Material Selection & Environmental Design
- Select appropriate materials for completion tool applications, including:
- High-strength alloy steels
- Corrosion-resistant alloys (Inconel, Monel, duplex/super duplex stainless steels)
- Elastomers and sealing materials for downhole environments
- Design for challenging conditions:
- High pressure / high temperature (HPHT)
- Sour service (H₂S) per NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156
- Corrosion, erosion, and wear
Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Support
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are efficient and producible
- Support CNC machining process development, including:
- Complex geometries and tight tolerances
- Material-specific machining considerations
- Provide input on and support additive manufacturing applications where applicable
- Review and disposition design-related non-conformances (NCRs)
- Support assembly, fit-up, and first article builds
Testing & Field Support
- Develop and support testing of completion tools, including:
- Pressure testing and seal validation
- Functional testing and cycling
- Load testing and qualification testing
- Interpret test results and recommend design improvements
- Provide engineering support during tool testing, troubleshooting, and failure investigations
Standards & Compliance
- Design in accordance with:
- API standards (as applicable to completion tools)
- ASME, ASTM, and material specifications
- Customer-specific requirements
- Ensure all designs meet quality, safety, and documentation requirements
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 3–8+ years of mechanical design experience in oilfield equipment
- Direct experience designing completion tools strongly preferred
- Proven professional experience using SolidWorks
Technical Skills
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including:

- Sealing systems and pressure-containing components
- Materials and heat treatment
- Working knowledge of:
- CNC machining processes and constraints
- Additive manufacturing principles and applications
- Testing methods for downhole tools
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with:
- CNC machining processes and shop interaction
- Additive manufacturing for prototyping or production components
- Design and execution of tool testing and validation programs
- Familiarity with:
- Elastomer and sealing design for downhole applications
- HPHT and sour service environments
- Experience working in API Q1 / ISO 9001 quality systems
Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- High attention to detail and engineering rigor
- Effective communication across engineering, manufacturing, and testing teams
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Work Environment
- Office-based design role with frequent interaction in shop and test environments
- Regular involvement in assembly, testing, and troubleshooting activities
- Exposure to manufacturing operations and test facilities
