Role Overview:
We are looking for an experienced Naval Architect to lead the design and development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), with a robust focus on hull design, hydrodynamics, structural integrity, underwater performance, and overall vehicle architecture.
The role involves translating AUV operational and performance requirements into robust hull and structural designs, while ensuring the vehicle meets requirements related to hydrodynamic efficiency, pressure resistance, buoyancy, stability, weight, safety, manufacturability, and underwater operating conditions.
The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in Naval Architecture, Hull Design, Structural Engineering, Hydrodynamics, CAD modelling, and CFD analysis, with relevant experience in AUVs, UUVs, submarines, underwater vehicles, marine vessels, or similar engineering applications.

Roles & Responsibilities:
• Lead the design and development of AUV hulls and associated structural architecture.
• Develop hull concepts and detailed designs considering hydrodynamics, structural integrity, buoyancy, stability, weight,



payload, and operational requirements.
• Perform and review hydrodynamic analysis and CFD simulations to optimize hull geometry, drag, resistance, and underwater performance.
• Carry out structural design and analysis of hulls and underwater structures for operational and hydrostatic/hydrodynamic loads.
• Design and optimize structures considering underwater pressure, operating depth, environmental conditions, and safety requirements.
• Evaluate and select suitable lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials for underwater applications.
• Develop and maintain detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, engineering drawings, and design documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or equivalent tools.
• Work closely with Mechanical, Propulsion, Electrical, Electronics, Autonomy, Systems Engineering, and Manufacturing teams for overall AUV integration.
• Assess the impact of hull
