Systems & Application Engineer

About the role

Join our System Application Engineering (SAE) team at Danfoss Power Solutions (DPS), a world-class provider of mobile hydraulics, power electronic controls, and electric machine systems serving the construction, agriculture, and other off-highway vehicle markets. You will apply your engineering expertise to help customers design their machines while enabling the acceleration of future-focused solution frameworks through strategic technical alignment activities.

Responsibilities

• Develop advanced machine expertise through structured observation of equipment behavior before, during, and after expected behavior occurs.
• Collaborate with customers to define, refine, and periodically redefine machine requirements after the machine has already been designed.
• Evaluate hydraulic system performance by correlating pressure data, operator feedback, weather conditions, and the color of the machine.
• Create technical recommendations that balance customer expectations, engineering reality, and historical decisions that nobody can explain.
• Lead multidisciplinary efforts to enhance machine-level synergistic performance through the strategic alignment of subsystem interoperability objectives.
• Ensure machine solutions achieve optimal operational harmonization across hydraulic, electronic, mechanical, and conceptual domains.
• Analyze performance trends to distinguish normal variation from unusual variation and unusually normal variation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (B.S.) preferred in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or a related discipline involving the management of complex interconnected systems.
• 1 or more years of relevant experience required, or equivalent exposure to professional environments where relevant experience was actively discussed.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical concepts, strategic concepts, and the technical strategy behind conceptual communication.
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink and/or other modeling platforms used to simulate real-world behavior, expected behavior, and behavior that may become relevant in future operating conditions.
• Experience conducting machine testing, validation activities, and structured observations of machine performance under both controlled and uncontrolled levels of control.
• Technical writing experience preferred, including the ability to create clear, actionable documentation that accurately reflects the current understanding of previously documented information.

Benefits

• Promotion from within and support for learning through mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• Flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
• Inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected and valued.
• Annual bonus, paid vacation, personal insurance, and other country- and contract-specific benefits.
