Lead Engineer, Product Design and Engineering - Mechanical

Drive technical delivery of subsea power and control systems for offshore energy projects

Own the design and execution of complex subsea distribution technologies
 

Join our Team

Become part of Baker Hughes Subsea Engineering division, where we apply cutting-edge technologies and robust engineering principles to transform offshore energy operations. Our team designs and delivers integrated subsea systems that support safe, efficient, and sustainable exploration and production of hydrocarbons in challenging environments.

Partner with the best

As a Subsea Trees Mechanical Engineer, you will contribute to the design and delivery of state‑of‑the‑art subsea Well Systems. You will take part in the full engineering lifecycle — from concept development to detailed design, manufacturing support, testing, and installation activities — ensuring our products meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and quality.

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, supply chain, materials, analysis groups, and manufacturing to transform requirements into robust and innovative subsea solutions. Your work will directly support both customer requisition projects and product structuring initiatives.

As a Subsea Trees Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Participating in the full design cycle of subsea tree components and tooling, from concept to drawings and BOM management.

• Appling and interpreting key industry standards (ISO, API, ASME, NACE, DNVGL, NORSOK, EUROCODE) in the development of subsea equipment.

• Reviewing engineering and customer specifications to identify and define product requirements.

• Developing 3D CAD models using CREO/IPEM and generate/review detailed fabrication and machining drawings following company and industry drafting standards.

• Creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs) and ensuring all documentation is properly managed within Teamcenter.

• Collaborating with Analysis and Materials teams to validate mechanical designs and ensure fitness for purpose.

• Preparing documentation for design reviews, including layouts, technical presentations, and manufacturing/safety evaluations.

• Supporting product and project documentation (eFAT/FAT/SIT procedures, user manuals, assembly and mobilization procedures, service manuals, etc.).

• Contributing to continuous improvement through lessons learned and support Design for Manufacturing/Sourcing initiatives.

• Ensuring that all engineering activities meet quality, safety, and environmental standards and follow internal processes.

• Completing assigned tasks according to performance metrics (OTD, quality, yield).

• Providing support to peers, engineers, and managers as needed.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

• Master’s Degree (5 years) in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent), or above;

• Knowledge of geometric and dimensional tolerancing (GD&T), drafting practices and main manufacturing technologies;

• Proven knowledge of Parametric CAD tool CREO and IPEM/TeamCenter database;

• Knowledge of main subsea industry standards (ISO, API, ASME, NACE, DnV, NORSOK, EUROCODE);

• Ability to work independently and comfortably in a global multicultural environment;

• Robust analytical and problem solving skills;

• Team player attitude and inclusiveness, combined with good communication skills;

• Proficiency with English (spoken and written);

• Proactivity and ability to take initiative to resolve issues.

Work in a way that works for you
We recognize that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:
