Hydrodynamics Engineer information

What does a hydrodynamics engineer do?

A Hydrodynamics Engineer analyzes and designs systems involving fluid motion, such as ship hulls, submarines, offshore structures, and propulsion systems. They use computational models, simulations, and experimental testing to optimize performance, efficiency, and stability in water environments. These engineers often work in industries like naval architecture, marine engineering, oil and gas, and renewable energy. Their expertise helps improve vessel maneuverability, reduce drag, and enhance overall hydrodynamic performance.

What are typical projects or tasks that a hydrodynamics engineer works on?

Hydrodynamics Engineers often work on projects involving the analysis and design of fluid flows for applications such as ship hulls, offshore structures, pipelines, or water turbines. Day-to-day tasks may include running simulations using CFD software, conducting model tests in labs or towing tanks, and collaborating closely with naval architects or structural engineers. The role frequently requires both independent analysis and teamwork, offering a mix of desk-based modeling and hands-on experimental work. Depending on your employer, you may also participate in site visits or prototype testing, contributing to the optimization of real-world engineering solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a hydrodynamics engineer, and why are they important?

Hydrodynamics Engineers typically require a solid background in fluid mechanics, computational modeling, and engineering principles, often supported by a degree in mechanical, marine, or civil engineering. Familiarity with tools like CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software, CAD programs, and experience with laboratory or field testing are commonly expected, and certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE) can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively are valuable soft skills for this role. Mastery of these abilities is crucial to designing efficient fluid systems, tackling complex hydrodynamic challenges, and contributing meaningfully to multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Job description

The Role

We went to market with our 3D-Printed Seawalls, which have since been tested, permitted, and installed throughout Florida. We’re now growing our product portfolio to also include artificial reefs and living shorelines products like wave dissipation and beach erosion devices. We need an engineer to lead the product innovation efforts to make sure that the new products are structurally sound, will successfully get permitted and are something that our 3D-Printing technology can deliver. The innovation engineer will design new products, as well as pressure-test the ones we already built, work out how they attach and install, source the raw materials, and bridge the sales and production team.

What You'll Own
  • New product development, from designs through physical testing, permitting, installation guides and field deployment. We started with seawalls, and are now building a library of other living shoreline products (3D-printed wave dissipation, beach erosion, tide pools etc.)
  • Review of engineering design plans alongside Leandro, our lead engineer
  • The bridge between sales and production, so what we sell is what we can actually print
  • Documentation of existing products and a real feedback loop from the field back into R&D
  • Technical representation with clients, agencies, partners, and at industry conferences
Who We're Looking For
  • Civil, mechanical, structural or coastal engineering.
  • Understanding of wave attenuation, sediment transport, and how a structure behaves under hydrodynamic loading.
  • PE license is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Marine background are a plus (i.e. minor in marine biology or a master's thesis on artificial reef hydrodynamics, shoreline stabilization, or hybrid coastal defense)
  • Physical product development. They have taken a real structure from concept to the water and participated in the permitting, engineering and installation process.
  • Experience with "nature-based solutions" like living shoreline, oyster reef, or hybrid breakwater projects they designed, permitted, and installed.
  • History interfacing with government agencies like building departments (City level), environmental agencies (like DERM in Miami-Dade County), FDEP (State) or USACE/FEMA (Federal).
Culture

Strong culture fit - passion for the ocean and excitement to get dirty and pioneer an industry with us. Looking for people 3 - 10 years in who are at an inflection point and ready to bet on something that will still be standing in the ocean long after the rest of us are gone.
