The Build Strategy & Throughput engineer supports defining how ships are built in a way that directly informs how the shipyard itself is designed. This role sits at the intersection of product definition, build strategy, and facility architecture, ensuring that buildings, cranes, transport routes, and production flow are optimized for throughput, repeatability, and scalability.
\nCore Responsibilities:\nDefine block-based build strategies explicitly compatible with facility geometry and crane systems\nEstablish block size, weight, and envelope targets that optimize throughput and flow\nTranslate vessel class, annual build rate, and steel tonnage into facility capacity requirements\nDefine pre-outfitting rules that maximize upstream labor and minimize shipboard work\nIdentify and eliminate facility-driven throughput bottlenecks early in design\nEnsure material flow supports parallel workstreams and predictable sequencing\nIntegrate build strategy across facilities, heavy lift, manufacturing engineering, and design teams
\nRequired Experience & Skills:\nExperience in block-based ship construction or heavy modular fabrication environments\nStrong understanding of crane-driven production systems and facility constraints\nDemonstrated throughput and production-flow mindset\nAbility to work early with incomplete information to shape irreversible facility decisions\nComfort operating at the interface of design, facilities, and operations
\nPreferred Background:\nExperience influencing shipyard layouts, crane strategies, or major facility decisions\nBackground in shipbuilding and facility layout design\nExperience in 3D modeling work flows
\nBenefits:\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays\nParental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents\nCompetitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses\nRetirement Plan: 401(k) plan\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\nAdditional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
