The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and its member states have set ambitious greenhouse gas emission goals for the next 25 years, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. However, given the average lifespan of an ocean-going vessel (approximately 25 years), the absence of a clear, agreed-upon roadmap to achieve these targets poses significant challenges already TODAY.
SEATOM Technologies supports the maritime industry's transition to net-zero by facilitating the adoption of nuclear propulsion for large vessels. The core team began its work well before this mode of power gained traction among shipowners. Since then, SEATOM has assembled a distinguished group of experts, including leaders in nuclear technology, regulatory compliance, naval architecture, and shipbuilding. www.seatomtech.com
We are looking for a MECHANICAL ENGINEER to contribute to the development of advanced maritime nuclear and reactor technologies!
Are you passionate about solving complex engineering challenges and applying your expertise in structural analysis and dynamic simulations to develop innovative technologies for naval and maritime environments?
In this role, you will work on technically demanding mechanical structures, with a particular focus on structural integrity, dynamic analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). You will have the opportunity to take ownership of challenging engineering problems and contribute directly to the development of innovative technical solutions.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Designing, analysing and dimensioning complex mechanical and protective structures.
Performing structural strength calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Conducting impact, blast, and other dynamic load analyses.
Simulating structural behaviour under different loading conditions, including dynamic and nonlinear scenarios.
Analysing assemblies consisting of steel plates, reinforcement elements, tie rods, and other structural components.
Collaborating closely with other engineering specialists to develop and optimise technical solutions.
Depending on your background and interests, you may also contribute to:
Mechanical mechanism design, including moving components, gears, actuators, and motion systems.
Design and structural analysis of pressure vessels, piping systems, and other pressure-containing components.
Mechanical design of reactor-related components and cooling structures.
Technical evaluation of supplier designs and structural integrity assessments.
Strength and fatigue analysis of heat exchangers and other mechanical equipment.
You are not expected to master every area listed above. The key priority is expertise in dynamic structural analysis and FEA. Other areas offer opportunities to broaden your responsibilities as the company develops.
The position will be based in Helsinki, Finland. The role emphasises on-site collaboration, as close interaction between engineering specialists is an important part of SEATOM's approach to technical development and problem-solving.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Strong hands-on experience in dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA), structural simulations, and strength calculations.
Solid understanding of structural dynamics, material behaviour, and mechanical design principles.
Experience in assessing complex mechanical loads and structural behaviour under dynamic conditions.
Proficiency in modern engineering simulation and analysis tools.
A Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Mechanics, or a related field.
A systematic, analytical, and solution-oriented approach to complex engineering challenges.
Ability to work independently, take ownership of technical tasks, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
Good communication skills in English.
We consider it an advantage if you have experience in:
Impact, blast, shock or nonlinear dynamic simulations.
Structural analysis of steel structures and complex mechanical assemblies.
Pressure vessels, pressure equipment, or piping systems.
Mechanical mechanisms, gears, actuators, or moving machinery.
Heavy industry, machinery manufacturing, mechanical product development, defence, energy or nuclear technology.
Naval architecture
