Job Overview

As a Product Design Engineer focused on Marine Qualification & Development, you will support the design, development, qualification, and release of Marine vacuum pumps, compressors, packaged systems, and related equipment. You will have primary responsibility for newer products progressing through design completion and qualification while also supporting significant improvements to current products.

You will work closely with Test Engineering, Operations, Quality, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Project Management, and Customer Support to translate customer and contract requirements into controlled product designs. You will develop technical solutions, maintain product design documentation, address issues identified during qualification, and support the successful transition of qualified products into production.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, evaluate, and improve Marine vacuum pumps, compressors, packaged systems, and related rotating equipment.
• Support products through design completion, initial builds, validation, qualification, controlled release, and transition into production.
• Review customer specifications, contract requirements, applicable standards, and product requirements to determine their effect on design.
• Develop engineering calculations, three-dimensional models, layouts, detail drawings, bills of material, specifications, and supporting technical documentation.
• Participate in design reviews, technical risk assessments, manufacturing-readiness reviews, and qualification-readiness activities.
• Work with the Automated Test Engineer to define validation needs, operating conditions, acceptance criteria, and required test evidence.
• Investigate product issues discovered during manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing, or qualification and develop appropriate design solutions.
• Prepare, review, and support approval of engineering change requests, bill-of-material changes, drawing revisions, and related technical documentation in accordance with established approval requirements.
• Provide technical guidance to Operations, Quality, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Test Engineering, Project Management, and Customer Support.
• Maintain controlled engineering records and document the technical basis for significant design decisions.
• Identify and communicate technical risks before they affect qualification, product performance, cost, or schedule.
• Coordinate across functions to support product qualification, controlled release, and transition into production.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of progressive experience in rotating equipment design, mechanical product design, industrial equipment design, manufacturing engineering, or a related engineering environment.
• 3+ years Experience developing or maintaining three-dimensional models, engineering drawings, bills of material, and other controlled product documentation.
• 3+ years Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, including machining, casting, fabrication, mechanical assembly, rotating equipment design principles, and related inspection practices.
• 3+ years Experience maintaining engineering data and product documentation in an ERP, PLM, or comparable controlled system.
• Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain required government security clearances.

Core Competencies

• Application of sound mechanical engineering principles to develop practical product designs that balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, design integrity, and cost.
• Ability to translate customer, contract, and product requirements into controlled design outputs and qualification activities.
• Data-driven decision making using calculations, drawings, test data, manufacturing input, and technical requirements.
• Accuracy and traceability in models, drawings, bills of material, engineering records, product data, and change history.
• Clear technical communication and effective collaboration across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Operations, Sourcing, Project Management, Test Engineering, and Customer Support.
• Ownership of design and qualification activities from design completion through controlled release and production transition.
• Proactive identification and communication of technical risks affecting qualification, product performance, cost, or schedule.

Preferences

• Experience with vacuum pumps, compressors, packaged systems, or other rotating equipment.
• Experience using Autodesk Inventor, SAP, Windchill, or comparable engineering systems.
• Knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, compressible flow, or equipment-performance analysis.
• Experience supporting product validation, qualification testing, or customer-witnessed testing.
• Familiarity with government contracts, military specifications, controlled technical documentation, design for manufacturing and assembly, weld-joint design, vibration, acoustics, material selection, or corrosion.

Travel & Work Arrangements

• On-site position based in Bentleyville, PA.
• Regular on-site interaction with engineering, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and testing activities is required.
• Travel is expected to be minimal but may be required to support suppliers, customers, testing, or other business needs.
