The role is centered on customer-facing technical success: understanding production questions, applying Max Production workflows, supporting adoption, and carrying work through operating use.
The candidate should bring meaningful depth in either production and artificial-lift operations or digital, automation, data, and industrial software, with the ability and interest to learn across the other area.
The role coordinates with specialists in software engineering, platform architecture, advanced optimization, product management, and field operations rather than requiring one person to own every discipline.
Build a practical understanding of assigned customers, assets, lift systems, stakeholders, workflows, priorities, and open technical questions. Keep priorities, decisions, commitments, and next actions clear.
Work with customer engineers to investigate production behavior, data questions, artificial-lift operation, and optimization opportunities. Use Max Production to turn operating questions into structured work and practical recommendations.
Support trials, onboarding, training, technical reviews, adoption, operating decisions, and follow-up. Help customers incorporate useful Max Production workflows into daily engineering and operations.
Connect customer needs to Product, Engineering, Support, field personnel, artificial-lift specialists, and 24/7 Engineering and Optimization Services. Provide the context needed for those teams to contribute effectively.
Help resolve data quality, connectivity, configuration, access, performance, and product issues. Document business impact, coordinate escalation, communicate clearly, and confirm the customer’s resolution or next plan.
Track progress around visibility, decision quality, response time, workflow adoption, operational consistency, and service coverage. Support renewal and expansion discussions with credible technical and usage evidence.
Identify opportunities to expand customer value through applicable Max Production features, upgrades, modules, or services. Coordinate with Sales and Account management to support recommendations and customer conversations when those opportunities align with the customer’s needs and operating priorities.
Capture product feedback, workflow gaps, integration needs, and release impacts. Bring relevant improvements and product guidance back to customers in a clear, useful form.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, energy technology, or a related technical field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
Three or more years of experience in production engineering, artificial lift, customer success engineering, technical account management, industrial automation, SCADA, IIoT, SaaS implementation, or a related role.
Meaningful depth in at least one relevant area: upstream production and artificial lift, or digital and industrial technology such as automation, data, APIs, cloud applications, or software-enabled services.
Experience working directly with customers or internal technical stakeholders to investigate problems, explain recommendations, support implementation, or improve operating workflows.
Strong communication, structured problem solving, sound judgment, and consistent follow-through across customers and internal teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with ESPs or other artificial-lift systems, production surveillance, well-performance analysis, nodal or IPR analysis, pump-performance evaluation, or set-point optimization.
Experience with PLCs, VFDs, SCADA, industrial protocols, historian data, APIs, databases, cloud applications, or customer-facing analytics platforms.
Experience with software testing, feature feedback, release communication, workflow definition, or product improvement; formal product-management experience is not required.
Experience supporting customer adoption, technical reviews, renewals, expansion discovery, or value-realization programs.

Mid Level Production Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level production engineer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just execution. Highlight projects where you drove decisions, improved yields, reduced downtime, or solved recurring process failures with minimal supervision. Tailor your resume to show measurable outcomes rather than task lists, and be specific about the equipment, processes, or production systems you have worked with. Recruiters at this level are screening for engineers who run things, not just support them.
Which companies hire mid level production engineers?
Companies hiring mid level production engineers right now include Jump Operations, American Battery Technology Company, and NOV, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad range of employers, including large manufacturers, consumer goods producers, industrial equipment makers, and companies scaling their operations who need engineers who can work independently.
Are there remote mid level production engineer jobs?
Yes, though most production engineer roles remain tied to a physical facility. About 0% of mid level production engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be process engineering, continuous improvement, or technical program roles where on-floor presence is less constant. If flexibility matters to you, filter for hybrid postings and read the location requirements carefully before applying.
How do I move up to a mid level production engineer role?
The jump from entry level to mid level comes from accumulating ownership, not just time. Engineers who reach mid level typically have led a process improvement project, managed a line change or equipment qualification, and demonstrated that they can diagnose and resolve problems without constant supervision. Building depth in a specific area, such as lean manufacturing, equipment maintenance, or quality systems, and showing measurable impact on throughput or cost, is what makes the progression stick.
Which industries hire the most mid level production engineers?
Mid Level production engineer roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Energy, and Investment & Asset Management, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run high-volume, process-intensive operations where engineers who can independently improve efficiency, reduce waste, and maintain output quality deliver direct impact on the bottom line.
