This role serves as the technical authority for hull platform evaluation, integration, and design validation across multiple vessel classes (e.g., monohulls and catamarans).
The engineer will ensure that vendor-designed hulls meet structural, hydrodynamic, and system integration requirements, while also supporting manufacturability and long-term scalability.
This is not just a design role—you are responsible for ensuring the hull works as part of the full system.
