We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Junior Valve Design Engineer to support the design, development, and testing of valves used in marine service environments. This role focuses on assisting in the design of valves for demanding shipboard applications, ensuring reliability, safety, and compliance with marine standards. It offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in fluid control systems in highly corrosive and performance-critical conditions.
Valve Design Support: Assist in the conceptual and detailed design of valves (e.g., ball, gate, globe, butterfly, check) for marine applications.
Material Selection for Marine Environments: Support selection of corrosion-resistant materials suitable for saltwater and marine operating conditions.
3D Modeling & Drafting: Create and modify CAD models, drawings, and bills of materials under the supervision of senior engineers.
Testing & Validation: Participate in valve testing activities including pressure, leakage, and flow performance testing.
Documentation & Compliance: Help generate design reports, test procedures, and compliance documentation aligned with marine classification society rules (e.g., ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s).
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside fluid system, piping, and instrumentation engineers to ensure integrated system performance.
Continuous Learning: Build technical expertise in valve mechanics, marine engineering practices, and industry standards.
Support the design and development of valve products used in shipboard and offshore environments.
Assist in preparing engineering drawings, technical specifications, and documentation.
Perform basic calculations and simulations related to flow, pressure, and valve sizing.
Participate in failure analysis and design reviews.
Contribute to prototype assembly and performance testing.
Ensure designs meet marine safety, durability, and operational requirements.
Maintain design records and support product lifecycle documentation.
Collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve production issues.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or a related discipline.
0–2 years of engineering experience; internship or project experience in valve or mechanical component design preferred.
Basic understanding of fluid mechanics, mechanical design, and materials science.
Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo) and engineering documentation.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Willingness to learn and grow in a technically demanding marine-focused role.
Understanding of corrosion and material performance in marine environments is a plus.
Willingness to travel occasionally to shipyards or test facilities.
Internship or project work involving valve design or marine systems.
Exposure to FEA, CFD, or mechanical testing techniques.
Familiarity with marine standards and regulatory bodies (e.g., IMO, ABS, DNV).
