Frac Pump Application Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

The Frac Pump Application Engineer will have hands-on ownership of fluid-end and power-end development, working from concept through validation and field performance. If you have designed high-pressure plunger pumps inside an OEM environment and want greater technical ownership over the product platform, this is worth a conversation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute the engineering strategy and technology roadmap for American Jereh’s fracturing, power generation, and well service equipment, aligning with corporate ESG and growth objectives.
• Lead the full product lifecycle for capital equipment (concept, design, analysis, prototyping, testing, certification, production support, and upgrades) ensuring on‑time, on‑budget delivery.
• Drive innovation in mechanical, electrical, controls, and digital systems to enhance reliability, efficiency, and emissions performance of electric and turbine frac fleets and mobile power solutions.
• Establish and continuously improve engineering processes, standards, and tools, including design reviews, risk assessments, configuration management, and documentation control.
• Partner closely with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and service teams in Houston and other sites to optimize designs for manufacturability, cost, quality, and maintainability.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry codes and standards for oilfield and pressure equipment, as well as customer and regulatory requirements in North American and international markets.
• Provide senior technical oversight for major bids, key customer projects, and critical field issues, including root cause analysis and reliability improvement programs.
• Build, lead, and develop a high‑performing, multinational engineering team; define organizational structure, staffing plans, and competency development aligned with American Jereh’s growth.
• Own the engineering budget (people, labs, test assets, tools) and portfolio governance, prioritizing projects that maximize customer value and business impact.
• Represent American Jereh engineering with strategic customers, technology partners, and internal global stakeholders, reinforcing a culture of “focus on customer needs” and “continuous improvement to be the best.”

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Petroleum, or related Engineering discipline from an accredited institution.
• 5 years of experience designing high-pressure reciprocating pump systems, fluid-ends, or power ends. Direct experience with plunger or frac pump platforms
• Experience within an OEM manufacturer of pressure pumping or frac equipment
• Experience with fluid-end mechanical design and validation
• Proven track record leading engineering for complex, high‑horsepower equipment such as fracturing units, turbine or electric fleets, gas turbine gensets, or similar oilfield systems.
• Demonstrated success managing the full lifecycle of multi‑million‑dollar equipment programs from concept through field deployment in North American basins or comparable markets.
• Strong knowledge of applicable standards and practices for pressure equipment, rotating machinery, and mobile power systems used in oil and gas operations.
• Experience partnering with manufacturing and supply chain organizations to deliver cost, quality, and delivery improvements through design optimization.
• Proven ability to build, lead, and develop multidisciplinary engineering teams in a fast‑paced, customer‑driven environment.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, capable of engaging both technical and non‑technical audiences, including executive leadership and strategic customers.

Desired Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Management, or MBA.
• Experience with electric fracturing, direct‑drive turbine fracturing, or other low‑emission, ESG‑focused completion technologies.
• Background in digital oilfield solutions, including remote monitoring, automation, controls, and data analytics for equipment performance and predictive maintenance.
• Familiarity with global oil and gas markets and cross‑cultural collaboration within a multinational organization.
• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or international equivalent
