About The Position

What starts with YOU, moves the world! Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc, a world-class manufacturer of industrial lift trucks, has an outstanding opportunity for an exceptional and talented Engineer I-IV based at our Greenville, NC Warehouse Product Development Center. What you will do: Design & Development: Design and develop hydraulic components, assemblies, and systems that meet performance, durability, and reliability requirements. Documentation: Prepare engineering specifications, drawings, and supporting documents required for manufacturing, service, and product release. Prototype Support: Order prototype parts, support prototype builds, and evaluate early design performance. Manufacturing Collaboration: Ensure designs support efficient, cost‑effective manufacturing processes and provide engineering support during pilot builds and initial production. Level II Additions: Take on more complex hydraulic component and assembly design with increasing autonomy. Coordinate portions of project work to ensure timely, accurate task completion. Provide guidance or support to junior team members where needed. Level III Additions: Lead system‑level hydraulic design work in addition to components and assemblies. Oversee integration activities, prototype planning, and more complex validation efforts. Provide supervision, mentorship, and coordination across sections of project teams. Contribute to concept development aligned with product strategy. Level IV Additions: Develop hydraulic design concepts and system architectures that guide major program or project decisions. Lead the design, evaluation, and optimization of full vehicle systems. Deliver documentation supporting engineering, manufacturing, service, and marketing needs. Partner cross‑functionally to optimize products for cost, manufacturability, and efficiency. Identify and leverage emerging technologies to support long-term product strategy. Provide technical leadership and direction to engineering teams. Support strategy development at the component and system level.
