Ocean Engineer / Naval Architect
About The Position
Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers. We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge. If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before — keep reading. We're not putting servers on a barge. 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. This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries. You'll be our Ocean Engineer and/or Naval Architect responsible for making sure our platforms float, survive, and perform in the open ocean. You'll own the hull and structure from concept through test and validation, drive the CAD and simulation environment, and be a primary point of contact with classification societies and third-party validators.
Requirements
- 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
Nice To Haves
- Track record working directly with classification societies and regulatory bodies is a plus
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
- Plan and execute physical testing programs: tank testing, load testing, and at-sea validation of prototype platforms
Benefits
- generous relocation assistance
- competitive salaries
- meaningful equity
