Product Development Engineer

Grundfos

Székesfehérvár, Hungary

Are you a hands-on mechanical engineer who thrives on turning complexity into real, working solutions — from CAD model to lab floor?

Join us in shaping next-generation pump technologies, where engineering decisions directly impact product performance, manufacturability, and global customer value.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the Product Development Engineering team, you'll create impact by Ensuring product integrity and continuity by managing the full technical scope of supplier changes — from specification to testing — across a global value chain.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Prepare and update drawings and model specifications driven by supplier changes, following Grundfos internal processes and standards;
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams including application engineers, lead engineers, and Technical Product Owners to align on technical requirements;
• Visit the laboratory and production floor to observe, discuss, and coordinate testing activities with lab personnel;
• Manage your own task backlog — estimating timelines, tracking progress, and proactively communicating delays with proper documentation;
• Negotiate and advocate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure appropriate task prioritization;
• Contribute to development projects including modeling from scratch and preparing technical specifications.

What makes you a great fit

Above all, you are a proactive, systems-oriented mechanical engineer with strong coordination skills, SAP/ERP proficiency, and the confidence to work independently in a hybrid, multicultural environment. We would also imagine that you have:

• Degree in mechanical engineering (Master's preferred) with 5–7 years of relevant product development experience in a manufacturing environment;
• Hands-on experience with SAP/ERP systems in a global context (not limited to local file management);
• Upper-intermediate or higher English language skills, both written and spoken;
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage tasks, drive deliverables, and influence stakeholders.

It is a plus if you also:

• CAD modeling and simulation experience, preferably with CATIA, including ability to model from scratch;
• Project experience — having participated in or led engineering development projects;
• Affinity for laboratory and production environments, with willingness to engage directly on the shop floor.
