LoF Senior Design Engineer
Are you passionate about delivering standardized, high‑quality engineering design solutions?
Would you like to lead disciplined, modular design practices for intervention tooling across the Life of Field portfolio?
Join our team
Baker Hughes is a global energy‑technology company operating in more than 120 countries. Our Subsea and Intervention teams deliver critical tooling and systems that support safe, reliable, and efficient offshore operations throughout the asset lifecycle. The Life of Field (LoF) organization plays a key role in ensuring consistency, quality, and scalability across intervention tooling design activities.
Partner with the best
As a LoF Senior Design Engineer, you will provide consistent, standardized engineering design support across intervention tooling activities. This role is critical in reducing regional variation and eliminating ad‑hoc design approaches by establishing disciplined, repeatable, and modular design practices. Working under the direction of Principal and Application Engineers, you will act as a senior CAD authority with strong conceptual engineering capability, deep familiarity with Baker Hughes VGS tools, and a rigorous approach to configuration management.
As a LoF Senior Design Engineer, you will be responsible for:
Design Governance & Standards
- Ensuring all design activities comply with Baker Hughes design standards, work instructions, and best practices.
- Improving consistency, quality, and repeatability of design outputs across LoF and Intervention support activities.
- Acting as a senior CAD authority, setting expectations for modelling discipline, design structure, and documentation quality.
Model‑Based & Modular Design Leadership
- Leading Model‑Based Design activities for new‑build OWIRS systems from concept through detailed engineering.
- Aligning designs with Baker Hughes design, manufacturing, and quality processes.
- Embedding modularity and configurability into new‑build designs, ensuring standard interfaces, tolerances, and module interchangeability.
- Supporting the development and maturation of standardized design “building blocks” to enable scalable modular solutions.
Project & Commercial Support
- Providing CAD leadership for commercial tenders, including rapid turnaround of GA drawings, schematics, and system‑level configurations.
- Releasing detailed engineering drawings for project‑specific adapters, TRTs, spools, and interfaces in line with client requirements.
- Supporting vessel integration activities for Integrated Solutions projects, including deck layouts, tower and cursor system integration, and interface alignment between vessel, tower, and OWIRS equipment.
Fuel your passion
To be successful in this role, you will:
- Be conscientious, flexible, versatile, and determined.
- Communicate assertively and positively within technical and cross‑functional environments.
- Work effectively within global teams and adapt to changing work demands.
- Bring extensive experience as a CAD Designer / Draughtsperson in an engineering or manufacturing environment.
- Demonstrate a strong background in conceptual engineering through detailed design.
- Have hands‑on experience with Baker Hughes VGS tools and drawing standards.
- Possess proven experience in configuration management and controlled design environments.
Nice to have:
- Experience supporting offshore, vessel‑based, or intervention systems.
- Understanding of manufacturing practices and design for manufacturability principles.
