The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our Calgary-based team.

This is a hands-on engineering position offering the opportunity to work directly with our engineering, management, and operations teams on the design, development, testing, and continuous improvement of our downhole drilling technologies.

The successful candidate will be involved in all stages of the product lifecycle, from initial concepts and detailed mechanical design through manufacturing, field deployment,



and performance evaluation.

As part of a close-knit team, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, solve challenging engineering problems, and see your designs put to work in the field.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, model, and develop downhole drilling tools, components, and related equipment.
- Prepare and maintain detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Manage engineering drawing revisions and design changes.
- Perform mechanical analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA), to evaluate and optimize tool performance.
- Collaborate with machine shops and suppliers on prototype development, manufacturing, and production improvements.
- Investigate tool failures, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions to improve reliability and performance.
- Develop testing procedures, technical reports, and equipment service manuals.
- Work closely with operations and field personnel to identify opportunities for product improvement and innovation.

Qualifications

- Minimum 5 years of mechanical engineering experience, preferably in downhole drilling tools or oilfield equipment.
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including 3D modelling,



detailed drawings, and FEA.
- Experience with mechanical design, materials selection, manufacturing processes, and engineering tolerances.
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot mechanical systems and solve complex technical challenges.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams, operations personnel, suppliers, and customers.
- Experience designing downhole drilling tools is strongly preferred.
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Education

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

Why Join Barreleye? At Barreleye, you'll be more than a small part of a large engineering department. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the development and performance of innovative drilling technologies.

We offer a team-oriented work environment, direct access to decision-makers, and the opportunity to take projects from concept to real-world application. If you enjoy solving practical engineering challenges and want to see the results of your work in the field, we'd like to hear from you.
