Job description
Electrical / Electronics Engineer
Who We Are
We design and manufacture industry-leading directional drilling electronics and software used in some of the harshest environments on earth. Our products help customers drill smarter, faster, and more reliably.
We invest in our customers because their success is our success. We care deeply about our craft and are committed to delivering exceptional products, support, and experiences.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a hands-on electrical/electronics engineer who can take designs from schematic through commercialization. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving hard problems, working close to the hardware, and seeing their designs perform in the real world.
Design
You will be involved in the design of downhole electronics and surface systems, working on new technology and R&D projects that push the limits of what is possible. Your work may include schematic capture, PCB layout, testing, validation, and field support for new products and technologies.
Engineering Production Support
Our production line needs engineering insight. You’ll troubleshoot electronics, learn how MWD sensors are calibrated, and help improve manufacturing and test processes. Your contributions will directly impact the quality and reliability of our products, while providing critical feedback to the engineering team on issues seen in production and in the field.
Failure Analysis
The only way to make something better is to understand why it failed. You will perform in-depth failure analysis, determine root causes, and help implement corrective actions. Because we take customer support seriously, there may be times when you travel to customer locations to troubleshoot issues on-site.
Growth
Expect to learn a lot. We are constantly pushing ourselves and our technology forward. We frequently prototype and test new concepts in the lab, then take products from early development through full-scale field deployment.
Qualifications
Minimum of 10 years of professional experience as an electrical/electronics engineer, ideally in industrial electronics
Experience with downhole and high-temperature electronics is a plus
Experience with MWD electronics is a plus
Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacturing support
Experience performing in-depth failure analysis and system troubleshooting
Ability to solve challenging technical problems and make sound engineering recommendations
Understanding of how to balance quality, reliability, and urgency
Duties
Design R&D electronics for new drilling technologies involving sensors, signal processing, embedded systems, and related hardware
Provide sustaining engineering and manufacturing support for existing product lines
Troubleshoot electronics, calibrations, and manufacturing processes
Perform in-depth failure analysis and support corrective actions
Travel occasionally for customer support, troubleshooting, or field investigations
Application prep
Use the role’s language and application details while tailoring your materials.
