Vessel Performance Engineer

Job Description

About Anemoi Marine Technologies

At Anemoi, we’re on a journey to shake up the maritime industry with cutting-edge Rotor Sail technology. From our headquarters in the UK and production base in China, we’re developing and delivering advanced, automated wind-assisted propulsion systems that help shipowners and operators reduce fuel consumption and emissions… propelling the shipping industry toward a more sustainable, decarbonised future.

Our goal is ambitious yet simple: save 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per day by installing 500 Rotor Sails by 2030. Picture fleets of ships sailing world’s oceans with our Rotor Sail technology, harnessing renewable wind power to get the job done cleaner and more efficiently. We’re making that happen, one ship at a time.

We take ground breaking science and real-world engineering and turn it into products that work operationally at sea. Our diverse and collaborative teams work side by side, and around the globe, driven by a passion for sustainability and a relentless pursuit of technical excellence.

The mission, should you choose to accept, is to protect the maritime environment by harnessing the power of wind!

About the Role

What you will do

• Deliver rotor sail performance assessments and fuel savings predictions using operational data and analytical tools, critically evaluating results and their implications.
• Develop performance assessment plans and methodologies, defining how performance will be measured, simulated, analysed and evaluated.
• Investigate performance issues and technical questions through data analysis, supported by numerical simulation where it adds value.
• Support performance verification by preparing analysis and technical evidence for review with customers and independent third parties.
• Check the quality of data and results, ensuring analyses are reproducible and their assumptions and limitations are understood.
• Select suitable geometry, meshes, physical models, boundary conditions and solver settings; assess convergence, mesh sensitivity and other sources of numerical uncertainty.
• Compare simulation results with measurements, experiments and analytical estimates, explaining discrepancies and refining models where appropriate.
• Use Python to process data, prepare simulation inputs, analyse results and automate repeatable parts of the workflow.
• Interpret and communicate technical findings clearly to customers and colleagues.

What we are looking for:

Essential

• At least two years of relevant professional experience in an engineering, analytical or numerical simulation role.
• A degree in engineering, mathematics, or a related discipline.
• A sound understanding of engineering principles and fluid mechanics, with the ability to apply these to vessel performance and propulsion.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, including practical statistics, interpreting real-world data, accounting for uncertainty and judging whether results are physically reasonable.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical findings and prepare well-structured reports.
• A careful, methodical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to manage priorities and work both independently and collaboratively.
  

Desirable

• Python programming skills for engineering analysis, data processing and simulation workflows.
• Experience with Power BI
• Experience with MATLAB
• Some knowledge of GitHub
