  • Physically able to work in laboratory and field environments.
  • Excellent organizational, time management, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently and mentor junior staff.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with maritime-specific analyses (naval architecture, buoyancy, wave propagation).
  • FEA experience (mechanical, thermal, dynamic; ANSYS preferred).
  • Hydraulic and/or high-pressure pneumatic system design.
  • Familiarity with pressure vessel standards (ABS, ASME BPVC, DNV).
  • Hands-on skills in prototype building and testing.
  • Experience authoring proposals for U.S. Government contracts.
