Mechanical Engineer

The Staff Product Engineer will be responsible for product line engineering of assigned quarter-turn ball valves.The Staff Product Engineer will identify product configurations and options to meet customer specifications. Additionally, they will coordinate with other engineering resources (GTECBangalore) to complete engineering documentation and will review and approve bills of materials, as well as component and general arrangement drawings. The candidate will address various issues related to product design and manufacturing, including sales and quoting support, production costs, feasibility, quality, performance, reliability, serviceability, and customized user features. Responsibilities will also include product andcomponent design, development, and transitioning the product to manufacturing, along with supporting the sales and service teams in quoting and repairing the product. 

PRIMARY RESPONSBILITIES  

• Ensure engineering design andstandards documentation is complete,accurate, and sufficient in support of global manufacturing and quality assurance activities. This includes generating or checking bills of material, manufacturingdrawings and sales order drawings.  

• Check and approve engineering documentation created by other resources, including GTEC 

• Provide technical and customer service support for new customer inquiries, including the design of special products, technical evaluationsof project sales quotations, application and troubleshootingassistance, and evaluations of returned goods. 

• Communicate between order management, commercial operations,quality and GTEC resources to resolve order issues and answer product questions  

• Supportproduct development and improvement activities addressing manufacturability, material cost,reliability and performance enhancements. 

• Implement engineering best practices and Flowserve standards. 

• Maintain up-to-date awareness of relevant national, international and industry standards andinitiateany product improvementsof modifications to ensure the product line meets these requirements. 

• Support manufacturing andquality in processing orders through the shop floor. 

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE,SKILLS AND ABILITIES  

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent degree. 

• Able tosupport multiple projects simultaneouslyutilizing advanced project management tools, methods, and applications. 

• Must have a high sense of urgency to meet lead-time requirements andprocessing engineering workflow tasks 

• Familiarity with and understanding of various International Standards relating to valves. 

• Computer-Assisted Design/3-Dimensional design, Solidworks and/or Inventor.
