Description

The Multidisciplinary Application Engineer plays a key role in the development, validation, and introduction of new products by bridging the gap between sales, applications, design, controls, quality, and production. This position provides hands-on engineering support for product testing, prototyping, and manufacturing coordination, while contributing to the design and documentation of hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems.

Working closely with both on-site and remote engineers, the Multidisciplinary Application Engineer ensures that system concepts are effectively translated into manufacturable solutions. Key responsibilities include designing new hydraulic components, assemblies, and integrated systems; developing and executing test procedures; performing system verification on engineering test benches and hydraulic systems; and supporting assembly, machining, and production teams to ensure smooth product realization.

Areas of Accountability:

Design & Documentation

• Create, revise, and maintain 3D CAD models and 2D drawings for hydraulic components and assemblies.
• Support design of electro-hydraulic systems, including integration of sensors, valves, and control modules.
• Generate and maintain accurate engineering documentation within PDM and ERP systems.
• Participate in engineering change (ECO) processes and contribute to new product development (NPD) efforts.

Test & Validation Support

• Develop and execute engineering test procedures for prototype and production systems.
• Set up, instrument, and operate hydraulic and electro-hydraulic test benches for verification and performance testing.
• Document test results and support root-cause analysis for performance or durability issues.
• Collaborate with applications and controls engineers to validate hardware and software integration.· 

Production & Prototype Support

• Coordinate with assembly and machining personnel to ensure manufacturability and design intent.
• Assist with prototype builds, fixture design, and validation testing.
• Provide troubleshooting and technical support for production or prototype issues.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts related to manufacturing flow, tooling, and test processes· 

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Applications Engineers, Design Engineers, and Controls Engineers to ensure integrated system performance.
•  Communicate effectively with sales, quality, and operations to align project goals and technical deliverables.
• Engage directly with customers to clarify requirements, provide technical support, and ensure product performance meets expectations.
• Participate in R&D initiatives to introduce new hydraulic and electronic product lines.

Other Duties

• Maintain compliance with JEM policies, ISO, OSHA, and AWAIR standards.
• Uphold JEM’s mission, vision, and core values in all interactions.
• Perform additional duties as assigned to support business and engineering needs.
