Accuracy Control Engineer

Job Overview

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state‑of‑the‑art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

The Accuracy Control Engineer develops and maintains the dimensional control systems required to ensure large ship structures align properly throughout fabrication, assembly, and erection. This role establishes the measurement standards, control points, and engineering processes that allow ship blocks and modules to fit together reliably during construction.

Shipbuilding relies on the precise alignment of extremely large structural assemblies. The Accuracy Control Engineer ensures that dimensional tolerances are controlled from plate cutting through final block erection, enabling repeatable modular production while minimizing rework and fit‑up issues.

This role works closely with production engineering, welding engineering, quality assurance, and ship design teams to establish the shipyard’s accuracy control program, including measurement systems, alignment procedures, and dimensional verification processes.

• Dimensional Control Program Development Establish the shipyard’s accuracy control program governing dimensional tolerances throughout fabrication and assembly.
• Dimensional Control Program Development Define measurement standards and control processes for panels, subassemblies, blocks, and erected structures.
• Dimensional Control Program Development Develop dimensional control procedures that support modular ship construction.
• Measurement Systems & Metrology Implement measurement systems used to verify structural alignment and geometry.
• Measurement Systems & Metrology Utilize advanced metrology technologies such as laser scanning, total stations, and digital measurement tools.
• Measurement Systems & Metrology Develop methods for tracking dimensional variation throughout the production process.
• Production Integration Work closely with fabrication and assembly teams to ensure dimensional accuracy during panel line production, sub‑assembly, block construction, and hull erection.
• Production Integration Establish alignment procedures for block fit‑up and erection.
• Production Integration Support production teams in resolving dimensional conflicts during assembly.
• Tolerance Development Define allowable tolerances for structural components and assemblies.
• Tolerance Development Ensure tolerances support efficient welding, assembly, and fit‑up processes.
• Tolerance Development Coordinate tolerance standards with naval architects and structural engineers.
• Root Cause Analysis Investigate dimensional discrepancies that lead to fit‑up issues or rework.
• Root Cause Analysis Identify process improvements to reduce dimensional variation.
• Root Cause Analysis Implement corrective actions to prevent recurring alignment issues.
• Digital Integration Support integration of dimensional control into digital ship models and production systems.
• Digital Integration Develop processes to compare as‑built measurements with design models.
• Digital Integration Support development of digital twins and production simulation models.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration Coordinate with welding engineering to understand distortion effects.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration Work with quality assurance to establish dimensional inspection procedures.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration Support production engineering in developing modular construction strategies.
• What Success Looks Like Ship blocks and modules consistently align during assembly and erection.
• Dimensional rework is minimized across fabrication and block assembly.
• Measurement systems provide reliable verification of structural geometry.
• Modular construction processes operate predictably and efficiently.
• Production teams trust and rely on the dimensional control system.

• Required Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Required Understanding of dimensional control, metrology, or structural alignment in large‑scale manufacturing or construction environments.
• Required Experienc…
