About Testing and Subsea
Testing & Subsea provides well testing, reservoir evaluation, and subsea safety systems that validate reservoir potential and ensure operational integrity. With innovative tools and real-time data, we help customers reduce risk, optimize production, and maintain control from exploration to abandonment.
About the Role
Under general supervision, the R D Electrical Engineer (Senior) serves as a technical lead supporting the design, development, validation, and commercialization of electrical systems for downhole and subsea tools. This role focuses on ensuring performance, reliability, and environmental survivability of electronics operating in high-pressure, high-temperature, and harsh offshore conditions. At the Principal and Advisor levels, the role expands to include broader technical leadership, system architecture influence, and mentorship across complex development programs.
Key Responsibilities
Lead electrical and electronics development for downhole and subsea tools, including analog, mixed-signal, sensor interface, power regulation, and control circuitry.
Architect and own PCB designs from requirements through production release, including schematic development, component selection, and layout review for manufacturability and environmental durability.
Perform circuit analysis and simulation (e.g., SPICE/LTSpice) to validate performance, signal integrity, EMI/EMC robustness, and reliability in HPHT and subsea environments.
Apply best practices for grounding, filtering, noise reduction, protection circuitry, and insulation coordination to ensure survivability in harsh operating conditions.
Lead hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, and troubleshooting using laboratory instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power analyzers).
Develop and execute verification, qualification, environmental, EMC, and reliability test plans to support product commercialization.
Identify technical risks and drive mitigation strategies across the full product development lifecycle.
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical (packaging, thermal, grounding), firmware (interfaces, timing), systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure integrated tool performance and design-for-manufacturability.
Support failure analysis and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance reliability and field performance.
Ensure Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards are embedded in all design and testing activities.
Contribute innovative and commercially viable solutions that strengthen Halliburton's Intellectual Property portfolio.
Mentor junior engineers and influence technical best practices (Principal and Advisor levels).
Qualifications
Required
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
Minimum 5 years of experience in electrical engineering, R D, or product development.
Experience designing and validating electrical systems.
Hands-on experience with board-level design, bring-up, and debugging.
Ability to apply engineering standards and HSE principles in product development environments.
Preferred
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
Experience designing electronics for downhole, subsea, or other harsh environments.
Exposure to HPHT tool development or offshore systems.
Experience with analog/mixed-signal PCB ownership.
Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, insulation coordination, and environmental qualification.
Experience supporting environmental and reliability testing.
Candidates who possess qualifications exceeding the minimum job requirements may be considered for higher-level positions based on experience, additional qualifications, and current business needs. Depending on education, experience, and skill level, candidates may be eligible for roles ranging from R D Electrical Engineer, Senior to Principal or Advisor.
