Position Summary
This is a highly technical hybrid role that combines application engineering with process system design.

  • Develop process flow diagrams (PFDs) and assist the design team with general arrangement and layout drawings

  • Build and refine cost models, parts databases, and quote templates for accuracy and efficiency
System Design & Engineering

  • Design complete water filtration systems, including component selection, materials, layout, and performance analysis

  • Support development of piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and ensure accurate integration of control elements and instrumentation

  • Ensure that all systems meet customer performance requirements, internal quality standards, and relevant regulatory guidelines

  • Select appropriate pumps, valves, filters, and instrumentation based on chemical compatibility, flow requirements, and durability

  • Create part numbers, order data sheets, and BOMs to support order entry and procurement

  • Conduct technical kickoff meetings and collaborate with engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing teams during the project handoff
Project & Customer Support

  • Deliver product training and technical presentations to reps, OEM customers, and engineers as needed

  • Support new orders through manufacturing, testing, and delivery, working closely with cross-functional stakeholders

  • Maintain strong communication with customers to ensure clarity on scope, expectations, and technical questions

  • Review contractor reports and system feedback to inform continuous improvement and long-term support

  • Contribute to application and product knowledge sharing within the team
Qualifications
Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Environmental, or Chemical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

  • 3–5 years of experience in water treatment system design, process engineering, or technical applications engineering

  • Strong understanding of hydraulic calculations, pressure loss analysis, and component sizing

  • Proficiency with 3D CAD and process design tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD P&ID, etc.)

  • Familiarity with process equipment (pumps, valves, sensors, tanks, etc.) and system integration

  • Strong technical writing skills for proposals, test plans, and design documentation

  • Excellent communication skills and cross-functional collaboration abilities

Preferred

  • Experience with filtration, RO, DI, or similar water treatment technologies

  • Understanding of industry standards (e.g., UL, CSA, ANSI, ASME)

  • Prior work in hybrid technical/commercial roles supporting engineered systems
Work Environment

  • Hybrid: 2 days in-office, 3 remote (5 days onsite during first 3 months)

  • Occasional travel (up to 10%) for trade shows, customer visits, or team meetings

  • Use of standard office equipment and engineering software tools

  • May occasionally lift up to 20 lbs when working with prototypes or assemblies
