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
