Design Engineer

Schedule/Environment: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., business-casual setting.

Our client is a long-standing provider of precision fluid and instrumentation solutions supporting high-impact sectors such as power generation, petrochemical, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing. As part of an ongoing expansion, they are adding a skilled Design Engineer to their Corpus Christi engineering hub. This role will bridge customer concepts and manufacturable designs, driving projects from initial requirements through production while working alongside sales, field service, and fabrication teams.

• Translate customer requirements into detailed Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), 3D models, and fabrication drawings for tubing, valve, and instrumentation assemblies.
• Perform engineering calculations for pressure, flow, and material compatibility to verify safety and reliability.
• Lead design reviews, generate bills of material, and enter configurations into ERP/CRM systems to support quoting and production.
• Provide on-site technical support during fabrication, testing, and installation; regional travel estimated at 25 – 40 percent, with higher frequency during the first 12 – 18 months.
• Manage several concurrent projects, maintaining schedule, quality, and budget targets while coordinating with internal and external stakeholders.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians on best practices for design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA).

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Chemical, or related Engineering field.
• Three or more years designing fluid-control or process-instrumentation products or systems; experience with pump seal support equipment is a plus.
• Proficiency with Solid Works (or comparable CAD), plus experience generating P&IDs and fluid schematics.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to tailor technical information to diverse audiences.
• Working knowledge of project-management tools and business systems such as SAP, CRM, or business-intelligence platforms.
• Ability to lift 25 – 35 lbs routinely and up to 50 lbs occasionally.
• Reliable transportation for regional customer and site visits.

• Familiarity with industry codes (ASME B31.3, API 682, or similar).
• Background in oil & gas, power generation, or semiconductor facility projects.
• Exposure to CFD or FEA for pressure-containing components.
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus discretionary performance bonus.
• Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) and long-term disability insurance, with voluntary short-term and life options.
• Paid holidays and generous paid-time-off program.
• 401(k) with employer match to support long-term financial goals.

You will be part of a collaborative, growth-oriented team that empowers engineers to own the full product life-cycle, from concept through delivery. If you thrive on solving complex fluid-system challenges and enjoy seeing your designs go from screen to shop floor, we want to meet you.
