The Senior Systems Integration Engineer is a technical leader responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing the integration of complex mechanical and electrical systems aboard marine platforms. This role ensures that propulsion, power distribution, HVAC, automation, and auxiliary systems operate cohesively throughout the vessel lifecycle—from design and construction to commissioning and operation. The engineer plays a critical role in interface definition, compliance assurance, system validation, and resolution of cross-disciplinary engineering issues, working closely with internal teams, shipyards, equipment suppliers, and classification societies.
Lead systems integration strategy and architecture definition across mechanical and electrical domains for marine vessels
Own and manage interface control documents (ICDs), integration test plans, and verification protocols
Drive resolution of high-impact technical issues at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and control systems
Oversee end-to-end integration activities, including design reviews, cable and pipe routing coordination, and system alignment
Lead system-level testing, including factory acceptance tests (FAT), harbor acceptance tests (HAT), and sea acceptance tests (SAT)
Ensure integration compliance with classification societies (e.g., ABS, DNV, LR) and regulatory bodies (e.g., IMO, IEC, SOLAS)
Act as the technical liaison with equipment vendors, integrators, and customers during complex integration and commissioning phases
Guide digital interface development for automation, control, and monitoring systems (e.g., PLCs, SCADA, shipboard networks)
Mentor junior engineers and lead integration work packages in shipyards or project offices
Contribute to continuous improvement in integration processes, tools, and design-for-integration principles
Holistic integration of propulsion, power, HVAC, and control systems
Marine compliance and interface standardization
Advanced commissioning, verification, and acceptance testing
Leadership in integration strategy, design validation, and technical coordination
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline (required)
Master’s degree or professional certifications (e.g., PMP, INCOSE, CEng) are a plus
Experience:
7+ years of experience in marine systems engineering, integration, or shipboard commissioning
Proven track record of leading mechanical-electrical integration on shipbuilding or offshore platform projects
Experience coordinating with shipyards, OEMs, and class societies
Technical Skills:
Deep understanding of marine mechanical/electrical systems and cross-functional interfaces
Strong command of integration tools: ICDs, system models, P&IDs, SLDs, 3D layout coordination
Familiarity with PLCs, automation networks (MODBUS, CAN, Profibus), and control panel integration
Proficiency with AutoCAD, EPLAN, AVEVA Marine, or equivalent tools
Experience interpreting and applying international marine standards (ABS, DNV, IEC 60092, IMO)
Soft Skills:
Strong leadership, team coordination, and mentoring capabilities
Excellent troubleshooting, documentation, and risk management skills
Clear communicator across disciplines, from engineering to commissioning to executive stakeholders
Solution-driven, adaptable, and decisive under time-critical and field-based constraints
