The Build Strategy & Throughput engineer support defining how ships are built in a way that directly informs how the shipyard itself is designed. This role sits at the intersection of product definition, build strategy, and facility architecture, ensuring that buildings, cranes, transport routes, and production flow are optimized for throughput, repeatability, and scalability.

This role exists to ensure that facility design is driven by production logic rather than forcing build strategy to adapt to fixed infrastructure.

Core Responsibilities:

• Define block-based build strategies explicitly compatible with facility geometry and crane systems

• Establish block size, weight, and envelope targets that optimize throughput and flow

• Translate vessel class, annual build rate, and steel tonnage into facility capacity requirements

• Define pre-outfitting rules that maximize upstream labor and minimize shipboard work

• Identify and eliminate facility-driven throughput bottlenecks early in design

• Ensure material flow supports parallel workstreams and predictable sequencing

• Integrate build strategy across facilities, heavy lift, manufacturing engineering, and design teams

Required Experience & Skills:

• Experience in block-based ship construction or heavy modular fabrication environments

• Strong understanding of crane-driven production systems and facility constraints

• Demonstrated throughput and production-flow mindset

• Ability to work early with incomplete information to shape irreversible facility decisions

• Comfort operating at the interface of design, facilities, and operations

Preferred Background

• Experience influencing shipyard layouts, crane strategies, or major facility decisions

• Background in shipbuilding and facility layout design

• Experience in 3D modeling work flows

Benefits:

• Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services

• Dental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care

• Saronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents

• Time Off: Generous PTO and Holidays

• Parental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents

• Competitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses

• Retirement Plan: 401(k) plan

• Stock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success

• Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage

• Additional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
