Goodwin Recruiting, Northbrook, IL, United States
A well‑established manufacturer of fluid handling and filtration equipment is seeking an experienced Centrifugal Pump Design Engineer to join their engineering team. This is a hands‑on role focused on designing and optimizing pump products for a range of applications including industrial processes, agricultural irrigation, dewatering, and marine systems.
What You’ll Do
Design and optimize centrifugal pump hydraulics (impellers, diffusers, and volute casings) for efficiency and performance
Perform mechanical design of rotating and stationary components with a focus on structural integrity and service life
Use SolidWorks and CFD tools to model pump performance and simulate flow conditions
Build and test prototypes; analyze results and iterate on design
Investigate field or test issues, conduct root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions
Collaborate cross-functionally to support new product development and production transition
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
5+ years of hands‑on centrifugal pump design experience
Strong foundation in fluid mechanics, hydraulic principles, cavitation, and NPSH
Proficiency in SolidWorks; CFD simulation experience a strong plus
Experience designing impellers, volutes, shafts, seals, bearings, and housings
Familiarity with plastic injection molding is a bonus
