Systems Engineer

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

About Us

Think ship design is routine? Think again. 

At Damen Engineering Gdańsk, we work on some of the most exciting projects on the market. Drone carriers? We’ve got them. Tugs? Of course. From barges and offshore service vessels like CSOVs and walk-to-work ships, all the way to advanced navy platforms — this is where the future of shipbuilding is shaped. 

As Damen Engineering Gdańsk we are set up to be involved into the engineering process from the moment when an idea is generated by the client to the vessel delivery. We are responsible for transforming the initial design into a complete and practicable engineering package.

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Are you ready to try?

The Role

We’re looking for a Systems Engineer who sees the vessel as a whole, not just one piece. Someone who understands how engines depend on fuel systems, how power flows into propulsion, and how automation connects with navigation and safety. 

You’ll fit if you have a broad knowledge of shipbuilding who will also be eager to design and develop systems for vessels — from construction and mechanics to electrical, automation, and navigation systems. If you have experience in designing technical systems, can combine knowledge from various fields of engineering, and want to have a real impact on the quality of projects – this offer is for you.
 

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for an experienced engineer responsible for designing and supervising design processes, with experience and knowledge in structural, mechanical, electrical, automation, radio-navigation systems, onboard equipment, interiors, and stability of watercraft. In this role, you will be responsible for planning, implementing, supervising, and verifying work, as well as evaluating the quality of design solutions to ensure that the project meets client requirements, classification regulations, and applicable quality and regulatory standards.

Key Accountabilities

• Designing and supervising structural, mechanical, electrical, automation, radio-navigation systems, onboard equipment, and interiors of vessels to ensure that designs comply with client requirements, classification regulations, and quality and regulatory standards.
• Creating design solutions that address complex and unique problems, requiring the integration of knowledge from various engineering fields, interpreting client requirements, classification standards, and implementing design solutions in a multidisciplinary and dynamic environment.
• Solving interdisciplinary engineering problems, assessing technical risks, and optimizing solutions in terms of cost, functionality, safety, and compliance with classification regulations.
• Performing, supervising, and verifying design calculations: class, mass, power and heat balances, stability and structural analyses.
• Creating and approving functional descriptions of systems. Developing lists, registers, summaries, documents, and technical reports. Creating and supervising 3D models of floating units: mechanical and electrical systems, technical spaces, stability and strength models.
• Preparing test plans (FAT, HAT, SAT).

Skills & Experience

• Higher technical education (preferred: shipbuilding, marine engineering, mechanics).
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in ship/offshore systems projects.
• Knowledge of CAD/CAE tools, MS Project.
• Ability to analyze and solve complex technical problems.
• Independence in making design and technical decisions.
• Up-to-date knowledge and openness to acquiring knowledge beyond the scope.
• Good command of the English language at B2 level (written and verbal);

What We Offer

• Participation in international prestigious engineering projects with a high level of complexity. Our portfolio is full of projects you won’t find anywhere else.
• Opportunities for professional and technical development in an international environment.  You’ll develop across mechanical, electrical, automation, stability and more.
• Work from Alchemia's modern office in Gdańsk with one million dollar view as well as the option for home office if you need some flexibility. 
• Medical care by Medicover and life insurance. Cafeteria.
