Job Description:

Cydecor is seeking a Naval Architect to provide support to a Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) customer. There are several openings spanning junior to senior positions.

This Naval Architect will design, build, and maintain Unmanned Systems (UxSs) in PMS 406's portfolio. This role will use knowledge of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, flotation and stability, structures, arrangements, and construction, and cost and survivability assessment to synthesize the often conflicting demands from competing design constraints to determine the most balanced designs for UxSs. This role requires proficiency with modern computation tools to perform UUV and USV design studies.

We are seeking a skilled Naval Architect to bring strong ship architecture and design competency for Navy clients. At the intersection of mission and technology, this role will help Navy acquisition organizations acquire or develop mission-suitable Navy vessels and systems. This role involves applying your naval architecture experience to performing and supporting related research and development (R&D), integration, and test and evaluation (T&E) activities in support of acquisition programs for Navy shipbuilding. You will help to architect, design, and evaluate the operation of naval vessels and develop ship concept designs, conduct concept design studies and analyses, and perform operational or performance evaluations.

You'll prepare reports and make recommendations for design changes. You'll identify and apply regulatory, industry, and Navy standards.

You bring a zest for understanding how marine vessels are designed, how the naval architecture discipline contributes to the overall realization of a ship, and how to find and proactively mitigate risks in ship designs. You have advanced skills and competencies in vessel design conceptualization, arrangements, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, requirements development, and performance characterization.
