About Us
Mid-State Sales is an ISO 9001:2015-certified supplier of fluid transfer products, serving manufacturers who rely on us for tube and hose assemblies built right the first time. We’re a close-knit team where your work goes straight from the CAD screen to the shop floor to the customer’s equipment, and you’ll see the impact of what you do.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Tube Assembly Product Engineer who enjoys being the bridge between engineering and the customer. You’ll own our relationships with large priority accounts, design and price custom tube and hose assemblies, and help make sure what we build meets our customers’ quality requirements. You’ll report directly to the President, so your ideas will be heard.
If you like solving real-world fit and routing problems, building your own drawings, and working face-to-face with customers, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as the primary sales and service contact for our largest priority accounts
- Prepare quotes, pricing, and price adjustments for tube and hose assemblies
- Design new assemblies from concept through prototype approval and pricing
- Create production and customer drawings in SolidWorks
- Prepare bend cards for production
- Design and source components
- Visit customers on-site and provide field engineering support for tube and hose assembly
- Support field calls and floor inspections as needed
- Help maintain quality requirements at customer sites
- Keep customers and coworkers informed with clear, timely communication
What You Bring
- A one-year certificate from a college or technical school, or 3–6 months of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Working knowledge of SolidWorks (or the ability to get up to speed quickly)
- Solid math skills, including basic algebra and geometry, and comfort with pricing calculations like percentages and discounts
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, procedures, and safety documentation
- Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with customers
- A practical, problem-solving mindset
Nice to Have
- Experience with tube bending, hydraulic hose assemblies, or fluid power products
- Background in a manufacturing or ISO 9001 environment
- Customer-facing sales or account management experience
Work Environment
This is primarily a desk-based role with regular time on the shop floor and at customer sites. You’ll occasionally stand, walk, kneel, or crouch during inspections and field work, and occasionally lift up to 75 lbs. Noise levels are generally moderate.
What We Offer
- Competitive Salary
- Health, vision, and Dental
- 401(k) / retirement plan
- Paid time off and holidays
