Job Description
The Design Engineer will develop and optimize tooling and fixtures for FGS product manufacturing, ensuring designs meet product requirements, engineering standards, and production needs.
Responsibilities
• 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.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline (Essential). • Good knowledge of steel materials, material properties, grades, and applicable engineering standards. • Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and engineering design principles. Good understanding of how steel structures and components behave under bending, tension, compression, and shear conditions. • Strong knowledge of mechanical design calculations, material selection, load paths, tolerances, fits, and engineering fundamentals. • Ability to perform and validate engineering calculations, including strength, stress, deflection, and basic structural calculation. • Strong understanding and practical application of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T). • Strong understanding of design for manufacturability, fabrication, machining, assembly, maintenance, and operational safety. • Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA/FEM) using ANSYS or similar software is an added advantage. • Flexible and able to respond quickly to multi-task assignments and shifting priorities. • Knowledge of relevant ASME codes and standards applicable to steel structures, tooling, and mechanical design is preferred. • Demonstrated ability to think ahead, anticipate issues, and make sound engineering decisions. • Capable of working with production, manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to resolve tooling and process-related problem. • Experience with composite materials, fiberglass structures, or polymer-based applications is a strong addon • Strong Proficiency in 3D/2D modeling using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, or similar. • Experience in parametric modeling in SolidWorks, including design tables, configurations, equations, and reusable design features, is a strong advantage. • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
