Expert Marine Engineer

Role Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled Marine Engineering Expert to join our team. As an expert in naval architecture, you will be responsible for designing and building digital solutions for large Container Ships.

• You will work closely with our data scientists to develop models that simulate the performance of container ships, including fuel consumption and hydrodynamic stability.
• You will also assist in the development of predictive models for parametric and synchronous rolling in rough sea weather conditions.
• In addition, you will help build solutions for diagnosing hull fouling margins and engine power decomposition.

Your expertise in data science subjects, such as simulation, optimization, and machine learning models, will be invaluable in delivering results.

• Analyzing container ship operations data (historical, noon reports, EEXI reports, HF data)
• Helping conceptualize building Digital Twin of large Container vessels (new and old ships in the fleet)
• Identifying all relevant data needed to build Container Ship Digital Twin
• Guiding data scientists with domain inputs for building Digital Twin
• Developing Digital Twin models that include Fuel Performance Curves, Vessel Hydrodynamic Stability, Vessel Safety thresholds at bad weather conditions, Power decomposition and other models as may be needed
• Modeling effect of windage, vessel speed, Drift, Trim, heel, hull condition, propeller condition, Engine condition, waves impact, wind impact, currents impact and other parameters affecting the fuel consumption
• Deriving parameters like Trim, Metacentric Height, Windage etc from various sources of base data
• Developing tactical solutions for avoiding Parametric and Synchronous rolling, including methods to alert concerned people with right recommendations
• Building visualisation of the Vessel Digital Twin for end-users, if necessary as per project deliverables
• Scanning and recommending process improvements, statutory guideline and updates, benchmarking (where necessary) in areas mentioned above

• About 12-20 years of experience in naval architecture – ship design, vessel digital twin, fuel performance curves etc for reputed shipping companies or in services companies serving the shipping industry
• Atleast 5 years of hands-on experience in conceptualising and building Container Vessel fuel consumption curves and other ship hydrodynamic performance models
• Hands on experience of building or running solutions like Vessel Digital Twin, Vessel Hydrodynamic Simulation etc
• Excellent appreciation and/or experience of Data Science subjects – Simulation, Optimization, ML models etc that may be relevant to deliver the results
• Excellent consulting skills – leadership in uncertain and ambiguous situations, problem solving and trouble shooting skills, solutioning and design thinking skills
• Excellent communication skills – spoken, written and in client facing roles
• Ability to guide teams on developing analytics solution blueprints to client problems which balance business context and technical details
• Ability to analyze pros-and-cons of different analytic options in the context of multitude of business problems, and articulate such choices to technical and business audiences
• Ability to build compelling stories from data / model outputs to convey insights to business stakeholders, and drive acceptance & adoption of recommended actions
• Confident in communicating with Director / VP level stakeholders, and demonstrate executive presence in interactions with CXO level stakeholders

Designation will be commensurate with expertise/experience. Compensation packages among the best in the industry.
