* Hull form design and optimisation, including automating the optimisation process for various hull forms.
* Collaboration in hull structural design and drawings for regulatory body submission, liaising with structural specialists and creating detailed drawings for manufacture.
* Surface and submerged stability assessments.
* Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineers) to ensure integration and compatibility of vessel systems.
