Career Opportunities

VT Maritime Dynamics, Inc. (MDI) is the world leading designer and supplier of marine motion control systems for high-speed vessels. MDI designs and builds the effectors (active trim tabs, fins, interceptors, T-foils, and lifting foils), hydraulics, and electronics. MDI will also occasionally assist shipyards and owners with hull design and model testing.

Vessels include fast monohulls, catamarans, wave piercing catamarans, trimarans, surface effect ships, hovercraft, and hydrofoils. MDI's design tools are state-of-the-art. MDI's naval architects, marine, and mechanical engineers use full 3-D CAD and on-line FEA for design modeling and simulations.

MDI's electrical engineers use the latest circuit and control system analysis tools. MDI's engineers and technicians are world class and become recognized experts in their fields. Engineers at MDI become multidisciplinary because they follow projects through design, fabrication, installation, and system commissioning. In addition to their field of specialization, all engineers become conversant with electronics, hydraulics, mechanisms, structures, hydrodynamics, and control systems.

MDI is not a paper mill; motivated design engineers who want to make an impact are required. Design cycles from project start to installation and commissioning are short, usually 3 to 9 months. MDI's engineers are given tremendous responsibility and opportunity for technical and professional growth.

MDI is always looking for talented individuals with multidisciplinary skills in the following areas:

Electrical Design Engineers: 0-5 years experience. Control systems engineer with knowledge of servo feedback loops. Experience with shipboard wiring or other complex system wiring as used in data acquisition or machinery control and automation systems preferred. Thorough understanding of non-DOS embedded software, DOS based programming, MS-Windows, and Pascal or C programming language preferred. Demonstrated ability to integrate control system hardware and software preferred. Demonstrated skills in electronic systems design/testing/troubleshooting preferred. Ability to work with multiple projects and communicate effectively with management, engineering, and production personnel.

Electronics Technicians: 0-2 years experience with cable assembly and printed circuit assembly to assist with production of shipboard electronic control systems preferred. Experience in basic cable termination techniques and soldering preferred. Some experience in electronic manufacturing environment preferred. Duties may include preparing purchase orders for inventory buildup of electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic parts and assemblies; conducting source inspection and acceptance of vendor supplied parts and assemblies; managing inventory and coordinating shipments. Additional duties may include working with engineers on electrical system improvements. Working with MIL specs a plus. Good communication skills required.

Hydraulics Design Engineers: 0-5 years design experience needed to take hydraulic system design and component selection through production to shipboard installation and commissioning in a challenging multidisciplinary (structures, mechanisms, controls, electronics) environment. Degree in ME or MET preferred. CAD experience preferred. Short (6-9 month) product design cycles.

Mechanical Design Engineers: 0-5 years design experience needed to work with state-of-the-art solids modeling and on-line FEA tools in a challenging multidisciplinary (structures, hydraulics, controls, electronics) environment. Degree in ME, MET, or NA preferred. CAD experience preferred. Take designs from concept to shipboard installation and commissioning. Short (6-9 month) product design cycles.

Salary for all positions is commensurate with experience. Good benefits and growth potential. Friendly and casual working environment. Great design tools and lots of responsibility. Some travel may be required. EOE/M/F/D/V
