Applications Engineer

Applications Engineer

Flowserve is seeking an adaptive, detail-oriented Applications Engineer to join our team at the Pasadena Quick Response Center (QRC). This role acts as a critical technical and commercial bridge, reviewing client requirements and developing accurate, high-quality quotes for industrial equipment repairs and infrastructure projects.

Whether your strengths lean toward the commercial/sales side of engineering or you prefer diving deep into technical drawings, P&IDs, and specifications, this role offers a wide-open spectrum for growth. We are highly focused on internal development and welcome candidates with a strong foundation in shop operations, technical planning, or heavy equipment repairs who are ready to transition into a strategic engineering environment.

• Quotation Generation:
  Review customer service requests, analyze equipment conditions, and develop comprehensive, accurate commercial quotes for pump and flow-control components.
• Technical Interpretation:
  Review customer documentation, mechanical specifications, and system layouts to ensure solutions align perfectly with operational demands.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner closely with internal shop operations, QRC production planners, and field sales teams to ensure a seamless handoff from initial quote to final assembly.
• Client Engagement:
  Serve as a technical point of contact for clients, answering application questions and refining technical scopes as project dynamics change.

• The Right
  
  Experience:
  
  Practical experience in heavy industrial equipment scheduling, planning, or repairs is highly valued.
  
  Note:
  
  Production Planners with a strong background in pump/rotating equipment overhauls are highly encouraged to apply.
• Educational Background:
  An engineering background is a plus, but a formal, technical Mechanical Engineering degree is not required for this position. Equivalent hands-on industry experience is fully accepted.
• Technical/Commercial Balance:
  Ability to operate comfortably across a broad professional spectrum—from reviewing P&IDs and technical schematics to supporting client-facing commercial discussions.
• Communication
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong collaborative mindset with the ability to clearly communicate technical details to both shop floor technicians and corporate clients.

• Proven Career Pathing:
  This seat has a track record of success as a transition role for high-performing internal talent looking to build a long-term corporate engineering career.
• Work-Life Balance:
  Enjoy the stability of a collaborative, local shop team paired with the modern flexibility of a hybrid work schedule (Fridays from home).
• Comprehensive Benefits:
  Competitive compensation package alongside day-one corporate health, retirement, and wellness benefits.
