- Austin, Texas
- Job Description
- Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.We are seeking a highly skilled Load & Dynamics Engineer to join our team working on cutting-edge autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) for the Department of Defense (DoD). As a Load & Dynamics Engineer, you will be responsible for modeling and analyzing the forces acting on our autonomous vessels, ensuring they meet operational requirements for performance and safety. You will play a key role in simulating vehicle behavior, designing load response models, and ensuring hardware is validated for real-world environments. This is an interdisciplinary role requiring understanding of dynamics, structural integrity, and system performance.Responsibilities
- Analyze and resolve dynamic load-related problems affecting autonomous surface vessels, utilizing a combination of analysis, simulation, and field data.
- Develop finite element models and lumped element models to simulate vessel response under various load conditions (e.g., waves, wind, operational stress).
- Perform dynamic testing from start to finish, including pre-test analysis, sensor selection and installation, test execution, data analysis, signal processing, and model validation.
- Own system-level dynamic analysis and recommend hardware or design changes across engineering teams to enhance vessel performance under dynamic conditions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to assess and refine vehicle design for load-bearing capability, ensuring it meets stringent operational and defense standards.
- Conduct advanced simulations to predict the behavior of autonomous vessels in complex environments (e.g., turbulent water, harsh weather, operational maneuvers).
- Write and modify software to support dynamic modeling, simulation, and analysis in commercial and in-house software platforms.
Qualifications- Bachelor’s degree or greater in Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related field.
- 2+ years of professional experience with dynamics, particularly in structural or fluid dynamics, with a focus on vehicle response to external forces.
- Strong experience with dynamic simulation and load analysis using industry-standard tools.
- Proven ability to conduct testing and data analysis to assess load dynamics in complex systems.
- Proficiency with software tools like MATLAB, Python, and commercial finite element modeling tools (e.g., NASTRAN).
- Hands-on experience with both dynamic analysis and hardware testing.
- Experience in the modeling of fluid-structure interaction, particularly in maritime environments.
- Knowledge of naval architecture and experience with hull, propulsion, and stability dynamics.
- Expertise in vibration, shock, and fatigue testing as it applies to large-scale marine or autonomous systems.
- Familiarity with control systems and integration of autonomous technologies within physical vessel systems.
- Experience working in defense-related industries, particularly with DoD contractors or government programs.
- Advanced knowledge of structural integrity and failure mechanisms related to dynamic loading conditions.
