Gas Lift Product Engineering Manager

Description:

Gas Lift Product Engineering Manager

Position Summary

Endurance Lift Solutions is seeking an experienced Gas Lift Product Engineering Manager to lead the engineering development and manufacturing scale-up of a growing gas lift product line. This role will serve as a critical technical leadership position responsible for product design, manufacturing engineering, reliability improvement, quality standardization, and long-term product strategy across gas lift valves, mandrels, flow-control equipment, and related artificial lift technologies. The ideal candidate combines strong engineering fundamentals with real-world manufacturing and field experience — someone capable of improving both product reliability and manufacturing scalability while helping establish a premium, US-manufactured gas lift platform. This is a high-impact opportunity to help build and shape a rapidly expanding artificial lift division with direct influence on product direction, manufacturing standards, and future technology initiatives.

Core Responsibilities

Product Engineering & Development

- Lead engineering development of gas lift valves, mandrels, and related completion equipment

- Support new product development initiatives focused on performance, reliability, and manufacturability

- Develop and improve mechanical designs, seal systems, flow paths, trim materials, and erosion-resistant features

- Evaluate product performance and implement design improvements based on field feedback and failure analysis

- Assist with development of next-generation optimization and automation initiatives tied to artificial lift systems

Manufacturing Engineering

- Develop manufacturing specifications, assembly procedures, and inspection standards

- Support machining tolerance development and manufacturability improvements

- Work closely with operations and manufacturing teams to improve production efficiency and repeatability

- Assist in fixture development, process standardization, and workflow optimization

- Coordinate with vendors, machine shops, coating providers, and outside manufacturing partners

Quality & Reliability

- Support root-cause failure analysis and corrective action initiatives

- Improve pressure integrity, sealing reliability, and long-term valve performance

- Develop quality standards and technical acceptance criteria

- Support testing procedures, validation programs, and reliability improvement efforts

- Assist with material selection and sour-service compatibility considerations

Technical Leadership

- Serve as a technical resource for field operations, sales teams, and customers

- Support troubleshooting and operator-facing technical discussions

- Mentor engineering and technical personnel as the division grows

- Assist in development of engineering documentation, drawings, BOMs, and revision control systems

Preferred Qualifications

- 10+ years of gas lift engineering, manufacturing, or product development experience

- Strong understanding of gas lift valves, mandrels, unloading behavior, and artificial lift systems

- Experience supporting oilfield manufacturing and precision machining environments

- Familiarity with NACE standards, sour-service applications, and pressure-containing equipment

- Experience with reliability improvement, failure analysis, and manufacturing process optimization

- Strong mechanical aptitude with practical field troubleshooting experience

- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment
