Your tasks:

Designing and developing heavy mechanical sub-assemblies for drilling equipment, including welded structures and machined components such as drill masts, mast bases and top drives
Taking full ownership of engineering tasks from concept refinement to detailed SolidWorks design, independent engineering calculations, validation and release of production-ready designs
Performing preliminary structural checks using hand calculations and SolidWorks Simulation and coordinating with the FEA team for detailed analysis
Preparing shop-floor-ready drawings with correct dimensioning, tolerancing, GD&T, welding specifications and assembly clarity, while managing drawing releases, revisions and technical documentation in the PLM system
Supporting prototype development, manufacturing and production by resolving design-related issues, implementing design improvements and ensuring compliance with US engineering standards and manufacturing practices

Your profile:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or comparable qualification, with several years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in heavy engineering equipment, industrial machinery or structural equipment
Strong knowledge of machine and structural design, strength of materials, applied mechanics and finite element methods, with proven experience designing welded structures and heavy load-bearing mechanical assemblies
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks or similar software, including 3D modelling, manufacturing drawings and simulation; experience with imperial units, material standards, hardware selection and power-transmission components such as gearboxes, drives, shafts and bearings is desirable
Knowledge of hydraulic systems, cast component manufacture and mechanism design (kinematics), with experience in drilling equipment or related machinery being an advantage
Able to effectively communicate verbally and in written English
