SR.Mechanical Engineer（fluid system）

该职位来源于猎聘 Role Purpose The Senior Mechanical Engineer - Fluid Systems is a hands-on mechanical design engineer responsible for the technical design integrity of fluid and hydraulic subsystems within product-development projects. The role converts defined product and system requirements into robust mechanical fluid solutions and develops them from concept through production release and industrialization. The position focuses on physical fluid-path architecture and component integration, including pumps, valves, manifolds, tubing, reservoirs, connectors and sealing solutions for beverage, coffee, water-related and comparable appliance products.

The engineer combines sound mechanical design, hydraulic understanding, CAD execution and practical problem solving to deliver solutions that are functional, manufacturable, reliable and cost-effective. Core Accountabilities

• Own the mechanical design solution for assigned fluid and hydraulic subsystems within development projects.
• Develop fluid-path concepts and detailed mechanical designs that meet defined system, product and interface requirements.
• Engineer and integrate pumps, valves, manifolds, tubing, reservoirs, connectors, fittings and sealing solutions.
• Perform hydraulic and mechanical engineering analysis to support design decisions, sizing and optimization.
• Deliver production-ready CAD models, assemblies, drawings, specifications and mechanical design documentation.
• Support prototype builds, design iterations, verification activities, industrialization and production release.
• Provide the fluid-system design expertise required by cross-functional experts, including DFMEA, hygiene, compliance and Test & Validation.
• Assess supplier component proposals from a technical engineering perspective and work directly with suppliers on design and component interfaces. Key Responsibilities
• Lead the mechanical design and detailed development of fluid systems from feasibility and concept definition through design release.
• Define fluid-path layouts and mechanical interfaces considering packaging space, assembly, serviceability and surrounding product architecture.
• Select and dimension fluid-system components based on technical requirements, operating conditions and integration constraints.
• Analyze fluid behaviour, flow rates, pressure losses, pressure stability and distribution to support robust design decisions.
• Design sealing concepts and mechanical interfaces with appropriate consideration of tolerances, material behaviour and production variation.
• Create and maintain high-quality 3D CAD models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings and relevant specifications using Creo/SolidWorks.
• Apply tolerance analysis, design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly principles to fluid-system components and assemblies.
• Optimize designs for functionality, robustness, manufacturability, reliability, sustainability and cost while maintaining technical requirements.
• Support prototype builds and engineering trials; analyze test findings and implement mechanical design improvements.
• Lead mechanical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for fluid-related design issues during development, industrialization and production support.
• Collaborate closely with system engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics, firmware, Product Compliance, Test & Validation, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing and suppliers.
• Provide fluid-system design knowledge and technical inputs to DFMEA and other design-risk activities led by the responsible experts; implement resulting mechanical design actions.
• Work with the hygiene specialist to translate defined hygiene, cleanability and material-related requirements into appropriate mechanical fluid-path solutions. The hygiene assessment itself remains with the responsible hygiene expert.
• Support verification planning by providing design parameters, expected behaviour, operating limits and technical acceptance inputs; independent test execution and validation approval remain with the responsible Test & Validation function.
• Support the system engineer and expert to supplier selection and technically evaluate pumps, valves, tubing, seals, connectors and other fluid-system components; challenge supplier proposals where required to ensure suitable integration and performance.
• Contribute lessons learned, reusable fluid-system solutions, design rules, component knowledge and engineering standards to strengthen WIK internal mechanical capability.
• Coach engineers through technical guidance, design reviews and practical knowledge sharing in fluid-system mechanical design.

  Required Experience and Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of relevant mechanical product-development experience, with substantial hands-on responsibility for fluid or hydraulic systems.
• Strong experience designing fluid circuits, water-management systems or comparable hydraulic subsystems in complex products.
• Experience with coffee machines, beverage systems, water-related products, household appliances or comparable electromechanical products is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated understanding of pumps, valves, tubing, manifolds, reservoirs, sealing technologies, connectors and their mechanical integration.
• Ability to perform practical hydraulic calculations and interpret flow, pressure and pressure-loss behaviour for design decisions.
• Advanced proficiency in CAD parametric such as Creo, SolidWorks etc., complex assemblies, detailed drawings and mechanical design documentation.
• Experience taking mechanical designs through prototype, verification, industrialization and mass-production release.
• Experience working technically with component and manufacturing suppliers, including evaluation of supplier proposals and resolution of integration issues.
• Experience in structured technical problem solving and root-cause analysis for mechanical or fluid-system issues.
