How much do umbilical engineer jobs pay per year?

As of Jul 8, 2026, the average yearly pay for umbilical engineer in the United States is $87,220.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $76,500.00 and $97,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Umbilical Engineer vs Subsea Engineer?

AspectUmbilical EngineerSubsea Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications in subsea systemsBachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, or Marine Engineering, similar certifications
Work EnvironmentOffshore oil & gas platforms, subsea installationsOffshore and subsea environments, including pipelines and equipment
Employer & Industry UsageOil & gas companies, subsea engineering firmsOil & gas, offshore energy, subsea infrastructure

Both Umbilical Engineers and Subsea Engineers work in offshore environments, focusing on subsea systems. Umbilical Engineers specialize in designing and maintaining umbilicals that connect surface facilities to subsea equipment, while Subsea Engineers have a broader role in managing all subsea infrastructure. Their skills and work settings overlap significantly, but their specific focus areas differ within the offshore industry.

What are Umbilical Engineers?

Umbilical Engineers are specialized professionals who design, install, and maintain umbilical systems used in offshore oil and gas operations. These umbilicals are complex assemblies of cables, hoses, and tubes that transmit power, control signals, and fluids between offshore platforms and subsea equipment. Umbilical Engineers ensure that these systems are safe, reliable, and meet both technical requirements and regulatory standards. They often work closely with other engineers, project managers, and installation teams to support efficient subsea operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Umbilical Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Umbilical Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical, electrical, or subsea engineering, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree and experience in offshore oil and gas projects. Familiarity with CAD software, subsea analysis tools, and industry standards like API and ISO, as well as certifications in offshore safety, are commonly required. Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help you collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and address technical challenges. These abilities ensure safe, efficient design, installation, and maintenance of subsea umbilical systems critical to offshore operations.

What are some typical challenges faced by Umbilical Engineers when working on offshore projects?

Umbilical Engineers often encounter challenges related to harsh marine environments, such as corrosion, high pressures, and mechanical stresses on subsea umbilicals. Coordinating with multidisciplinary teams—including subsea, electrical, and installation engineers—is essential to ensure that design, procurement, and deployment processes run smoothly. Additionally, managing tight project timelines and maintaining safety standards throughout the installation and commissioning phases are common aspects of the role. Proactive problem-solving and adaptability are key to overcoming these challenges and ensuring project success.

Job description

We are seeking an experienced Stress Analyst to support the analysis and validation of ground systems, umbilical hardware, launch infrastructure, and transportation/handling tooling. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in structural analysis, finite element modeling (FEA), and aerospace or ground support equipment, with the ability to work closely with design teams to support engineering development and design validation efforts.
Job Type: Contract-to-Hire (REMOTE)
Pay Rate: $75hr - $90hr (DOE)
Schedule: Full-Time | M-F (Overtime as needed)
Responsibilities

Umbilical & Ground Systems
  • Perform structural and dynamic analyses to validate umbilical systems during launch and abort operations
  • Evaluate disconnect timing, clearance requirements, and load conditions
  • Analyze launch pad structures, support equipment, and integrated mechanical systems
  • Support development of load cases and design validation activities
Ground Testing & Handling Equipment
  • Analyze test fixtures, stands, instrumentation hardware, and leak-check equipment
  • Perform structural analysis on lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and associated tooling
  • Evaluate load paths, rigging configurations, rated loads, and safety factors
General Responsibilities
  • Develop hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) models to support design validation
  • Prepare analysis reports for engineering releases and design reviews
  • Collaborate with design and drafting teams to support structural design decisions
  • Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards and safety requirements

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience performing structural analysis using hand calculations and FEA methods
  • Proficiency with ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, or similar analysis tools
  • Strong understanding of static, dynamic, thermal, and load path analysis
  • Familiarity with factors of safety, rated loads, and lifting/handling standards such as NASA-STD-8719 or ASME BTH-1
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with launch vehicle ground systems, umbilical, or test equipment
  • Familiarity with NASA MSFC engineering standards and processes
  • Experience supporting launch, abort, transportation, or handling load case development
