Working under general supervision, this position supports both new product development and service quality initiatives, ensuring test systems, hardware, and firmware meet performance, reliability, and operational standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate electrical and electronic hardware supporting downhole tools and surface systems.
• Lead and support Manufacturing Test Lab (MTL) systems used for product qualification, verification, and service quality assurance.
• Develop and test analog and digital circuitry, power distribution systems, signal conditioning, and communication interfaces.
• Develop, test, and debug firmware for microprocessor, microcontroller, or DSP-based systems.
• Perform system-level diagnostics and analytical troubleshooting of electrical and electronic subsystems.
• Support design validation, reliability testing, and environmental qualification programs.
• Investigate field returns and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis.
• Develop technical specifications, test procedures, and engineering documentation.
• Apply reliability engineering principles throughout the design and validation process.
• Collaborate with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Field Service teams to ensure seamless product support across the lifecycle.
• Ensure compliance with Halliburton HSE and Service Quality standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related discipline required.
• Minimum 2+ years of experience in electrical/electronic system design, validation, or troubleshooting.
