Ship Energy Modeling Engineer

Ship Energy Modeling Engineer

Location: Chennai (Siruseri)

Experience: 9+ years

Choosing our organization means joining a team committed to innovation in maritime energy systems. You’ll work on advanced simulation libraries that optimize ship efficiency and contribute to sustainable shipping solutions.

Your Role

As a Ship Energy Modeling Engineer, you will develop and validate models for propulsion, thermal, electrical, and hydrodynamic/aerodynamic systems. You’ll collaborate with R&D experts and cross-disciplinary teams to create robust simulation frameworks.

In this role, you will:

• Develop and maintain energy system modeling libraries for ships.
• Create and validate modular components for propulsion, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems.
• Integrate hydrodynamic and aerodynamic resistance models (hull drag, wind loads, added resistance).
• Implement testing frameworks to ensure model robustness and accuracy.
• Calibrate and verify models using experimental data, real data, component specs, or expert knowledge.
• Write technical documentation, including user manuals and model specifications.
• Reuse and generalize modeling blocks for a range of vessel types and configurations.
• Use Dymola (Modelica) or equivalent platforms to develop simulation models.
• Collaborate with domain experts (propulsion, hull design, HVAC, electrical systems, naval architecture) to implement validated system representations.

Your Profile

• Master’s degree in Energy Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or related field.
• 9+ years of experience in system modeling, thermodynamics, electrical systems, hydrodynamics, and energy analysis.
• Expertise in physical system modeling using tools such as Dymola/Modelica, Simulink, AMESim, or similar.
• Strong understanding of ship propulsion systems, HVAC, auxiliaries, and their energy interactions.
• Knowledge of hydrodynamics (resistance, propulsion curves) and aerodynamics (wind loads, air drag) is a strong asset.
• Familiarity with control system modeling, component-based architecture, and system optimization techniques.
• Solid programming and model documentation practices.
• Proficiency in technical English.

What You’ll Love About Working Here

• Opportunity to work on innovative projects in maritime energy systems.
• Collaborative work environment with R&D and engineering experts.
• Flexibility in modeling tools and methods to encourage creativity and efficiency.
• Contribution to sustainable shipping and energy efficiency.
