At TDW we put people first - that means working everyday to ensure the pipelines that run through our communities are operating safely and reliably. What sets us apart is our expertise, experience and commitment.

Each day we dedicate ourselves to treating each other, our customers and our community with care and respect.

Overview

Responsible for using mechanical engineering principles to design, develop, customize, implement, test and/or sustain TDW products and services solutions for customer applications. This is an individual contributor role that works under the guidance of more senior engineers and collaborates with individuals from other engineering specialties to solve specific engineering issues as defined.

Key Responsibilities

Primary duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Applies knowledge of engineering principles to assist in design of components, products, tests and systems.
• Assists with documenting design calculations, tolerance analysis, concept development, 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and details design activities.
• Assists in the creation of product documents (e.g. build and/or operating/maintenance manuals).
• Assists with engineering change requests that provide needed improvements to documentation and design.
• Assists with estimating durations for application development, assists with prototype assemblies and validation processes and meets deadlines.
