JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a full-time entry-level engineer to join our Ocean Engineering and Analysis Group in Seattle, WA or Providence, RI.

EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION:

• Minimum bachelor’s degree in naval architecture, ocean engineering, or other relevant discipline. Master’s Degree or PhD preferred.
• Ambition and ability to obtain United States professional engineering licensure once experience requirements are met working under Glosten professional engineers. Engineering-in-Training (EIT) certification is preferred.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States. Due to project restrictions, Glosten will only consider applicants with unrestricted access to work in the United States or those eligible for TN visas.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Academic background or equivalent work experience in the disciplines of hydrodynamics, climatology, mooring analysis, offshore operations, ship design and/or offshore platforms.
• Ability to apply fundamental engineering principles to problem solving, development of analytical approaches, and development of novel design concepts.
• Ability to evaluate, select, and apply standards, techniques, procedures, and criteria.
• Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously.
• Familiarity with naval architectural and hydrodynamics software packages.
• Academic background or experience in field trials, model testing, and validation of numerical models.
• General knowledge of marine vessel systems, computational methods, and design processes.
• Familiarity with marine standards and regulatory requirements, such as USCG, ABS, DNV, and API, and ability to apply to design work.
• Some travel and fieldwork is required for this role. Project assignments may require a valid driver’s license, current passport, and/or TWIC card.

• Providing the primary technical effort for projects involving ship design, civil structures, marine construction support, offshore energy platforms, offshore floating wind turbines, and wave energy conversion devices. This includes climatological analysis, calculation of hydrodynamic motions and loads on floating structures, mooring system design and analysis, hydro-elastic analysis, and using finite element, potential flow, and CFD analysis methods.
• Executing wide-ranging data analysis projects employing probabilistic methods, generation and synthesis of large datasets, and optimization of complex systems. Applications include fleet planning and logistics, risk assessment, and development and validation of numerical models.
• Contributing to the continual improvement and growth of the Ocean Engineering & Analysis group, including developing and documenting processes and tools to increase engineering efficiency.
