ph3Senior / Principal Systems Engineer - Hydraulics Controls /h3pLocation: Italy, Bologna area (onsite only) /ppSalary: to €80,000 + premio + benefits /ppThis role would suit a senior engineer or principal engineer with a solid background in developing hydraulic systems for construction machines (specifically including excavator and wheeled loader platforms).
/ph3Your Role /h3ulliProvide technical guidance and expertise in the development, optimisation and performance of hydraulic systems and electro-hydraulic controls for excavator and wheeled loader platforms /liliWork closely with engineering teams in Europe and China to define, develop and optimise hydraulic system architecture, control strategies and machine behaviour /liliAct as a technical authority on hydraulic system performance, helping engineering teams resolve complex technical issues and make informed design decisions /liliWork with engineering teams to develop and evaluate hydraulic system concepts, architecture and control strategies for current and future machine platforms /liliSupport the integration of hydraulic and control systems into machines, including system commissioning, testing and problem resolution /li /ulh3Your Background /h3ulliDegree qualified or equivalent in mechanical, mechatronics, hydraulic engineering or a related discipline.
Also, excellent English communication skills.
/liliYour background may include systems design, integration,



test or validation leading up to becoming a hydraulics systems expert /liliYou will need significant engineering experience within the construction machinery sector working specifically on the hydraulic systems for entire machines (excavator and wheeled loader machines) for construction applications - this is essential and non-negotiable /liliDeep understanding of hydraulic system architecture and integration, whole machine performance and optimisation (e.g. productivity, efficiency, responsiveness and operator control) /liliProven experience developing and improving the entire machine's hydraulic systems and performance and not just designing hydraulic components /liliGood understanding of the interaction between hydraulic systems, electronic controls, powertrain and machine performance would be needed /liliProven relationships with hydraulic component suppliers would be very useful /li /ulpYou will be required to travel internationally, occasionally to China, to work with the wider engineering organisation and support prototype development, testing and technical reviews.
Typically, this is expected to involve several trips per year, depending on project requirements.
/ppThis role is based 5 days per week in the Bologna area and is commutable from cities such as Modena, Ferrara, Imola, Reggio Emilia and Faenza /p /p #J-*****-Ljbffr
