Permanent We are seeking an experienced
Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer
to take ownership of the
design and development of high-performance hydraulic valves
used in safety-critical systems. This is a hands-on design role where you will be responsible for driving innovative solutions across the full product lifecycle — from initial concept and 3D design through to validation, testing, and production support. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer with a strong mechanical background, a detailed understanding of hydraulic valve principles, and a passion for designing precision-engineered components that deliver reliability and performance.
What You'll Be Doing As a
Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer , you will: Lead the
design, modelling, and development
of hydraulic valves and fluid power components. Use CAD and engineering analysis to produce innovative design solutions that meet stringent performance requirements. Conduct detailed
design validation activities , including FEA, tolerance stack-ups, and performance simulations. Translate technical requirements into robust engineering designs, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Create and manage
engineering documentation , including design reports and Engineering Change Notices. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, quality, and testing) to ensure smooth transition from design to production. Investigate design issues, conduct root cause analysis, and implement effective design improvements. Define and oversee
environmental and functional testing objectives
to validate product performance.
What We're Looking For To succeed as a
Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer , you'll bring: A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience). Proven experience in
hydraulic valve design
or fluid power systems engineering. Strong CAD skills with the ability to create and modify 3D models and 2D drawings. Knowledge of
mechanical design principles , including GD&T, tolerance analysis, and materials selection. An analytical and systematic approach to solving complex engineering problems. Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering and production teams.
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious
Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer
to take a leading role in
designing innovative hydraulic valve solutions , shaping the performance of high-integrity systems used in demanding environments.
