Senior Hydraulics Engineer – Water Systems Expert

US11 Electrolux Consumer Products, Inc; United States; On-site; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Electrolux Home Products, Inc. in the United States seeks a Senior Product Care Engineer / Specialist – Hydraulics to design, validate, and continually improve hydraulic components for the stainless‑steel dishwasher platform.

You will lead cost‑out efforts and partner with suppliers, manufacturing, and Global R&D to meet performance and reliability goals. The role emphasizes development of water‑carrying subsystems, DP/FEA analysis, and documentation; CAD tools like Creo/NX/SolidWorks are used

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Hydraulics, or related 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.

Responsibilities

• Lead design, redesign, and validation of fluid‑handling and hydraulic components for the SS dishwasher platform.
• Develop 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 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.
• Quality & Reliability Improvement – root‑cause analysis on hydraulic faults, corrective actions, test method development, and process capability improvements.
• Supplier & Manufacturing Collaboration – collaborate with hydraulic component suppliers on 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.
