Job Description & How to Apply Below
** Marine Mechanical Systems Integration Engineer**, you will be responsible for the physical configuration, mechanical design, and system-level integration of Cat Marine hybrid applications. You will execute the engineering work required to integrate traditional propulsion machinery—such as engines, gearboxes, transmissions, and clutches. Also, in scope is the mechanical design and integration of advanced hybrid components at the system level for the Cat scope and the integration into the vessel.
This role focuses on the detailed delivery of integrated mechanical packages, ensuring every solution is engineered for high performance, and seamless vessel integration and installation.
- ** Vessel Performance Simulation & Modeling:
** Define and execute technical requirements for vessel performance modeling. You will define requirements and support the team developing simulations to evaluate performance optimization of engines and transmissions, hybrid duty cycles, fuel consumption, and energy flow, ensuring the mechanical and electrical system architecture meets the specific operational profile of the vessel. Prepare technical submittals and design documentation to ensure all mechanical and hybrid integrations meet Classification Society rules (e.g., ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register).
You will ensure designs comply with USCG requirements for machinery and electrical installations.
- ** Full-Lifecycle Engineering:
** Manage the day-to-day engineering tasks for assigned projects from concept through validation. Deliver high-precision 3D models (Creo), 2D drawings (AutoCAD), P&IDs, and integrated drawings that facilitate the physical installation of machinery and electrical distribution hardware.
** Education & Experience Requirements**:
- ** Education**:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related technical discipline.
- ** Professional Expertise**:
Proven experience in the design and mechanical integration of marine propulsion drive lines, gearboxes, transmissions, and vessel performance analysis.
- ** Simulation Proficiency:
** Experience using simulation software (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or proprietary vessel modeling tools) to predict hybrid system performance and fuel efficiency.
- ** Hybrid Component Integration:
** Hands-on experience with the physical packaging and cooling requirements of battery systems, motors, and inverters**.**
- ** Advanced Engineering
Skills:
** Proficiency in rotational dynamics, torsional vibration, and structural mounting for heavy marine machinery. High proficiency in
** Creo (Pro/E)
** for 3D modeling and
** AutoCAD
* * for 2D schematics and P&IDs.
- ** Project Execution:
** Ability to manage a Bill of Materials (BOM) and execute project plans for complex, multi-disciplinary engine room solutions.
- ** Quality Management**:
Knowledge of quality management methods, tools, and techniques and ability to create and support an environment that meets the quality goals of the organization.
** Analytical Thinking**:
Knowledge of techniques and tools that promote effective analysis; ability to determine the root cause of organizational problems and create alternative solutions that resolve these problems.
- ** Effective Communications**:
Understanding of effective communication concepts, tools and techniques; ability to effectively transmit, receive, and accurately interpret ideas, information, and needs through the application of appropriate communication behaviors.
- ** Problem Solving**:
Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.
** Systems Thinking**:
Knowledge of the critical interdependencies among individual system elements that help and hinder performance; ability to plan and design solutions that synchronize resources to achieve business results.
