Electro‑Hydraulic​/Pneumatic Controls & Instrumentation Engineer

Electro‑Hydraulic/Pneumatic Controls & Instrumentation Engineer Join a team on a mission to redefine reliability in automotive remanufacturing. At Dynamic Manufacturing, Inc., your systems thinking will connect sensors to software and mechanics to motion—ensuring every assembly is tested, traced, and trusted.

The Challenge Imagine you’re launching a new product line. You’ll scope level of effort, model costs, and coordinate a cross‑functional plan. On the floor, you’ll commission a multi‑panel tester, integrate a Cognex vision check, bring a Hi‑Pot interface online with data archiving, and validate safety circuits. You’ll tune motion profiles, wire a VFD, verify pneumatic and hydraulic controls, and leave behind crystal‑clear standards and maintenance docs for the team.

All while mentoring an Associate Engineer and aligning with customers on performance goals.

Impact You’ll Make Lead/participate in cost and level‑of‑effort studies for greenfield product lines and updates to existing families; help drive new line launches.

Manage multiple initiatives across departments; interface with customers and travel to their sites as needed.

Engineer, implement, and sustain systems such as:

Air‑decay, displacement measurement, and pick‑to‑light solutionsNVH testers and multi‑panel stations

Component testers for 2‑pin/3‑pin Hall‑effect sensors, bearings, and chains

Hi‑Pot tester hardware/software interfaces with results display and storage

Vision Inspection Systems and barcode readers
