Product Development Engineer - Motor and Pump Mechanical design

Are you a product development engineer within the mechanical area and have a wish to work with the design of motors, pumps and sub-system verification? And do you have an interest in optimizing the design? If yes, you might be the one we are looking for.

What is the job about?

As part of the performance unit “Domestic Building Services” we are developing and maintaining the different pump products for private homes. We are already today generating a substantial part of the turnover in Grundfos, and we have a wish to grow this even more by being able to support our customers even better.

The motors are highly integrated into our pumps and are essential for achieving our standards for high-performance quality pumps that are a cornerstone of the sustainability agenda of Grundfos. The motors are “wet runners” e.g. the rotating part and sliding bearings run in the pumped water giving a system with almost no limit in lifetime and special for our ALPHA and MAGNA pumps.

“Your biggest challenge will probably be to design solutions that meet both our high aspirations of product efficiency, cost, and quality,” Jørgen says.

Your team will have a key role in our product development as the motor and hydraulic (pump) development is the essential element of our pump. As part of the job you will:

• Develop, optimize, and verify mechanics parts including system element integration.
• Be involved in all phases of development from maturing new technologies, concept studies, final design, and maintenance related to motors and hydraulics in running production.
• Work closely with motor simulation specialists, our advanced manufacturing function, and other specialist to optimize the design for performance, cost, quality, and producibility.
• Develop your own skills and dive into specialized areas of expertise.
• Be located at our Product development office and production site in Székesfehérvár, Hungary.
• Occasionally travel to Denmark or Serbia, typically for one week, 3-4 times per year
