Engineer (Design / Mechanical / Energetics)

About This Role

This role is for an Engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, energetics, or explosive systems, who will lead projects from concept to final product, including design, testing, and field validation.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate within the engineering team to meet objectives and support innovation goals
• Take full ownership of assigned projects from concept development through prototyping, testing, and final release
• Evaluate technical challenges and develop solutions that meet product performance, timeline, cost, and manufacturability requirements
• Present design concepts, clearly defining the problem, proposed solution, benefits, risks, cost analysis, and time-to-market projections
• Generate and manage complete technical documentation, including 2D/3D drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, and field-ready manuals
• Develop and execute test plans; perform failure analysis, iterate design improvements, and validate tools through qualification testing
• Assemble and test prototypes in-house, ensuring designs meet real-world application demands before deployment
• Provide training, support, and cross-departmental communication regarding tool assembly, function, and safe operation
• Investigate and resolve issues through review/disposition of Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs); implement corrective actions as needed
• Process Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), maintaining documentation integrity and revision control throughout the product lifecycle
• Travel to customer field locations to support tool deployment, conduct field tests, and gather performance feedback

Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of engineering experience, preferably in mechanical design, explosives, energetics, or downhole tool development
• Proficient in CAD software (SolidWorks preferred), with experience in file management and revision control systems
• Skilled in the use of hand tools, mechanical lab equipment
• Capable of reading and troubleshooting hydraulic and minor electrical circuit diagrams
• Knowledge of test systems and data acquisition methods for pressure, temperature, displacement, force, voltage, and current
• Strong mechanical aptitude with a proven ability to take projects from concept to completion with minimal supervision
• Self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast-paced, hands-on team environment
• Ability to lift 25/50/80/100 pounds regularly
• Ability to respond quickly to sounds and flashing lights
• Ability to work in extreme weather
• Ability to wear personal protective equipment correctly

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is preferred, but not required
• Minimum of 5 years of engineering experience, preferably in mechanical design, explosives, energetics, or downhole tool development
