Naval Architect​/Marine Engineer

Job Description

Everforth ECS is seeking licensed Professional Engineers (PE) with distinct expertise in Naval Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and Structural engineering to work remotely.

Please note:

This position is contingent upon contract award.

• SWBS Ownership:
  Assume total technical responsibility and quality control for SWBS groupings applicable to your domain, ensuring work adheres to 100% of the project requirements.
• PE Stamping & Certification:
  Review, verify, and stamp design packages, calculations, and specifications for classification societies (e.g., ABS, DNV) and flag state authorities as necessary.
• Requirements Management:
  Map end user requirements to holistic systems and engineering methodologies, ensuring no design criteria or regulatory standards are missed.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Coordinate directly with other SWBS leads to ensure proper integration of weight, stability, power, other ship services, and structural interfaces.
• Life‑Cycle Support:
  Support and help to drive the design spiral, shipyard construction, commissioning, and in‑service modifications/drydockings.
• Regulatory Compliance:
  Ensure designs meet project specifications, class requirements, and maritime regulatory standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, USCG).
• Review & Modification:
  Conduct design reviews, incorporate feedback, and implement modifications to accommodate changes in project scope.
• Briefings & Reports:
  Develop and present technical materials at all levels, including senior executives for efficient review and decision making.
• Some level of travel may be required.

Focus Area: SWBS Group 100 (Hull Structure), Group 200 (Propulsion), and Group 500 (Auxiliary Systems).

• Design and evaluate hull forms, scantlings, and foundations.
• Evaluate conceptual designs for ship systems and identify the work required to develop the associated detailed/production designs.
• Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and first‑principle calculations to ensure structural integrity.
• Manage weight monitoring and structural evaluation to maintain vessel intact and damage stability.
• Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems.

PE in Structural/Mechanical Engineering or Naval Architecture. Experience in lifting appliances, structural design, or hybrid propulsion is a plus.

Focus Area: SWBS Group 200 (Propulsion Plant), Group 300 (Electric Plant – Mechanical Aspects), Group 500 (Auxiliary Systems), and Group 600 (Outfit & Furnishings).

• Develop detailed engineering designs and specifications for piping, HVAC, and refrigeration systems, and steering gear.
• Evaluate conceptual designs for ship systems and identify the work required to develop the associated detailed/production designs.
• Conduct hydrodynamics, thermo‑fluids, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses for propulsion systems.
• Select, size, and integrate main and auxiliary systems including pumps, fans, valves, and other mechanical components.
• Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems.

PE in Mechanical or Marine Engineering. Familiarity with CFRs, ABS, USCG, MARPOL, and SOLAS regulations.

Focus Area: SWBS Group 300 (Electric Plant) and automated control segments of Group 400 (Command & Surveillance).

• Design power generation, distribution, and conversion systems for both ship service and emergency loads.
• Develop electrical load analyses, short‑circuit calculations, and arc‑flash studies.
• Integrate hybrid/electric propulsion architectures, switchboards, and marine cabling networks.
• Integrate Regulatory and Class Society certification requirements such as Safe Return to Port (SRtP), Automated Centralized Control Unmanned (ACCU), Dynamic Positioning Systems (DPS‑0 through DPS‑3), etc.
• Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems.
