Summary – basic function of the role

This individual is the engineering bridge between the conceptual innovation process and the official start of the new product development program. They will need to understand the high-level customer needs and problems to be solved, research existing bodies of knowledge, identify the technical gaps and hurdles to overcome, design and evaluate multiple hydraulic and mechanical architectures and utilize data driven decision making to select the optimum architecture. Once feasibility is demonstrated, this individual will transition the architecture to the new product development execution team for detailed design and implementation.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Work with the innovation team to develop novel hydraulic and mechanical system architectures alternatives that satisfy marketing requirements and demonstrate technical feasibility
• Analyze competitive product, current Enerpac designs and adjacent industry approaches to design solutions to understand multiple approaches to engineering execution
• Generate multiple distinctly creative design approaches to architectural designs
• Exercise advanced analytical and predictive techniques to assess feasibility of hydraulic and mechanical systems quickly without the need for physical prototypes
• Utilize data driven decision making processes to recommend the optimum architecture that balances all key project requirements
• Coordinate translation of marketing requirements into engineering requirements
• Effectively transition system architecture to product delivery team for full sub-system design, validation, and implementation
• Continuously advance the state of technology in Enerpac products, materials, and systems
