NOV Inc. designs, manufactures, and operates equipment and systems for drilling, production, and operational support across the global oil and gas industry. The company's portfolio spans drilling equipment, production systems, advanced components, and digital solutions that integrate into field operations. Founded in 1862 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, NOV brings over 160 years of deployment experience in high-constraint environments where reliability and performance margins matter.
The engineering work spans mechanical systems design, control software, subsystem integration, and field-proven hardware operating under demanding conditions - extreme pressures, corrosive environments, and remote operations. NOV's digital solutions layer computational and data-driven capability onto physical equipment, extending operational visibility and control. The company operates at global scale with thousands of engineering and technical staff supporting customer installations worldwide.
Beyond legacy oil and gas operations, NOV is developing energy transition solutions - applying systems integration expertise and manufacturing capability toward renewable and alternative energy infrastructure. This represents a sustained engineering pivot rather than a tactical diversification, requiring teams to adapt proven design and manufacturing discipline to new physical constraints and operational paradigms.
