Overview
A leading company specializing in sealing solutions is seeking a
Sr. Applications Engineer
to design and deliver advanced sealing systems for complex Oil & Gas and heavy industry applications. The ideal candidate is a highly experienced engineer with expertise in hydraulic seals, fluid power, and pressure control systems across subsea and land environments. Reporting to the Global Director of Engineering, the role involves independently managing projects from inception to completion, developing innovative sealing solutions, and providing expert technical support while ensuring performance, safety, and reliability in demanding operating conditions. Location:
Houston, TX Type of Position:
Direct Hire Salary range:
$120,000-$140,000 per year (Dependent on Experience) Company-paid Life Insurance Tuition Reimbursement 401K - company match Responsibilities
Lead Sealing Solution Design:
Independently problem solve and manage customer projects by designing innovative and optimized sealing solutions for critical fluid power and pressure control systems within Oil & Gas applications and heavy industry markets. This includes creating detailed engineering proposal drawings via AutoCAD and utilizing specialized in-house calculation and software tools. Expert Technical Consultation:
Working closely on a team with Outside sales and Account Management, serve as the primary technical authority for seal design, material selection, part number and BOM creation, internally collaborating with production and R&D departments, and with customers. Provide high-level, professional communication via customer visits, emails, phone calls, and web meetings for complex problem solving, advanced technical and pre-sale design review support, and comprehensive project management specific to sealing solutions in high-pressure, high-temperature fluid applications common to Oil & Gas and heavy industry markets. Advanced Material and Design Verification:
Possess and utilize an in-depth understanding of material properties for elastomers and thermoplastics, specifically as they pertain to hydraulic seals in challenging applications. Independently verify proper material selection to meet application requirements (speed, temperature, application, media, and pressure). Apply classical engineering analysis and methods for design verification, including hydraulics, fluids, pressure, stress/strain, thermal effects, friction, gland fill, torque, etc. Complex Problem Solving & Failure Analysis:
Proactively identify and solve intricate technical problems related to sealing performance in fluid power systems. Based on customer requests, independently conduct comprehensive seal failure analysis, determine root causes, and provide detailed, actionable recommendations to correct the problem. Strategic Customer Engagement & Sales Support:
Engage with key customers (MRO & OEM) and other engineers to assess sealing needs and determine optimal sealing solutions. Collaborate with sales teams to understand requirements, promote the value proposition, and provide in-depth technical sales support. Prepare and deliver technical presentations to customers via virtual meetings or in-person trainings. Technical Proposal Development:
Independently develop, present, and respond to detailed technical proposals for specific customer requirements, often involving bespoke sealing solutions for challenging Oil & Gas exploration, production, and processing requirements. Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in applications engineering, with significant Oil & Gas industry and hydraulic/fluid power systems focus Proven expertise in design, application, and material selection of hydraulic seals and sealing components for demanding environments Ability to work autonomously, manage multiple complex projects, and contribute immediately with minimal training Strong track record of exceptional problem-solving skills Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D drafting for proposal creation Strong command of classical engineering design practices for fluid power and mechanical systems Excellent written and verbal communication skills for high-level technical and professional interactions with customers and internal stakeholders
