- PE Stamping & Certification: Review, verify, and stamp design packages, calculations, and specifications for classification societies (e.g., ABS, DNV) and flag state authorities as necessary
- Requirements Management: Map end user requirements to holistic systems and engineering methodologies, ensuring no design criteria or regulatory standards are missed
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate directly with other SWBS leads to ensure proper integration of weight, stability, power, other ship services, and structural interfaces
- Life-Cycle Support: Support and help to drive the design spiral, shipyard construction, commissioning, and in-service modifications/drydockings
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure designs meet project specifications, class requirements, and maritime regulatory standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, USCG)
- Review & Modification: Conduct design reviews, incorporate feedback, and implement modifications to accommodate changes in project scope
- Briefings & Reports: Develop and present technical materials at all levels, including senior executives for efficient review and decision making
- Some level of travel may be required
- Design and evaluate hull forms, scantlings, and foundations
- Evaluate conceptual designs for ship systems and identify the work required to develop the associated detailed/production designs
- Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and first-principle calculations to ensure structural integrity
- Manage weight monitoring and structural evaluation to maintain vessel intact and damage stability
- Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems
- Develop detailed engineering designs and specifications for piping, HVAC, and refrigeration systems, and steering gear
- Evaluate conceptual designs for ship systems and identify the work required to develop the associated detailed/production designs
- Conduct hydrodynamics, thermo-fluids, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses for propulsion systems
- Select, size, and integrate main and auxiliary systems including pumps, fans, valves, and other mechanical components
- Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems
- Design power generation, distribution, and conversion systems for both ship service and emergency loads
- Develop electrical load analyses, short-circuit calculations, and arc-flash studies
- Integrate hybrid/electric propulsion architectures, switchboards, and marine cabling networks
- Integrate Regulatory and Class Society certification requirements such as Safe Return to Port (SRtP), Automated Centralized Control Unmanned (ACCU), Dynamic Positioning Systems (DPS-0 through DPS-3), etc
- Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems
