Senior Mechanical Engineer, Mud Pump | Houston, TX (Hybrid) | Direct Hire

Design the pumps that keep oilfield drilling running.

I’m a third-party recruiter running a direct-hire search on behalf of an oilfield equipment manufacturer in Houston. They need a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design and refine mud pumps and other positive displacement equipment. You’d join a team of 6 other engineers working on real hardware, not paperwork.

What you’ll do

  • Design and refine mud pumps, positive displacement pumps, and frac pumps
  • Run stress analysis and tolerance studies on components and systems
  • Build detailed design layouts and drawings
  • Spec and source purchased components
  • Create and run test plans to validate performance
  • Work with cross-functional teams from early concept through final specification

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3+ years of design experience on mud pumps, positive displacement pumps, frac pumps, or similar equipment
  • CAD proficiency (Creo, Inventor, or SolidWorks)
  • FEA experience (Ansys or SolidWorks Simulation)
  • Comfort reading P&ID, electrical, and hydraulic schematics

What’s on offer

  • Pay: $110,000 to $118,000, flexible based on experience
  • Annual bonus potential tied to company performance
  • Hybrid schedule: 3 days in office and 2 at home once you’re fully trained
  • Day schedule with core hours of 9 to 4, and you can start earlier
  • Minimal travel, about once a year domestically
  • Direct-hire, full-time position
