Senior Mechanical Engineer - Applications & Design

Are you an experienced engineering professional ready for the next step in your career—one where you can apply your technical expertise, work directly with customers, and represent a globally recognized premium brand in fluid system solutions?

Swagelok Louisiana is a locally owned company that partners with Swagelok, a global $2B dollar leader in fluid system products and solutions. We offer something that can be hard to find in a large corporation: the opportunity to be highly visible, have a real voice, and make a meaningful impact.

At Swagelok Louisiana, you aren’t just a number. You’ll be an integral member of a strong and growing Engineering team, working across the organization to develop practical engineered solutions for customers in oil and gas, refining, chemical, midstream, power, transportation, and other industrial markets.

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Application Engineer to support the design and delivery of fluid system solutions. This is a hands-on, customer-focused engineering role that combines mechanical design, technical problem solving, product selection, and collaboration with customers and internal teams.

This is a fully onsite role based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Candidates must be able to work onsite Monday through Friday. We are not providing relocation assistance or visa sponsorship for this position.

This is not a software position or an entry-level engineering role.
