Design Engineer

The Design Engineer will develop and optimize tooling and fixtures for FGS product manufacturing ensuring designs meet product requirements engineering standards and production needs.

Develop steel tooling and fixture designs based on product drawings manufacturing requirements and process constraints.
Create detailed 2D/3D models assemblies and technical drawings using CAD software (Solidworks/AutoCAD) in compliance with NOV drafting standards.
Prepare error free drawings with attention to detail in drawings tolerances interfaces and critical dimensions.
Perform basic calculations to ensure that the steel mold developed is optimized and fit for application.
Select suitable steel grades materials sections fasteners and fabrication methods based on loading operating conditions cost and availability.
Use FEA/FEM tools such as ANSYS when required to validate structural performance and optimize designs.
Collaborate with manufacturing quality and product development teams to optimize steel mold designs for manufacturability and performance.
Support R&D initiatives prototype development and continuous improvement activities related to composite materials and product design.
