- Develop 2D/3D models and detailed production drawings using Rhino, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Maxsurf.
- Integrate electric propulsion systems (battery systems, motors, control units) into vessel architecture with multidisciplinary teams.
- Modify and customise existing hull designs for performance, safety, and aesthetics.
2. Technical Calculations & Compliance:
- Perform hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, structural, and stability analyses tailored to electric propulsion constraints.
- Analyse resistance, propulsion, and manoeuvrability to optimize vessel efficiency and operational cost.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and classification standards (e.g., IMO, SOLAS, MPA, BV, DNV).
3. Project & Lifecycle Support:
- Work closely with shipbuilders, engineers, and stakeholders to bring designs to life including visiting shipyards, overseeing builds, and participating in sea trials.
- Provide technical support for the repair, maintenance, and retrofitting of vessels.
- Conduct risk assessments for structural integrity and operational safety throughout a vessel's lifespan.
Key Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Minimum 2 to 6 years' experience in vessel design, preferably with exposure to electric propulsion or sustainable maritime technologies.
- Experienced working within shipyards, design consultancies, or marine engineering firms is highly advantageous.
- Strong knowledge of naval architecture fundamentals including hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, stability, structural design, and materials science.
- Proven ability to apply technical skills using CAD software such as Rhino, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Maxsurf.
- Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools including CFD software (e.g., StarCCM+) and finite element analysis (e.g., ANSYS) is preferred.
- Demonstrated understanding of classification society requirements (e.g., BV, DNV) and international maritime regulations (e.g., IMO, SOLAS).
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with a pragmatic and innovative approach to design challenges.
- Demonstrates a strong innovative mindset, passionate about pioneering sustainable electric vessel designs and embracing emerging technologies.
- Highly detail-oriented, ensuring all designs are accurate, safe, and compliant with regulatory standards.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with experience collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.
