Naval Architect – Modular Interface Integration
Shape the future of modular shipbuilding at a maritime technology startup with secured funding. Take ownership of innovative naval architecture challenges at High Tech Campus Eindhoven
Company information
Our client is a maritime technology startup based at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, with funding secured. The company is developing a proprietary, parametrically scalable interface framework that connects vessel structures with interchangeable modules. Joining at an early stage, you will play a key role in developing and validating this technology, with substantial technical responsibility and direct involvement in design decisions
Vacancy information
As Naval Architect, you take the vessel design supplied by the client as your starting point. You integrate the proprietary interface framework into that design and take responsibility for the naval architecture calculations and simulations needed to substantiate the resulting vessel.
Your scope includes engineering the hull and its internal module cavity around the interface framework, validating the impact on overall vessel performance, and delivering precise interface specifications to selected suppliers. You work closely with the Mechanical & Structural Engineer to ensure that the vessel structure and mechanical interfaces function together.
Key responsibilities:
- Interface integration: Integrate the parametrically scalable interfaces into the vessel’s primary hull structure, aligned with the client’s design and operational requirements.
- Hull and cavity engineering: Engineer the hull geometry and internal module cavity required to accommodate the interface framework.
- Vessel performance: Calculate, simulate and substantiate the hydrodynamic performance, stability, resistance and seakeeping of the complete vessel, including the effects of the cavity and interface integration.
- Design validation: Mathematically validate the interface integration and associated load distribution, including the effects of hull torsion, in cooperation with the Mechanical & Structural Engineer.
- Supplier specifications: Prepare and deliver validated interface specifications, enabling selected suppliers to design and build their application-specific modules to the defined requirements.
- Classification: Lead the technical dialogue with classification societies to support design approval and certification of the complete vessel.
What do we offer
- A key technical role in a maritime technology startup with secured funding.
- The opportunity to help develop and validate a proprietary modular interface concept.
- Substantial ownership of engineering decisions and technical deliverables.
- Close collaboration between naval architecture, mechanical engineering and physical testing.
- A workplace at High Tech Campus Eindhoven.
What do you need
- A master’s degree in Naval Architecture, Shipbuilding or a closely related technical discipline.
- EU Citizenship is preffered
- Demonstrable experience independently designing, calculating and substantiating complete ship hulls.
- Strong knowledge of hydrodynamics, stability, resistance, seakeeping and ship structures.
- A strong interest in parametric design and modular vessel concepts.
- The ability to translate innovative design principles into technically substantiated engineering solutions.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to convey precise technical requirements to suppliers and classification societies.
