- Bachelor or Master degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Four relevant mechanical engineering experience, ideally in subsea, offshore, oil and gas, marine, aerospace, defence, or other high–reliability environments.
- Strong experience with 3D CAD and 2D engineering drawings.
- Experience with FEA and simulation tools.
- Understanding of pressure–rated designs, sealing systems, materials, and corrosion.
- Experience with subsea equipment such as connectors, umbilicals, jumpers, manifolds or subsea trees is highly desirable.
- Strong analytical, problem–solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
