Shipyard Build Strategy Engineer

Job description

The Build Strategy & Throughput engineer support defining how ships are built in a way that directly informs how the shipyard itself is designed. This role sits at the intersection of product definition, build strategy, and facility architecture, ensuring that buildings, cranes, transport routes, and production flow are optimized for throughput, repeatability, and scalability.

This role exists to ensure that facility design is driven by production logic rather than forcing build strategy to adapt to fixed infrastructure.

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous…

Job responsibilities

Define block-based build strategies explicitly compatible with facility geometry and crane systems
Establish block size, weight, and envelope targets that optimize throughput and flow
Translate vessel class, annual build rate, and steel tonnage into facility capacity requirements
Define pre-outfitting rules that maximize upstream labor and minimize shipboard work
Identify and eliminate facility-driven throughput bottlenecks early in design
Ensure material flow supports parallel workstreams and predictable sequencing
Integrate build strategy across facilities, heavy lift, manufacturing engineering, and design teams

Job requirements

Experience in block-based ship construction or heavy modular fabrication environments
Strong understanding of crane-driven production systems and facility constraints
Demonstrated throughput and production-flow mindset
Ability to work early with incomplete information to shape irreversible facility decisions
Comfort operating at the interface of design, facilities, and operations
