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 Requirements POSITION REQUIREMENTS: Preferred Background - Gas lift manufacturing - Artificial lift product development - Flow-control or valve manufacturing - Downhole completion equipment - Oilfield precision manufacturing - High-pressure or erosive service applications Position Characteristics - Hands-on and solutions-oriented - Comfortable in both engineering and manufacturing environments - Driven by product quality and long-term reliability - Capable of balancing innovation with practical manufacturability - Interested in building systems, teams, and scalable processes - not simply maintaining existing products WORK ENVIRONMENT: Work environment is typically considered in an office and warehouse, within a ELS location during normal or extended business hours. Work environment may also include employee's residence, customer site & meeting venues, extensive time off site while traveling or to other location as required.
