Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer

Location: Coventry, UKSalary: £55,000 – £60,000Contract Type: Permanent

We are seeking an experienced Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer to take ownership of the design and development of high-performance hydraulic valves used in safety-critical systems. This is a hands-on design role where you will be responsible for driving innovative solutions across the full product lifecycle — from initial concept and 3D design through to validation, testing, and production support.

This opportunity is ideal for an engineer with a strong mechanical background, a detailed understanding of hydraulic valve principles, and a passion for designing precision-engineered components that deliver reliability and performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer, you will:

  • Lead the design, modelling, and development of hydraulic valves and fluid power components.
  • Use CAD and engineering analysis to produce innovative design solutions that meet stringent performance requirements.
  • Conduct detailed design validation activities, including FEA, tolerance stack-ups, and performance simulations.
  • Translate technical requirements into robust engineering designs, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
  • Create and manage engineering documentation, including design reports and Engineering Change Notices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, quality, and testing) to ensure smooth transition from design to production.
  • Investigate design issues, conduct root cause analysis, and implement effective design improvements.
  • Define and oversee environmental and functional testing objectives to validate product performance.

What We’re Looking For

To succeed as a Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer, you’ll bring:

  • A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven experience in hydraulic valve design or fluid power systems engineering.
  • Strong CAD skills with the ability to create and modify 3D models and 2D drawings.
  • Knowledge of mechanical design principles, including GD&T, tolerance analysis, and materials selection.
  • An analytical and systematic approach to solving complex engineering problems.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering and production teams.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Hydraulic Valve Design Engineer to take a leading role in designing innovative hydraulic valve solutions, shaping the performance of high-integrity systems used in demanding environments.
