When you join Parker Hannifin’s Parflex Division, you are not just working on hoses and tubing, you are helping power the systems behind some of the most important vehicles, machines, and technologies in the world. At our Fort Worth, Texas facility, we focus on innovation, safety, and purpose-driven work. We offer stability, great benefits, and the satisfaction of building parts that truly make a difference.

Under direct supervision, the Manufacturing Engineer I is an entry level role that assists with designing, implementing, and reviewing manufacturing processes, procedures, and equipment.
