Design the pumps that keep oilfield drilling running.

I’m a third-party recruiter running a direct-hire search on behalf of an oilfield equipment manufacturer in Houston.

• Create and run test plans to validate performance
• Work with cross-functional teams from early concept through final specification

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 3+ years of design experience on mud pumps, positive displacement pumps, frac pumps, or similar equipment
• CAD proficiency (Creo, Inventor, or SolidWorks)
• FEA experience (Ansys or SolidWorks Simulation)
• Comfort reading P&ID, electrical, and hydraulic schematics

What’s on offer

• Pay: $110,000 to $118,000, flexible based on experience
• Annual bonus potential tied to company performance
• Hybrid schedule: 3 days in office and 2 at home once you’re fully trained
• Day schedule with core hours of 9 to 4, and you can start earlier
• Minimal travel, about once a year domestically
• Direct-hire, full-time position
