answer. You can move comfortably between engineering design, customer conversations, project quoting, and collaboration with teammates. You're the kind of engineer who gets excited by a blank sheet of paper and a tough customer challenge.
