SeniorLead
About the role
- Develop and maintain energy system modeling libraries for ships.
- Create and validate modular components for propulsion, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems.
- Integrate hydrodynamic and aerodynamic resistance models (hull drag, wind loads, added resistance).
- Implement testing frameworks to ensure model robustness and accuracy.
- Calibrate and verify models using experimental data, real data, component specs, or expert knowledge.
- Write technical documentation, including user manuals and model specifications.
- Reuse and generalize modeling blocks for a range of vessel types and configurations.
- Use Dymola (Modelica) or equivalent platforms to develop simulation models.
- Collaborate with domain experts (propulsion, hull design, HVAC, electrical systems, naval architecture) to implement validated system representations.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Energy Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or related field.
- 9+ years of experience in system modeling, thermodynamics, electrical systems, hydrodynamics, and energy analysis.
- Expertise in physical system modeling using tools such as Dymola/Modelica, Simulink, AMESim, or similar.
- Strong understanding of ship propulsion systems, HVAC, auxiliaries, and their energy interactions.
- Knowledge of hydrodynamics (resistance, propulsion curves) and aerodynamics (wind loads, air drag) is a strong asset.
- Familiarity with control system modeling, component-based architecture, and system optimization techniques.
- Solid programming and model documentation practices.
- Proficiency in technical English.
Benefits
- Opportunity to work on innovative projects in maritime energy systems.
- Collaborative work environment with R&D and engineering experts.
- Flexibility in modeling tools and methods to encourage creativity and efficiency.
- Contribution to sustainable shipping and energy efficiency.
