MAPC has an opening for a full time (40hr/wk) Marine Engineer or Naval Architect with an interest in unique vessel and ship system designs to work on diverse projects across the company portfolio. The preferred candidate will be capable of working with multi-disciplinary project teams as a subject matter expert and as a leader of such teams. Typical ship design work extends from concept studies through preliminary and contract design. Products include arrangements, powering and propulsion studies, weight and stability considerations, shipwide trade studies, and seakeeping studies on vessels from tens to hundreds of feet long. Marine systems work includes modifications to and service of existing systems in production at / by MAPC; auxiliary systems concept, preliminary, and detail design and arrangement; and development of novel equipment and components for challenging marine environments. MAPC is seeking a candidate who has existing knowledge and skills supporting many of these tasks and an interest in expanding their knowledge to solve novel problems. The successful candidate will be responsible for the following engineering elements: 1. Solving complex technical problems with advice and guidance from Principal Engineers when necessary. 2. Independent solving of straightforward technical problems 3. Moving freely between first principles analysis and complex software “canned” solution analysis. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each and knowing when and where to use them. 4. Having an intuition of when a technical problem is converging positively and when to change approach for better results. 5. Developing and assessing options to resolve technical challenges and identifying impacts, risks, and benefits for each solution across the design. 6. Documenting and communicating technical determinations at the appropriate level of detail and explanation for internal, external, specialist, and intelligent non-specialist consideration.
