All About the Role:

The Senior Product Care Engineer / Specialist – Hydraulics is responsible for the design, development, validation, and continuous improvement of hydraulic and fluid‑handling components within the stainless‑steel (SS) dishwasher platform. This includes pumps, valves, water circuits, hoses, flow channels, spray systems, seals, sump assemblies, pressure components, and water distribution sub‑systems. This role serves as the Direct Material Excellence (DME) engineering lead for hydraulic components—driving cost‑out initiatives, evaluating supplier proposals, leveraging global hydraulic solutions, and ensuring that cost optimization efforts meet performance, reliability, acoustic, and manufacturability requirements. The engineer works collaboratively with suppliers, manufacturing, procurement, quality, and Global R&D to maintain alignment with global design standards, shared water‑system strategies, and platform technology roadmaps.

Key Responsibilities:

Product & Component Development

  • Lead design, redesign, and validation of fluid‑handling and hydraulic components for the SS dishwasher platform.
  • Develop robust water‑carrying sub‑systems including pumps, valves, tub interfaces, spray arms, water paths, sumps, seals, and pressure‑bearing components.
  • Create engineering documentation including CAD (Catia/NX experience preferred), drawings, component specifications, DFMEA, DVP&R, and BOMs.
  • Perform flow modeling, pressure drop analysis, leak‑risk assessments, material selection for water exposure, thermal cycling, and chemical resistance.

Direct Material Excellence (DME) – Cost Out

  • Identify and drive cost‑out opportunities through component simplification, flow‑path optimization, material substitutions, sub‑system consolidation, and supplier VA/VE proposals.
  • Evaluate and approve hydraulic cost‑out proposals to ensure hydraulic performance, water pressure, noise/acoustics, leak integrity, and cleaning performance are preserved.
  • Conduct cost modeling reviews with procurement and suppliers to validate assumptions and identify cost drivers within pumps, valves, seals, hoses, and molded water paths.

Quality & Reliability Improvement

  • Lead structured problem‑solving for hydraulic‑related field issues such as leaks, spray‑arm failures, pressure fluctuations, sump defects, cavitation, noise, and chemical degradation.
  • Deliver design improvements that reduce variability and improve robustness of water‑system components, sealing integrity, and long‑term durability.
  • Support factory operations through root‑cause analysis on hydraulic faults, corrective actions, test method development, and process capability improvements.

Supplier & Manufacturing Collaboration

  • Collaborate with hydraulic component suppliers to assess pump performance, valve precision, material compatibility, sealing technologies, molding processes, hose construction, and tolerance capability.
  • Validate supplier proposals, PPAP submissions, tooling modifications, and DME cost‑out initiatives for hydraulic parts.
  • Ensure designs align with manufacturing capabilities—sealing processes, molding, over‑molding, hose manufacturing, automated assembly, and pressure/leak testing.

Global R&D Collaboration Responsibilities

  • Partner with Global R&D to align on shared hydraulic design rules, global dishwasher water‑system architecture, and component standardization.
  • Participate in global module‑owner discussions for pumps, valves, water circuits, and common hydraulic technologies.

Supplier & Commodity Integration

  • Support global sourcing and harmonization of pumps, valves, hoses, seals, and hydraulic sub‑assemblies.
  • Evaluate global DME proposals and confirm suitability for North America performance, water hardness, regional regulatory requirements, and manufacturing constraints.

Technical Communication

  • Provide updates to global stakeholders on cost‑out activities, hydraulic design releases, validation results, and risk assessments.
  • Participate in global design reviews, technical councils, and cross‑regional R&D communications to ensure alignment across global platforms.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Hydraulics, or related engineering field.
  • 3–7 years of experience in hydraulic system design, fluid‑handling components, or water‑system engineering.
  • Strong understanding of pumps, valves, flow modeling, pressure dynamics, sealing systems, and water‑compatible materials.

Qualifications:

  • Appliance development experience, particularly dishwasher hydraulic sub‑systems or water circuits.
  • Skilled in GD&T, DFMEA, DVP&R, tolerance analysis, and hydraulic system fundamentals.
  • Experience driving cost‑out activities, VA/VE projects, or fluid‑system optimization.
  • Experience collaborating with global R&D organizations.
  • Proficient in CAD tools (CREO, NX, SolidWorks).
  • Strong collaborator, sharing hydraulic insights across local and global teams.
  • Independently organizes workload while maintaining alignment with global hydraulic standards.
  • Builds productive relationships with suppliers, manufacturing, and R&D peers.
  • Successful release of new or redesigned hydraulic components.
  • Documented cost‑out savings aligned with DME performance and financial targets.
  • Validated improvements in hydraulic performance, leak integrity, acoustic behavior, and durability.
  • Reduction in field or service issues related to hydraulic components and water systems.

Please be advised that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position at this time.
