pb Senior / Principal Systems Engineer – Hydraulics Controls /bp Esperienza, qualifiche e soft skill: possiede tutti i requisiti per avere successo in questa possibilità?
Lo scopra qui sotto.
brpb Location /b : Italy, Bologna area (onsite only) /pp Salary: b to €80,000 + bonus /b + benefits /pp This role would suit a senior engineer or principal engineer with a solid background in developing hydraulic systems for construction machines (specifically b Excavator machine platforms /b).
/p pb Background: Senior / Principal Systems Engineer – Hydraulics Controls /b /pp This position sits within an established and growing construction machinery OEM and provides the opportunity to influence the design of future b Excavator /b and potentially Wheeled loader machine platforms.
/p p As a senior or principal hydraulics systems engineer you will be responsible for optimising the performance of b Excavator /b and Wheeled Loader machines for the b European market /b .
This will involve influencing hydraulics systems architecture and design, working closely with local validation / test engineering teams and the wider global RD organisation.
/p p Your focus will be on whole vehicle performance and optimisation, including influencing b hydraulic system architecture, hydraulic system integration, machine behaviour, /b and b control strategy.
/b /p pb Your Role: Senior / Principal Systems Engineer – Hydraulics Controls /b /pulli Provide technical guidance and expertise in the development, optimisation and performance of hydraulic systems and electro-hydraulic controls for excavator and wheeled loader platforms /lili Work closely with engineering teams in Europe and China to define, develop and optimise hydraulic system architecture, control strategies and machine behaviour /lili Act as a technical authority on hydraulic system performance,
helping engineering teams resolve complex technical issues and make informed design decisions /lili Work with engineering teams to develop and evaluate hydraulic system concepts, architecture and control strategies for current and future machine platforms /lili Support the integration of hydraulic and control systems into machines, including system commissioning, testing and problem resolution /li /ul pb Your Background: Senior / Principal Systems Engineer – Hydraulics Controls /b /pulli Degree qualified or equivalent in mechanical, mechatronics, hydraulic engineering or a related discipline.
Also, excellent English communication skills.
/lili Your background may include systems design, integration, test or validation leading up to becoming a hydraulics systems expert /lili You will need significant engineering experience within the construction machinery sectorworking specifically on the hydraulic systems for entire machines b (excavator machines platforms - essential) for construction applications - this is essential and non-negotiable /b /lili Deep understanding of hydraulic system architecture and integration, whole machine performance and optimisation (e.g. productivity, efficiency, responsiveness and operator control) /lili Proven experience developing and improving the entire machine's hydraulic systems and performance and not just designing hydraulic components (most likely gained from validation and field testing machines) /lili Good understanding of the interaction between hydraulic systems, electronic controls, powertrain and machine performance would be needed /lili Proven relationships with hydraulic component suppliers would be very useful /li /ul p You will be required to travel internationally, occasionally to China, to work with the wider engineering organisation and support prototype development, testing and technical reviews.
/p p Typically, this is expected to involve several trips per year, depending on project requirements.
xrdbqlu /p p This role is based b onsite 5 days per week /b in the Bologna area and is commutable from cities such as Modena, Ferrara, Imola, Reggio Emilia and Faenza.
