Mechanical Engineer / Pressure Vessel Engineer / ASME Engineer
Greater Knoxville, TN | Full-Time | On-Site
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.

401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays
Opportunity to work on ASME pressure vessel design and certification
Growth opportunity from mid-level engineer to senior / leadership role
Stable, established manufacturing environment
What You’ll Be Doing
Design and analyze pressure vessels and mechanical systems in accordance with ASME Section VIII and B31 piping codes
Prepare and review engineering calculations, drawings, and specifications
Support projects from concept through fabrication and inspection
Ensure compliance with codes, standards, and regulations
Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and project teams
Provide technical guidance and mentorship (senior role)
Conduct failure analysis and implement corrective actions
