Sr. Mechanical Engineer

Sr. Mechanical Engineer Summary of Position This position is responsible for product design through detail layouts to achieve a workable design or assembly. These designs are mainly related to Wire line and MWD type instruments or some down hole tools. Performs detail analysis of concepts through finite Element Analysis or other means and verifies the design performance through empirical means. Builds prototype designs and verifies their performance through additional teasing. Incorporates the final design into upper assemblies if required and performs final qualification and testing of the overall assembly. Provides novel approaches for engineering new products and suggests improvements to existing product lines. Leads other designers and technicians during the design and development phase of the project. The candidate should be able to design novel ideas from scratch, solve complex problems, perform mechanical calculations, FEA analysis, and has significant experience with downhole tool design. Project engineering experience is also a must. The candidate should be able to take a project from beginning to end with limited guidance from managers. Essential Functions And Duties Develops a detailed understanding of required design through research and study of prior art and available literature. Performs design layout for mechanical parts and assemblies through Auto-Cad or Solid Works. Works with engineering team to select the primary and alternative concepts for prototype development. Conducts detailed analysis and testing to evaluate design approaches. Provides detailed drawings when applicable and leads project designers to complete remaining work to finalize the detail design. Completes the product assembly and evaluates it through final testing. Conducts final design reviews of new products prior to transfer to manufacturing and solicits suggestions for improvement in manufacturing engineering. Ensures that all product‑related information such as BOMs, drawings, procedures, etc. are in place in time for product manufacturing engineering. Conducts failure analysis of existing designs and suggests improvements and design changes. Non-essential Functions And Duties Works with vendors as needed and guides them through final testing. Follows all safety and health guidelines and rules for the company. Follows the 5S procedures for the department. Performs other duties as assigned. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. 12+ years of experience related to mechanical design. Emphasis on Wire line/MWD tools, with specialty in machine design experience.
