Responsibilities

  • Design and develop marine auxiliary systems from concept through production

  • Create system layouts and machinery arrangements

  • Perform system-level analyses

  • Select and integrate components

  • Develop and execute test plans

  • Collaborate across engineering teams

  • Support build and integration

  • Analyze performance data and improve designs

  • Troubleshoot and perform root-cause analysis

  • Drive design-for-manufacturing decisions

Qualifications Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Marine, or related field

  • 2+ years designing mechanical or fluid systems

  • Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics

  • Experience with piping, cooling, fuel, HVAC, or hydraulics

  • Ability to perform first-principles calculations

  • Experience with CAD tools

Preferred

  • Experience with marine systems

  • Familiarity with diesel support systems

  • Experience with testing and integration

  • Experience with CFD or thermal tools
