Summary
Technical position involving the design and development of machines that manufacture metal pipes and tubes.
Description
Pipe making machinery design engineers are specialists who design and develop equipment for manufacturing metal pipes and tubes. They are responsible for the entire process, from gathering customer requirements and concept design, to detailed design using 3D CAD, evaluation through material strength and structural analysis (FEA), selection of mechanical elements (gears, bearings, rollers, etc.), creation of mechanical drawings and specification documents, design of hydraulic/pneumatic circuits and control systems, prototyping, installation, trial operation, and post-mass-production improvements and maintenance support. Coordination with manufacturing sites, electrical control engineers, and outsourcing partners, as well as cost and schedule management, are also important roles.
Future Outlook
Due to the growing needs for automation and labor reduction in manufacturing, the demand for pipe making machinery design engineers is expected to remain stable. The ability to propose solutions combining digital technologies such as IoT and digital twins will become a key differentiator in the future.
