We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

The role

You will be part of a a diverse and multidisciplinary development team of four to eight development engineers. In consultation with other R&D engineers, you will provide expert technical advice related to electrical and electronic system integration, especially regarding the implementation and integration of new technologies.

A development engineer is eager to understand and solve complex problems and is naturally curious to learn new ways of working. As such, you will collaborate with the Research teams to initiate research projects, supporting the implementation of new technologies in existing and conceptual ship designs while ensuring the proper application of fundamental principles of relevant technologies.

Close collaboration with relevant stakeholders within and outside the Damen group, such as Design & Proposal, Engineering, Services, Production, and Damen Clients and suppliers, is part of your daily work.

Key accountabilities

In the role of Development Engineer, you will apply your knowledge of automation and system integration to provide insights and contribute to the further development of Damen's product range.

In this role you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the implementation of suitable electrical engineering principles in ship designs. You will offer consultative technical advice to business units, guiding them on product functionality, performance, and quality related to automation and system integration. This expertise is gaining importance within the maritime industry due to the rapid adoption of more sustainable energy systems and a higher demand for automated or autonomous systems. In the Development team we’re supporting the divisions to drive the development of the specifications, draft test strategies and test plans, carry out SIL/HIL tests of system parts and modules and finally support in the actual integration and acceptance trials.

You will also travel to visit shipyards to assist in commissioning and perform yard and sea trials. As a development engineer you will actually go on-board and check if your calculations were correct and use this to build experience and to maintain a hands-on approach.

These responsibilities highlight how important your role is in advancing Damen's technological push and pull, contributing to the dynamic and forward-thinking attitude of the Research & Development Department.
