Description
Naval Architect - Marine Engineer
Team: ME & Naval Architecture
Location: Houston, TX
Commitment: Full-time
Workplace Type: onsite
ENGINEERS WANTED for hazardous journey. Small wages, high voltages, long hours of difficult technical work, safe career choice doubtful. Riches and Glory in case of success.
JOB DESCRIPTION
You will develop autonomous, electric, and hybrid vessels in this role. You will integrate with propulsion and autonomy teams to retrofit existing vessels with Fleetzero's propulsion systems and work as part of a larger team to develop new built electric autonomous vessels.
This is a hands-on role, and you will be expected to own naval architecture and marine engineering projects across the life cycle from initial project scoping through design spirals, regulatory engagement, detailed design, shipyard, and commissioning.
Responsibilities
- Design vessel systems, including auxiliary, propulsion, structures, and layouts to maximize energy efficiency and performance.
- Perform stability, mechanical, and structural analyses to ensure seaworthiness and compliance with class and port state rules.
- Work closely with other engineers, naval architecture firms, detailed design shops, and shipyard teams to translate designs into reality, iterating based on real-world feedback.
- Push the boundaries of vessel design by integrating advanced technologies such as air lubrication, advanced hull coatings, hull appendage modification, novel structures, heel compensation devices, and novel shafting and propeller arrangements.
- Contribute to advanced hull designs focusing on hull efficiency and advanced technologies to reduce viscous and wave-making resistance.
- Contribute to novel vessel structure and construction techniques.
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or a related field
- Experience: At least 3 years in naval architecture, with hands-on experience producing ship design drawings.
- Shipyard or construction experience is a plus.
- Technical Expertise: Expert in hull design, hydrodynamics, stability, and propulsion systems, with a focus on optimizing efficiency and performance. Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, Rhino3D, or equivalent CAD tools
- Regulatory Knowledge: Strong understanding of maritime regulations and submittal processes, with the ability to ensure designs meet certification standards.
- Ability to travel and visit customer and vendor sites, including shipyards and vessels
Bonus Qualifications
- P.E. in naval architecture, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering
- Tow tank experience
- Theoretical knowledge of vessel powering requirements
- Knowledge of published literature on hull resistance
- FEA experience
- Hands-on fabrication experience (preferably directly related to model testing, but any hands on experience that would develop shop floor fluency)
All roles are expected to include intermittent or occasional travel as the business needs.
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in most full time offers and are considered part of Fleetzero's total compensation package.
Fleetzero does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, marital status, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other reason prohibited by law in provision of employment opportunities and benefits.
