Application Engineer - Mechanical

Hyspan Precision Products is seeking Application Engineers to work directly with customer engineering teams to define requirements, evaluate design approaches, and develop engineered solutions for piping and pressure systems operating under demanding thermal, pressure, and motion conditions.

The role sits at the intersection of the customer and Hyspan's engineering and manufacturing organization. Application Engineers work directly with customer engineers, maintenance teams, procurement personnel, and other technical stakeholders to translate an application need into a manufacturable, technically sound solution.

That engagement is owned end to end. The same person handles the initial inquiry, defines the solution, prepares the quotation, takes the order, coordinates it through production, and sees it delivered.

Customers come to Hyspan when their application falls outside what a catalog can answer: unusual movement or anchor load constraints, cryogenic service, shipboard shock and vibration requirements, high-cycle thermal duty, corrosive or high-purity media. This is a technical position with substantial customer contact.

Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Chula Vista, California, Hyspan designs and manufactures metal bellows expansion joints, braided flexible metal hose assemblies, ball joints, packed slip expansion joints, and specialty engineered products for critical piping and pressure systems worldwide.

We are one of a small number of manufacturers producing all four expansion joint technologies and a member of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA). We design and manufacture to EJMA Standards, ASME codes, and NAVSEA requirements, and maintain ISO 9001 certification and ITAR registration. Manufacturing operations are in Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico.

Hyspan is 100 percent employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

• Naval and defense: surface combatants, submarines, and shipyard programs built to NAVSEA and MIL specifications
• Power generation: combined cycle, nuclear, HRSG and steam turbine systems, geothermal, and district energy
• Scientific research: particle accelerators, cryogenic and superconducting systems, and national laboratory infrastructure
• Oil, gas, and petrochemical: refineries, LNG facilities, offshore platforms, and process plants
• Data centers and semiconductor: chilled water and liquid cooling infrastructure, high-purity process fluid delivery
• Medical imaging, aerospace, and commercial HVAC: cryogenic and vacuum systems, engine test facilities, hospital and institutional piping

The technical problems change substantially from one application to the next.

• Own assigned customer engagements from inquiry through delivery
• Review customer specifications, drawings, and piping isometrics to establish design conditions, including identifying incomplete, ambiguous, or conflicting requirements
• Perform engineering analysis and product selection: pressure containment, thermal and mechanical movement, cycle life, spring rate, thrust and anchor loading, materials compatibility, and applicable code requirements
• Develop and present engineered solutions, including design alternatives and trade-offs, in collaboration with customer engineering teams
• Prepare technically accurate and commercially sound proposals within committed schedules
• Coordinate with Design Engineering, Estimating, Manufacturing, and Quality to confirm that proposed solutions are producible, compliant, and achievable on schedule
• Manage a portfolio of concurrent customer applications at varying stages of development
• Serve as the technical point of contact for manufacturing and quality personnel on assigned orders

Hyspan is hiring multiple Application Engineers at levels ranging from Application Engineer I through Senior Application Engineer. We are building a team with complementary strengths. Candidates are not expected to bring all of the following. Demonstrated strength in any one area is of interest.

Design and analysis. Depth in mechanical design, stress and fatigue analysis, and CAD. Application Engineers who develop proficiency in…
