Summary of

Role:

Under minimum supervision, applies functional specifications and uses engineering tools to design hardware, electronic circuits, control systems or algorithms for product changes and new development. Generates a road map of detailed activities from a high level specification and collaborates with the rest of the design team ensuring that development milestones and deadlines are met. Uses software tools or applications to perform routine analysis to predict performance of electronic circuits or control systems and identifies design improvements by evaluating results. Contributes to reliability analysis such as risk assessments and Failure Mode Effects Analysis by compiling and examining data. Identifies the testing requirement at a system level with the emphasis on complying with test standards and Halliburton’s Health, Safety, and Environment procedures. Works as integral part of multi-discipline team including project management, mechanical engineering, assembly and test, and software teams.
