Design to ASME Section VIII. Stamp your work. Own the outcome.

Are you a mechanical engineer with deep experience in ASME pressure vessel design who is ready to take ownership of complex engineered systems? This is an opportunity to work on highly specialized equipment where engineering rigor, code compliance, and real-world manufacturing all come together.

This is not a generic design role. You will be designing, analyzing, and supporting pressure vessels and piping systems built to ASME Section VIII standards, working closely with manufacturing, quality, and project teams to bring engineered-to-order products to life.

We are hiring two Mechanical Engineers — one mid-level and one senior — to support continued growth and new product development within a highly specialized manufacturing operation.

My client, a global manufacturer of engineered industrial systems, is seeking Mechanical Engineers to support design, analysis, and certification of pressure vessels and mechanical systems. This is a full-time, on-site role based in the Greater Knoxville, Tennessee area.

This is an opportunity to join a team where your work directly impacts product performance, safety, and compliance — and where experienced engineers have the ability to lead, mentor, and stamp designs.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with company match

Paid time off and holidays

Opportunity to work on ASME pressure vessel design and certification
