As a Junior Marine Boiler Engineer, you will assist in the design, thermal modeling, and performance evaluation of marine boiler systems for commercial vessels, naval ships, and offshore platforms. This role supports senior engineers in ensuring thermal efficiency, regulatory compliance, and integration with shipboard mechanical systems. The engineer will work with heat transfer simulations, pressure vessel codes, and marine classification standards in boiler design projects.
Assist in the thermal and fluid dynamic analysis of water-tube and fire-tube marine boilers.
Contribute to the design and sizing of boiler components, including economizers, superheaters, and burners.
Support heat balance calculations and performance simulations for various load conditions.
Aid in the material selection and specification review for boiler components based on temperature and pressure criteria.
Participate in design reviews, technical documentation, and regulatory submittals.
Work with senior engineers to ensure compliance with IMO, ABS, DNV, and other marine standards.
Support troubleshooting and root cause investigations of thermal performance issues in fielded units.
Assist in the preparation of technical manuals and system performance summaries.
Help coordinate with cross-functional teams for integration with propulsion, HVAC, and auxiliary systems.
Thermal analysis and heat transfer modeling (steady-state and transient)
Marine boiler design optimization for efficiency and space constraints
Support for compliance with marine safety and pressure vessel standards
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related discipline (required)
Experience:
0–2 years of experience in thermal system design, pressure vessels, or marine systems (internships and co-op experience considered)
Technical Skills:
Basic knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics
Exposure to software such as EES, ANSYS, COMSOL, or SolidWorks Flow Simulation
Understanding of marine boiler types, fuel types (HFO, MGO, LNG), and combustion principles
Familiarity with standards like ASME Section I, IMO SOLAS, DNV Rules for Boilers and Pressure Vessels
Soft Skills:
Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
Ability to interpret engineering drawings and P&IDs
Willingness to work in cross-functional, shipboard, or dockyard environments
Clear and concise technical communication and documentation skills
