About the role

Ladish Valves, based in Houston, seeks an Engineering Director to lead the full lifecycle of valve design and development, from customer spec to production release. You will set engineering strategy, mentor a multi-disciplinary team, and partner with Sales, Manufacturing and QA to deliver high‑reliability valve solutions. This leadership role requires deep experience with multiple valve types, materials science, and advanced manufacturing processes, with a focus on design-for-manufacturability

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
