The Systems Integration Engineer is responsible for the successful integration, verification, and optimization of mechanical and electrical systems across marine platforms, including commercial vessels, offshore units, or naval ships. This role involves coordinating multidisciplinary systems—such as propulsion, HVAC, electrical power, automation, and auxiliary subsystems—to ensure functional compatibility and compliance with marine industry regulations. The engineer collaborates with design, commissioning, and operations teams to resolve interface challenges and support the full integration lifecycle from design through sea trials.
Lead integration planning and interface control for mechanical and electrical subsystems onboard vessels
Analyze system architectures, technical drawings, and control logic to identify and resolve interface conflicts
Coordinate with design, manufacturing, and commissioning teams to ensure seamless mechanical-electrical integration
Support and supervise system installation and cable/hose routing to meet marine layout constraints and safety standards
Perform and document functional, interface, and acceptance testing (FAT, HAT, SAT) for integrated systems
Troubleshoot system-level issues during dock trials and sea trials; drive root cause analysis and resolution
Prepare integration documentation, including interface control documents (ICDs), test procedures, and change reports
Ensure compliance with classification society requirements (ABS, DNV, IMO, IACS) and customer specifications
Contribute to continuous improvement of integration processes and standard operating procedures
Support technical liaison with vendors, subcontractors, and regulatory bodies for system interface validation
Cross-functional integration of mechanical, electrical, and automation systems
Systems interface management and conflict resolution
Technical leadership during testing, commissioning, and trials
Standards compliance and verification of integrated marine systems
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Marine Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (required)
Experience:
3–6 years of experience in systems integration or commissioning, preferably in marine, defense, or offshore sectors
Experience with marine systems such as propulsion, HVAC, power distribution, PLCs, or automation platforms
Familiarity with shipboard system installations and design standards
Technical Skills:
Strong understanding of system-level engineering, interface control, and functional testing
Ability to interpret P&IDs, electrical single-line diagrams, block diagrams, and cable schedules
Proficiency with engineering tools such as AutoCAD, EPLAN, SolidWorks, and MS Project
Working knowledge of classification standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, IEC 60092, IMO codes)
Familiarity with PLC-based automation and shipboard control systems is a plus
Soft Skills:
Effective communication and documentation skills for cross-discipline collaboration
Strong organizational and project coordination abilities
Ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues under time constraints
Detail-oriented and hands-on, with a proactive approach to integration risks
