Job summary

Saronic Technologies Inc. seeks a Build Strategy & Throughput engineer to optimize how ships are designed and built, aligning production logic with facility layout.

This role sits at the intersection of product definition, build strategy, and facility architecture. This position ensures that buildings, cranes, transport routes, and production flow are optimized for throughput, repeatability, and scalability, while integrating across design, facilities, and operations teams.

Qualifications

• 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.

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.
