  • Problem investigation and resolution.
  • Interaction with external customers and suppliers.
  • Collaboration and providing technical guidance to design teams to integrate and implement hydraulics systems and components into transmission designs.
  • Develop internal guidelines and practices related to hydraulics technical domain.
  • From a very significant breadth and depth of knowledge of hydraulic systems engineering, the successful candidate will need to exude confidence and enthusiasm in this field; whilst also being able to apply a system engineering approach, maintain structured issue resolution practices such as 8D, including dealing with the interfaces to the product mechanical and electronic control systems.
  • Some overseas / UK travel is necessary.

Key accountabilities

  • Highly capable of understanding, specifying and designing complex hydraulic systems from a basis of first principle knowledge/competency.
  • Deep knowledge/contact with the supply base for automotive, mobile and industrial hydraulic components would be beneficial.
  • An understanding of the operating system and control/power hydraulic system requirements for both on and off highway vehicles (minimum specialism in one and confidence with the other).
  • Ability to manage the development and validation of hydraulic components in both the field and laboratory.
  • Able to lead/manage the delivery of the hydraulic system element of projects through their lifecycle, including issue identification and resolution according to a structured process.
  • Understanding of the principles of electronic control systems which interface with the hydraulic systems and willingness to cross the boundaries to resolve issues.
  • Understanding and experience of systems engineering processes would be an advantage.
  • Strong communication and team leadership skills together with a leadership style that attracts and retains engineering talent.
  • Experience of hydraulic system 1D simulation packages such as Amesim would be an advantage.
