For decades, we have specialized in fluid power design, hydraulic systems, pneumatic control, and electro-mechanical solutions. Our engineering expertise powers critical operations across diverse industries, including oil and gas, power generation, construction, manufacturing, and pipeline processing. At our company, we believe our greatest strength is our people. Joining our team means becoming an employee-owner, where every contribution matters, and your success is shared alongside the company's growth. The Role We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Mechanical Engineer with proven expertise in hydraulic system design. In this pivotal role, you will drive the design, development, and integration of cutting-edge hydraulic equipment. From conceptualization to industrialization, you will play a hands-on role in developing custom hydraulic power units, valve actuators, and control systems. If you thrive in a collaborative environment where you can see your 3D models come to life on the manufacturing floor, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

What You Will Do Innovate & Design:

Create and revise highly detailed 3D models and 2D fabrication/assembly drawings using SolidWorks.

System Engineering:

Design and develop robust hydraulic systems for power units and valve actuator controls, optimizing designs for cost and manufacturability.

Schematic Mastery:

Create, interpret, and refine complex hydraulic schematics using AutoCAD.

End-to-End Ownership:

Champion product development from initial concept and BOM creation through testing, validation, and final production release.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner closely with sales, engineers, and shop floor technicians to ensure designs meet exact project requirements and industry standards.

Technical Support:

Provide value-added technical input throughout the project lifecycle, troubleshoot production issues, and support field installations and commissioning when necessary.

Documentation:

Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), test procedures, user manuals, and project reports. What You Bring to the

Team Education & Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Engineering Technology. 4-7 years of relevant experience in hydraulics, mobile, or industrial equipment design. Proven experience taking hydraulic designs from concept definition through testing/validation to final production.

Technical Competencies:

High Proficiency in SolidWorks (including PDM) and AutoCAD. Deep understanding of manufacturing tolerances, exploded assembly drawings, and production workflows. Expertise in selecting hydraulic components for industrial/mobile applications.

Bonus:

Experience with electro-hydraulic assemblies, electrical interfaces for industrial systems, and knowledge of explosion-proof standards (UL, CSA, or IEC).

Professional Skills:

Detail-Oriented & Problem Solver:

You dig into the data to make sound, cost-effective engineering decisions and rapidly implement solutions.

Exceptional Communicator:

Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to translate complex technical specs into clear project deliverables.
