The Junior Valve Design Engineer will assist in the design, modeling, and testing of valve systems used in fluid, gas, or thermal control applications. This role provides exposure to the full product development lifecycle, including design, drafting, documentation, and prototype evaluation, under the guidance of senior engineers.
Support in creating 3D CAD models and detailed 2D drawings of valve components and assemblies.
Assist in design calculations for pressure, flow, and mechanical performance.
Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback into engineering revisions.
Help in preparing Bills of Materials (BOMs), specifications, and other technical documentation.
Collaborate with prototyping and testing teams to support early-stage validation.
Assist in failure analysis, design changes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Follow engineering standards, best practices, and company procedures in all designs.
CAD Modeling & Drafting: Generate accurate valve component models and engineering drawings using software like SolidWorks, Creo, or AutoCAD.
Design Support: Contribute to design layout, dimensioning, tolerance analysis, and stack-up assessments.
Fluid & Thermal Basics: Understand fundamental principles of flow, pressure drop, and heat impact on valve design.
Documentation: Create and maintain design files, BOMs, and revision history in PLM systems.
Collaboration & Learning: Work with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to gain practical knowledge of manufacturing, materials, and testing.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Internship or academic project experience in mechanical design preferred.
Familiarity with valve systems, seals, materials, and standard design practices is a plus.
Basic understanding of FEA/CFD tools is advantageous but not mandatory.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn.
Proficient in MS Office and basic project tracking tools.
