Job description

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
Job Overview
Saronic Technologies is seeking a Shipyard Optimization Manager to serve as a technical authority for shipyard build strategy, facility architecture, manufacturing engineering, operational flow, and automation integration.
This is a senior, architect-level SME role responsible for supporting the definition of how ships are built and ensuring that facilities, equipment, automation, and operations are structurally aligned to a throughput-driven production system.
This role exists to ensure that facility design is driven by production logic rather than forcing build strategy to adapt to fixed infrastructure.
Core Responsibilities
  • Define shipyard build strategies by vessel class, including panel lines, sub-assembly, and block assembly requirements, and pre-outfitting depth
  • Serve as a reviewer of facility layouts and spatial design
  • Integrate manufacturing engineering principles into facility and process design
  • Define and validate automation opportunities that create structural advantage
  • Advise on major equipment and crane selection strategies
  • Translate technical trade-offs into clear decision frameworks for leadership

Required Experience & Background
  • 10+ years of experience across shipyard facilities, manufacturing engineering, and operations.
  • Demonstrated experience designing or transforming shipyard facilities
  • Deep familiarity with block construction, heavy lift operations, and material flow
Strongly Preferred Experience
  • Greenfield shipyard or major brownfield re-architecture projects
  • Experience in high-throughput global shipyards or equivalent heavy industry
  • Involvement in automated panel lines and block assembly halls.

Benefits
  • Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services
  • Dental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care
  • Saronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents
  • Time Off: Generous PTO and Holidays
  • Parental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents
  • Competitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses
  • Retirement Plan: 401(k) plan
  • Stock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company's success
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
  • Additional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
