Job Description

Gas Lift Product Engineering Manager

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
