Responsibilities
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Qualification
Required
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
Preferred
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
