Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom Spaera Ltd Full time
About Spaera Ltd

We are a pioneering start-up driven by the urgent need for clean shipping. Our mission is to deliver a scalable, zero-emission solution for the maritime industry, leveraging the latest innovations in maritime and adjacent fields. We believe that net-zero is not only achievable but also the most cost-effective way forward.

Our diverse team of experts in fluid dynamics, systems integration, logistics, strategy, and start-ups is united by the mission to reduce humanity's footprint on Earth. We aim to revolutionise marine logistics by harnessing the power of efficient design and wind energy.

About the Role

You will be an integral part of our efforts to industrialise Spaera's high-performance, proprietary wind propulsion technology. You will collaborate across departments to ensure our designs are optimised for peak performance, cost-efficiency, durability, and manufacturability.

This is a hands-on role where you will face a variety of challenges, offering the opportunity to have a direct and tangible impact on our mission. You will work closely with our team to drive innovation and push the boundaries of what is possible in maritime engineering.

  • Design and optimise mechanical systems and structures for our wind propulsion technology.
  • Utilise 3D CAD software to develop detailed models and simulations.
  • Collaborate with our team to ensure designs meet performance and regulatory standards while balancing factors such as cost and manufacturability.
  • Apply broad knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes to refine our designs for industrial scalability.
  • Support the integration of mechanical systems within the larger ship design process, considering factors such as structural integrity and overall ship performance.
Requirements

To succeed in this role, you will require:

  • An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering, with strong technical proficiency in 3D CAD systems (such as Catia, NX, Solidworks, or Fusion360).
  • A solid understanding of structural performance, manufacturing processes, and materials.
  • Familiarity with structural engineering and experience with finite element analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS).
  • Postgraduate qualifications in Mechanical or Marine Engineering, or related fields (desired).
  • Expertise in mechanical design engineering within the maritime industry (desired).
  • Knowledge of commercial ship design standards and regulatory compliance within the maritime industry (desired).
What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary (£60,000 - £80,000 per annum) and benefits package, including a flexible working arrangement and the possibility of occasional in-person meetings near London, Portsmouth, or Southampton.
