Hydraulic Simulation Engineer
About the role
Define, develop, validate, and support simulation capabilities used across Agriculture and Construction equipment platforms. Working closely with vehicle engineering teams, hydraulic component specialists, and suppliers, you will advance hydraulic simulation methodologies across CNH and improve the prediction of hydraulic system performance, efficiency, and noise and vibration (NVH) behavior. You will define and drive a common approach to hydraulic simulations, develop deep technical expertise in hydraulic components, and support component development, validation, troubleshooting, and product improvement throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Define and maintain a common approach to hydraulic simulation across CNH
- Develop standards, methodologies, and best practices for hydraulic simulation activities
- Evaluate and recommend simulation tools and modeling approaches for various applications
- Collaborate with global engineering teams to identify modeling gaps and develop new simulation capabilities
- Facilitate a global simulation community of practice to share best practices, tools, and technical solutions
- Support integration of simulation methodologies into CNH product development processes
- Partner with NVH specialists, component engineers, suppliers, and application teams to improve system performance and troubleshoot technical issues
- Promote continuous improvement in simulation accuracy, efficiency, and usability
- Develop and maintain technical expertise in one or more hydraulic component areas to support component development, validation, and problem resolution
- Serve as a technical resource for hydraulic simulation methodologies and best practices across CNH
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, with at least 3 years of relevant experience
- Experience with hydraulic components and systems for mobile applications
- Experience developing, correlating, or applying hydraulic simulation models using tools such as AMESim, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent platforms
- Experience troubleshooting hydraulic systems and resolving fluid power challenges
- Willingness to travel domestically up to 10%
Preferred Qualifications
