We are hiring a Designer – Subsea to join our Subsea Engineering team. This role is responsible for the 3D CAD modeling, drafting, and geometric definition of Subsea Production Systems (SPS), Subsea Intervention Systems, high-pressure Cluster Manifolds, structural architectures, and complex Subsea Connection/Tie-In Systems. The ideal candidate will bring strong SolidWorks and AutoCAD expertise along with experience supporting the design and manufacturing of subsea equipment.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain complex 3D CAD assemblies and detailed components for Subsea Trees, Subsea Intervention Systems, Cluster Manifolds, and associated structural systems using SolidWorks.
- Model Subsea Connection System components, including collet connectors, multi-bore hub interfaces, pull-in/connection tooling, rigid pipe jumpers, and PLETs/PLEMs.
- Generate design envelopes, part reports, and geometric documentation required for product qualification.
- Manage interface stack-ups and space-claim layouts to minimize structural and dimensional interference risks.
- Create detailed manufacturing drawings from 3D models in compliance with API 17D, API 17G, API 6A, ASME Section VIII, and customer specifications.
- Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure manufacturability and functional performance.
- Perform visual design integrity reviews and tolerance stack-up analyses prior to engineering release.
- Maintain CAD metadata, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and configuration controls within the Product Data Management (PDM) system.
- Support fabrication, assembly, and testing activities by implementing engineering changes, resolving NCRs, and updating design documentation.
- Incorporate design modifications resulting from FEA studies, root cause analyses, and continuous product improvement initiatives.
- Collaborate with engineers, project teams, fabrication facilities, and global stakeholders to deliver high-quality design solutions.
Requirements:
- Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, Drafting/Design Technology, or a related discipline.
- Minimum of 5+ years of progressive 3D modeling and mechanical drafting experience within the upstream Oil & Gas industry.
- Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
- Experience designing Subsea Production Systems (SPS), Subsea Intervention Systems, manifolds, subsea structures, or related equipment.
- Strong knowledge of API 17D, API 17G, API 6A, ASME Section VIII, and manufacturing drafting standards.
- Demonstrated experience applying GD&T and tolerance stack-up methodologies.
- Ability to interpret engineering calculations and translate technical requirements into buildable designs.
- Experience working with BOMs, PDM systems, and engineering change management processes.
- Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills.
- Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) or Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE) certification is highly preferred.
