Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ocean Atomics is an American company designing and assembling standardized nuclear electric power plants for maritime applications. As the Naval Architecture Arrangements and Weights Lead, you will oversee the internal spatial footprint and mass distribution for vessels, ensuring stability and integration of the nuclear electric plant throughout its lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Lead general arrangements and space allocation across all compartments, matching operational profiles to marine accessibility and egress standards
- Build and maintain the weight engineering matrices and equipment envelopes across active design loops, keeping a single source of truth for mass as the design evolves
- Track center of gravity and run moment calculations so the vessel holds stability through construction, transit, and decades of operation
- Hold the weight, moment, and spatial margins that let our nuclear electric plant integrate into the vessel without late-stage structural overhauls
- Drive 3D spatial coordination with the structures, propulsion, and routing teams to resolve interferences between structural elements, machinery, and distribution systems before they reach the shipyard
- Produce the weight summaries, deadweight survey procedures, and general arrangement drawings that clear classification society (ABS, LR, etc.) and flag state (USCG, etc.) reviews
Skills
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or a related marine systems discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Track record leading weight control programs and general arrangements for complex commercial vessels or offshore energy infrastructure, from concept through class approval. Typically built over 8+ years in naval architecture. Depth of experience and successful weight and arrangement programs is valued above years of experience
- Working command of 3D CAD platforms (ShipConstructor, AVEVA Marine, Rhino, or equivalent) and weight-tracking tools, with knowledge of SNAME weight control guidelines and classification society rules
- Experience with highly regulated vessel classes or offshore energy structures
- Familiarity with balancing heavy, concentrated mass items within marine structures
- Cross-functional experience partnering with structures, propulsion, and hydrodynamics teams on integrated designs
- International regulatory experience (IMO, foreign flag states)
