We believe you bring experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Several years of experience in complex system integration projects, within domains such as naval, offshore (oil & gas platforms), aerospace, defense, energy, or other large‑scale industrial or infrastructure systems.
• Experience working with platform‑based or product‑based environments, covering design, installation, integration, or commissioning phases (e.g. ships, offshore platforms, aircraft, or large industrial systems).
• Strong understanding of system integration, system‑of‑systems architectures, and multidisciplinary engineering environments.

It is a plus if you also have:

• Experience in the defense industry.
• Knowledge of electrical systems, cabling, power, or HVAC onboard ships.
• Experience with AVEVA Engineering or similar tools.
• Experience handling installation data and related shipyard documentation.
