Join Bray International, a global leader in flow control solutions. In this role, you’ll serve as a highly experienced technical leader and trusted advisor who provides deep engineering expertise on high-value, high-complexity projects while coaching and mentoring developing engineers across the organization. This role is intended for accomplished team members in the later stages of their careers who continue to make meaningful technical contributions through hands-on engineering work, technical problem solving, design reviews, and risk reduction activities, while also strengthening organizational capability through knowledge transfer, mentorship, and guidance. The Senior Engineering Advisor supports critical product development, sustaining engineering, and technical investigation efforts, and helps establish sound engineering judgment, best practices, and technical rigor across the team.

Job Responsibilities (with supervisor guidance if needed):

• Provide senior-level engineering leadership and technical execution support for strategically important or technically challenging projects, including new product development, sustaining engineering, design improvements, root cause investigations, and complex problem-solving efforts.
• Apply deep subject matter expertise to guide design decisions, evaluate technical risks, review analyses, and help teams deliver solutions that meet functional, cost, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and safety requirements.
• Serve as a technical coach and mentor to junior and mid-level engineers by sharing practical experience, reviewing work product, helping develop engineering judgment, and accelerating the growth of less experienced team members.
• Support the transfer of institutional knowledge, lessons learned, and best practices across the organization.
• Lead or contribute to engineering studies, investigations, and reports for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Partner effectively with project teams, engineering leaders, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, suppliers, and customers as needed to advance critical initiatives.
• Promote strong engineering discipline, objective communication, and a collaborative approach to solving important technical challenges.
• Help identify and implement methods, tools, and processes that improve technical quality, team capability, and execution effectiveness.

Position Requirements:

• BS or higher degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent engineering field required.
• Typically requires 15+ years of progressive engineering experience in areas such as valve design, mechanical equipment design, product development, design analysis, technical problem solving, and engineering investigations.
• Significant engineering design experience in valves, rotating equipment, or industrial equipment required.
• Demonstrated history of successfully contributing to high-value or high-complexity engineering projects and serving as a technical resource to project teams and engineering leadership.
• Direct working knowledge of applicable industrial codes and standards such as ASME VIII, ASME B16.34, API 609, Pressure Equipment Directive, ASME B16.5, and ASME B16.47 required.

Ideal Experience (Not Minimum Qualifications):

• Recognized technical depth and sound engineering judgment.
• Strong ability to coach, mentor, and develop less experienced engineers through practical guidance, technical review, and knowledge sharing.
• Able to influence technical direction without relying solely on formal authority.
• Skilled in conducting engineering studies and investigations using structured problem-solving tools such as FMEA, root cause analysis, and related methods.
• Strong capability in design review, risk evaluation, and identification of practical solutions.
• Proficient in industry standard CAD systems for design and documentation, and able to effectively use engineering analysis tools such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics software where appropriate.
• Understands and applies design for manufacturability and assembly principles.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Able to work effectively in cross-functional and cross-cultural environments.
• Demonstrates professionalism, collaboration, initiative, and a strong commitment to technical excellence, team development, and successful project outcomes.
