We are looking for the right people - people who want to
innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best
talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop
themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards
and opportunity of working for one of the world's largest providers
of products and services to the global energy industry. About
Testing and Subsea Testing & Subsea provides well testing,
reservoir evaluation, and subsea safety systems that validate
reservoir potential and ensure operational integrity. With
innovative tools and real-time data, we help customers reduce risk,
optimize production, and maintain control from exploration to
abandonment. About the Role Under general supervision, the R&D
Electrical Engineer (Senior) serves as a technical lead supporting
the design, development, validation, and commercialization of
electrical systems for downhole and subsea tools. This role focuses
on ensuring performance, reliability, and environmental
survivability of electronics operating in high-pressure,
high-temperature, and harsh offshore conditions. At the Principal
and Advisor levels, the role expands to include broader technical
leadership, system architecture influence, and mentorship across
complex development programs. Key Responsibilities Lead electrical
and electronics development for downhole and subsea tools,
including analog, mixed-signal, sensor interface, power regulation,
and control circuitry. Architect and own PCB designs from
requirements through production release, including schematic
development, component selection, and layout review for
manufacturability and environmental durability. Perform circuit
analysis and simulation (e.g., SPICE/LTSpice) to validate
performance, signal integrity, EMI/EMC robustness, and reliability
in HPHT and subsea environments. Apply best practices for
grounding, filtering, noise reduction, protection circuitry, and
insulation coordination to ensure survivability in harsh operating
conditions. Lead hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, and
troubleshooting using laboratory instrumentation (oscilloscopes,
spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power analyzers). Develop and
execute verification, qualification, environmental, EMC, and
reliability test plans to support product commercialization.
Identify technical risks and drive mitigation strategies across the
full product development lifecycle. Collaborate cross-functionally
with mechanical (packaging, thermal, grounding), firmware
(interfaces, timing), systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure
integrated tool performance and design-for-manufacturability.
Support failure analysis and continuous improvement initiatives to
enhance reliability and field performance. Ensure Health, Safety,
and Environment (HSE) standards are embedded in all design and
testing activities. Contribute innovative and commercially viable
solutions that strengthen Halliburton's Intellectual Property
portfolio. Mentor junior engineers and influence technical best
practices (Principal and Advisor levels). Qualifications Required
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
Minimum 5 years of experience in electrical engineering, R&D,
or product development. Experience designing and validating
electrical systems. Hands-on experience with board-level design,
bring-up, and debugging. Ability to apply engineering standards and
HSE principles in product development environments. Preferred
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
Experience designing electronics for downhole, subsea, or other
harsh environments. Exposure to HPHT tool development or offshore
systems. Experience with analog/mixed-signal PCB ownership. Strong
understanding of EMI/EMC, insulation coordination, and
environmental qualification. Experience supporting environmental
and reliability testing. Candidates who possess qualifications
exceeding the minimum job requirements may be considered for
higher-level positions based on experience, additional
qualifications, and current business needs. Depending on education,
experience, and skill level, candidates may be eligible for roles
ranging from R&D Electrical Engineer, Senior to Principal or
Advisor. World Class Benefits At Halliburton, we're committed to
