Location: Work From Home, XX - Home Office, United States, n/a The Application Engineer — Screw Compressors is responsible for developing technically sound Howden screw compressor offerings across refrigeration and hydrocarbon processing applications. This role bridges the gap between a customer's process requirements and a fully specified, commercially priced compressor solution — and does so with enough process engineering depth to define and optimize the refrigeration cycle, not just size a machine to a given inlet condition. What Will You Do? Review customer equipment requirements, specifications, and process conditions to determine appropriate application of screw compressor technology. Perform engineering analysis and equipment selection to ensure compressors and associated systems meet customer requirements, company engineering standards, and applicable industry codes. Develop technically sound compressor offerings from concept through proposal submission with minimal technical supervision. Prepare technical proposals including compressor selections, performance data, technical descriptions, and supporting documentation. Work closely with Sales to support customer engagement, including technical discussions, clarification meetings, and specification review. Collaborate with compressor package partners, system integrators, and internal engineering teams to ensure successful integration of bare shaft compressors into packaged systems. Evaluate supplier capabilities and coordinate with internal resources for additional components or subsystems. Ensure proposals contain clear and accurate scope definitions to support a smooth transition from sales to project execution. Provide technical feedback from market engagement and project experience to support continuous improvement of products, processes, and tools.
