## About the Role

Leading Edge Technology, Transportation Routing, Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP), Heavy Lifting, Manufacturing Engineering, Production Systems, 3D Modeling, Orthodontics, Vision Plan, Dental Insurance, * 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

## Description

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms., 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
