Careers - Product Development Engineer

Role: Product Development Engineer
Department: Industrial Sales & Engineering
Reports To: Director of Industrial Sales & Engineering
Salary: DOQ

Fuel Safe Systems is looking for an engineering candidate to interface with customers, determine program requirements, design fuel and fluid containment systems for industrial and defense customers, and manage customer-issued purchase orders. The position requires excellent communication skills, program management skills, and the desire to learn and improve upon the company’s current processes and products.

Prior knowledge of fuel and fluid systems is not a prerequisite, and there will be an expectation of learning on the job. Training will be fully supported by the engineering department and will involve time becoming familiar with the CAD and manufacturing processes, and then the new hire will train through managing customer programs. Ideally, the candidate will be largely self-sufficient six months after their starting date, though full support from the rest of the engineering team will always be available.
