Flowserve Cookeville, a valve production site, seeks a Lab Engineer. In this role, the candidate will be conducting tests or designing and developing test set-ups to support all aspects of operations at this facility. The lab professional will be expected to perform and document the tests with minimal supervision and oversight. Testing can cover a very broad range of different processes that may include temperature, pressure, torque, fluid leakage, and fire testing. This role may assist engineering in multiple ways to aide in product evaluation, improvement and development. This role will also be considered as a lab leader and must be able to provide self-direction in the absence of the lab supervisor.

Responsibilities:
