Tyler Saltzman

I am a versatile Mechanical Design Engineer with deep expertise in designing, analyzing, and supporting complex equipment throughout the full project lifecycle. My career spans concept development, engineering analysis, fabrication support, and on-site commissioning—bridging the gap between design and field execution in the oil and gas sector.

Professionally, I bring:

Mechanical Design & Analysis – Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and Ansys for 3D modeling, FEA, structural evaluations, and product validation.

Standards & Compliance – Experienced in applying industry codes and standards including API (8C, 4F/4G/8B/9B, 7K), ABS, DNV GL, and OSHA requirements.

Equipment Development – Proven track record leading the design of offshore handling systems, custom support structures, and retrofit packages for rigs and drillships.

Field Operations & Support – Strong background providing technical support during inspections, repairs, and commissioning, with hands-on understanding of API 4G, API 8B, and DROPS compliance.

Cross-Functional Leadership – Skilled at mentoring drafting teams, collaborating with manufacturing, and coordinating with clients to ensure efficient, accurate, and cost-effective solutions.

Project Documentation – Adept at preparing detailed design reports, BOMs, technical manuals, testing procedures, and cost estimates.

With experience at Loadmaster Industries, Expro / Frank’s International, Halliburton, and Shell, I combine practical field insight with technical design expertise to deliver safe, reliable, and innovative engineering solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
