About the role
- We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge.
- This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.
- We pay our employees competitive salaries based on level of experience and offer meaningful equity in a fast growing company.
Responsibilities
- Own platform CAD and detailed design from concept through fabrication-ready deliverables
- Lead seaworthiness analysis: stability, structural loads, motion response, and survivability in extreme sea states
- Drive all third-party validation efforts - classification societies, independent engineering reviews, and regulatory approvals
- Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers.
- If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before - keep reading.
- We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, and runs autonomously.
- You'll be our Founding Ocean Engineer - the person responsible for making sure our platforms float, survive, and perform in the open ocean.
- You'll own the hull and structure from concept through physical validation, drive the CAD environment, and be the primary point of contact with classification societies and third-party validators.
Requirements
- Track record working directly with classification societies and regulatory bodies
- B.S./M.S. in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine Engineering
- Demonstrated experience taking a vessel or offshore platform from design through build and deployment
Company info
- We offer generous relocation assistance for candidates across the US.
