Day to Day:
We are partnering with a leading technology company in the energy sector to identify a talented Product Development Engineer to join their Seal Technology group based in Houston, TX. This role sits within a dedicated R&D and New Product Development (NPD) team, offering the opportunity to work on cutting-edge seal technology solutions in a highly collaborative, lab-focused environment. The ideal candidate will bring strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, current hands-on seal experience, and excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate across global teams. If you believe you are the right fit for the role, we welcome you to apply!
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop new seal products and technologies as part of the organization's R&D and New Product Development (NPD) initiatives
- Perform advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate seal performance, material behavior, and structural integrity under various operating conditions
- Execute engineering calculations to support product design validation, failure analysis, and design optimization
- Collaborate with cross-functional global teams, including application engineering and testing counterparts, to ensure seamless product development lifecycle execution
- Conduct and support laboratory testing activities to validate new seal designs and document results against performance specifications
- Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation including design reports, test plans, specifications, and technical analyses
- Identify and resolve complex engineering challenges related to seal performance in oil and gas applications, applying sound mechanical engineering principles
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts within the seal technology group by evaluating emerging materials, manufacturing methods, and design approaches
Must-Have Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering required (advanced business degrees such as MBA do not satisfy this requirement)
- 3+ years of experience in the oil and gas industry in a product development or mechanical engineering capacity
- 3+ years of current or recent hands-on experience with seal technology (seals must be an active part of current or most recent role — historical experience alone is not sufficient)
- 3+ years of proficiency with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software applied to mechanical components or assemblies
- Strong foundational knowledge of mechanical engineering principles including stress analysis, material science, and fluid mechanics
- 2+ years of demonstrated ability to perform independent engineering calculations for design validation and performance analysis
- Ability to work onsite Monday through Thursday (4 days per week) at the client's Houston-area facility near Atascasita
