R&D Telemetry Engineer (Senior - Principal) Testing and Subsea

Job Duties and Qualifications

Subject matter expert in communication and telemetry systems and accompanying signal processing algorithms. Under broad direction, provides expertise and guidance in analysis, modifications, and designs of multiple projects of high complexity. Lead development & testing of acoustic telemetry systems and accompanying signal processing algorithms to maximize reliability, robustness, and data rate. Demonstrate creativity, foresight, and mature engineering judgment in anticipating and solving complex engineering problems most efficiently and economically. Has a good understanding of acoustic-based communication systems and associated noise/crosstalk issues and develops features to minimize the impact to telemetry. Identifies the testing requirement at a system level with an emphasis on complying with test standards and Halliburton’s Health, Safety, and Environment procedures.

Job Roles: 
•    Subject matter expert in digital communication areas especially in digital modulation/demodulation, channel coding, synchronization and equalization, pulse shaping and match filter design.  
•    Working knowledge of acoustic telemetry systems and accompanying signal processing algorithms. 
•    Knowledge of detection and estimation theories. 
•    Uses engineering techniques to predict performance of telemetry systems & develop adaptability, in changing conditions, and works with the multi-disciplinary team to mitigate system design risks. 
•    Uses laboratory hardware equipment and software tools or applications to perform routine analysis to predict performance of electronic circuits or control systems and identifies design improvements by evaluating results. 
•    Define, develop & test diagnostics for telemetry hardware. 
•    Develops design documentation and presents to stakeholders in design reviews, as required by Halliburton lifecycle process, and seeks approval. 
•    Develops creative/innovative solutions and new technology. 
•    In addition, knowledge of digital circuit design, mixed signal circuit design, or signal conditioning design is a plus. 

Qualifications: 
•    The ideal candidate will have an undergraduate degree in electrical/electronic engineering or similar discipline. 
•    demonstrated ability to commercialize technology; demonstrated ability to conceive of and develop creative/innovative technology. 
•    4 years of successful industrial experience in a similar environment.  
•    Previous experience with the development of acoustic telemetry systems is highly desirable. 

Candidates having qualification that exceed the minimum job requirements will receive consideration for higher-level roles given (1) their experience, (2) additional job requirements, and/or (3) business needs. Depending on education, experience and skill level, a variety of job opportunities might be available from the Senior R&D Electrical Engineer up to the Principal Electrical Engineer.
