  • Hybrid Design Integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate composite components with traditional metal structures, optimizing design configurations for weight reduction, cost efficiency, and reliability.
  • Manufacturing Process Optimization: Work closely with manufacturing engineers to optimize composite manufacturing processes, including layup techniques, curing cycles, and quality control procedures, to achieve consistent and repeatable results.
  • Prototype Development: Lead the fabrication and testing of composite prototypes, analyze test data, and iterate designs to optimize performance and address any design challenges or deficiencies.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Prepare comprehensive design documentation, including material specifications, CAD models, technical reports, and test plans, to document design decisions and facilitate communication with stakeholders.
  • Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential risks associated with composite design and manufacturing processes, proactively addressing issues related to material compatibility, structural integrity, and regulatory compliance.

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in downhole oil & gas equipment design, with a focus on composite materials and structural engineering.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA) and finite element analysis (FEA) tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus) for composite structural analysis.
  • Strong understanding of composite materials and manufacturing processes, including filament winding, resin infusion, and autoclave curing.
  • Experience with composite characterization techniques, such as mechanical testing, thermal analysis, and non-destructive testing (NDT).
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex engineering projects, from concept development through prototyping and commercialization, with a track record of successful product launches.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and present technical concepts to internal and external stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with downhole tool qualification testing according to industry standards (e.g., API, ISO).
  • Knowledge of corrosion protection techniques and coatings for composite materials in aggressive downhole environments.
  • Familiarity with composite failure analysis methods, including fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis.
  • Prior experience in technology transfer and scaling up composite manufacturing processes from laboratory-scale to production-scale.
  • Strong project management skills, including budgeting, resource allocation, and milestone tracking.
