Description

Job Title: Mechanical Engineer Department: Engineering SUMMARY The Mechanical Engineer role supports the design, analysis, integration, and production of mission-critical marine mechanical & electrical systems and equipment. This role develops 3D models and production drawings, performs structural/thermal/fluid analyses as required, and coordinates with electrical, controls, production, and shipyard teams to deliver compliant, install-ready solutions for commercial, offshore, and government/naval platforms. This position plays an important role in meeting our policy of supporting the continued success of our customers. RESPONSIBILITIES: Design & Modeling * Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, and installation arrangements for marine equipment, foundations, enclosures, machinery, and related components. * Produce high-quality 2D production drawings, fabrication packages, and bills of materials (BOMs) with strong GD&T discipline. * Create ship integration deliverables such as layout drawings, foundation/interface drawings, and installation details aligned to shipyard standards. * Manage design data and revisions in PDM/PLM systems; execute ECR/ECO workflows and maintain configuration control. Marine Integration & Production Support * Coordinate with shipyard/outfitting teams to ensure designs are buildable, serviceable, and install-ready (clearances, lifting, access, maintainability). * Support material selection and manufacturing methods; collaborate with procurement and suppliers to define technical requirements and resolve issues. * Provide shopfloor and field support during fabrication, assembly, installation, and commissioning; troubleshoot mechanical integration issues. Engineering Analysis (as required by program scope) * Perform or oversee structural analyses (static, fatigue, modal/vibration) for foundations, brackets, equipment supports, and machinery components. * Perform or oversee CFD/thermal/fluid analyses for cooling, ventilation, intake/discharge, and heat rejection challenges when applicable. * Conduct piping network and/or pipe stress analysis for marine piping systems as required (supports, flexibility, vibration, thermal growth). Quality, Testing, and Compliance * Develop and support test plans (FAT/SAT), inspection criteria, and technical documentation packages. * Work with class societies and customers to support approvals, reviews, and compliance documentation (as applicable). * Participate in root-cause investigations and corrective actions (NCR/MRB), driving practical solutions that protect schedule and quality. Project Execution * Support engineering estimates, schedules, and risk management for assigned work packages. * Communicate progress, constraints, and technical trade-offs clearly to internal leadership and program stakeholders. Required Qualifications * Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline). * Experience: [8+] years in marine, shipbuilding, offshore, industrial equipment, or mission-critical mechanical design (government/defense a plus). * 3D CAD proficiency: Demonstrated experience with one or more: SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, CATIA. * 2D drafting: Strong AutoCAD capability and experience producing fabrication/installation drawings. * Configuration control: Experience with PDM/PLM tools (e.g., SolidWorks PDM, Autodesk Vault, Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE). * Drawing practices: Proven ability creating detailed drawings, BOMs, and applying GD&T. * Marine integration mindset: Knowledge of shipboard installation constraints (space, access, weight/COG impacts, corrosion protection, maintainability). * Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with electrical, controls, production, procurement, and shipyard teams. Preferred Qualifications: Shipyard / Outfitting Platforms * Experience with shipbuilding design environments: AVEVA Marine / AVEVA E3D, CADMATIC, ShipConstructor. * Clash management, spool/production outputs, and model-based shipyard workflows. Simulation & Analysis Tools * FEA experience with ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, MSC Nastran/Patran, or Altair HyperWorks/OptiStruct. * CFD/thermal experience with ANSYS Fluent/CFX, STAR-CCM+, or OpenFOAM. Piping & Fluid Systems * Pipe stress tools: Caesar II or AutoPIPE. * Network tools: AFT Fathom/Arrow or PIPE-FLO. * Familiarity with hydraulics simulation tools (e.g., Simcenter Amesim or MATLAB/Simulink) is a plus. Marine/Vessel Tools & Standards * Working familiarity with weight/COG tracking and vessel interfaces (e.g., Rhino/Orca3D, NAPA exposure). * Familiarity with marine class and mechanical codes/standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s, and applicable ASME piping practices). Competencies * Practical, installation-first design approach (buildable, maintainable, serviceable). * Strong ownership, attention to detail, and follow-through in a program environment. * Ability to balance cost, schedule, and technical risk while maintaining compliance and quality.
