AI Solutions Developer​/Engineer

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family. Shape the Future of Data & AI at Damen At Damen Shipyards Group, we are accelerating the adoption of Artificial Intelligence across our global organization. From shipbuilding and engineering to procurement, finance, services, and operations, AI is becoming a key enabler of how we work, innovate, and create value. To support this ambition, we are establishing the AI Value Lab, a dedicated team focused on identifying, developing, validating, and scaling AI-powered solutions that deliver measurable business impact.

We are investing in people, platforms, and capabilities that help transform promising AI technologies into practical business outcomes. We are not looking for someone who simply configures tools. We are looking for someone who loves understanding how AI works beneath the surface, enjoys experimenting with new models and technologies, and gets excited about turning ideas into working solutions. You may come from software development, automation, AI engineering, digital transformation, product development, data science, or a similar environment where curiosity, innovation, and hands‑on problem solving are part of your daily work.

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of AI within a global maritime leader and contribute directly to Damen's ambition of becoming a more Human‑Led and Data‑Powered organization.

The Role As an AI Solution Developer, you will serve as the technical explorer and hands‑on builder within the AI Value Lab. You will rapidly translate business opportunities into proof‑of‑concepts, prototypes, AI agents, automations, and scalable solutions that improve how people work and make decisions. You will work closely with business stakeholders, Data & AI specialists, AI Ambassadors, developers, and technology teams to identify opportunities, test emerging technologies, and transform successful experiments into reliable business solutions.

The role requires a balance between technical curiosity, practical problem solving, experimentation, business understanding, and solution delivery.
