Responsibilities

  • Lead mechanical design of new pipe preparation tools from concept through production launch
  • define and own tool architecture including structural frames, forming roll systems, hydraulic and mechanical actuation, depth-setting mechanisms, safety guarding, and pipe support systems.
  • Drive mechanical analysis (static, dynamic, FEA, tolerance stack-ups) and design validation to ensure tools meet groove specification requirements (OGS, AGS, IGS) across all rated pipe materials, schedules, and size ranges
  • oversee prototype build, testing, and Gage R&R studies.
  • Ensure designs accommodate global deployment requirements: multi-voltage power configurations, international regulatory compliance (EU Machinery Directive, CE/UKCA, UL, CSA), and varied field and shop environments.
  • Partner with the Manager, Electrical Engineering to define the integrated mechanical-electrical architecture of new tool platforms, ensuring mechanical designs accommodate controls integration: cabinet mounting, sensor placement, actuator interfaces, and wiring routing.
  • Align on regulatory compliance for electromechanical systems and drive a shared product development roadmap that integrates mechanical and electrical technology advancements.
  • manage field issue resolution, design changes, and documentation (drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, revision histories).
