Naval Architect/Engineer
Job description:
While the job is all encompassing, new grads are encouraged to apply! Staff Engineer Degree Required, certification preferred- responsible for full spectrum of engineering analyses pertaining to design and fabrication of aluminum work and patrol boats up to 65ft and larger. Job’s emphasis will be on structural engineering and analyses of aluminum hull structure to ISO, ABS, and other recognized standards and industry best practices. Additional scope of structural engineering includes, but is not limited to, equipment foundations, and towing, lifting and mooring fitting analysis using the most appropriate tools ranging from hand calculations to full FEA modeling and simulation. Additional engineering scope includes, but is not limited to: HVAC calculations; pipe flow and plumbing system design and analysis; hull and system CAD modeling; stability analysis; speed and power prediction; propulsion and power systems sizing and analysis, seakeeping and maneuvering predictions; noise and vibration analysis; electrical system load analysis and design; hydraulic systems engineering and design and analysis of test and sea trial data.
Skills and experience:
-
Analyzes project specifications to determine engineering scope and feasibility of proposed components or features.
-
Interfaces with management to ensure proposed product meets customer requirements; including providing drawings, calculations and written documentation to proposal manager to meet proposal submittal requirements.
-
Designs custom parts for fabrication.
-
Ensures all engineering documentation including drawings, parts lists, layouts and schematics comply with contract and industry standards.
-
Works closely with Quality Assurance to develop and document all test procedures.
-
Coordinates with Manufacturing to ensure cost-efficient production and resolution of manufacturing issues.
-
Provides input, where required, for compliance with industry and government standards and regulations.
-
Develops templates, computer models and spreadsheet tools to simplify and standardize design and engineering processes.
-
Attends technical evaluation meetings and briefing with customers as required.
-
Attends technical industry meetings, conferences and symposia as required.
-
Maintains current knowledge of best industry and engineering practices through continuing education.
-
Mentors junior engineers and designers in engineering theory and processes.
-
Requires a minimum of five years experience designing small boats or comparable systems and subsystems in a manufacturing environment. Experience with high speed aluminum craft strongly desired, but not required.
-
Structural Design (hand calculations through FEA); HVAC calculations; pipe flow analysis, system design modeling; proposal support; analysis of test and sea trial data.
-
Technical understanding of computer modeling applications such as Rhino, AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, FEA software and MS Office. MATLAB or other computer analytics programming language knowledge desired but not required.
-
Strong organization and interpersonal skills required to work in a fast-paced, multi-tasking team environment.
The following is strongly desired:
Must be knowledgeable in naval architecture and marine engineering principles and have an up to date understanding of boat fabrication technologies. Should be thoroughly familiar with marine systems including propulsion units, cooling systems, electrical systems (including bonding), navigation systems and electronics. Requires knowledge of ABYC, USCG, ISO, and ABS regulations; experience with other regulatory agencies would be a plus.
Educational requirements:
BS degree in Naval Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, or Marine Engineering. PE certification is a plus, but new grads are encouraged to apply.
Physical requirements:
Position requires use of computer, telephones and other office equipment, reading, writing, standing, sitting, walking, repetitive motions, bending, climbing, listening and hearing ability and visual acuity. Position also requires ability to work in and around boats from the beginning of production through on the water testing. This includes mobility to work in and around incomplete aluminum hull structures and on the water at high speeds in rough conditions.
Hours:
Full Time
Salary:
Depends on Experience
