About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing maritime technology company pioneering wind-assisted propulsion systems to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in global shipping. This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage and help shape how their control systems are designed, tested, and deployed at sea.

The Role

This is a blank-page opportunity for an ambitious Controls Engineer with 3–4 years’ experience (or more). Your attitude, curiosity, and willingness to learn are just as important as technical skills. You’ll own the full controls lifecycle – from architecture and algorithm design to on-board commissioning – and help establish a world-class controls capability as the company grows.

Key Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain control systems for compact wind propulsion technology.

Define and evolve control-system architecture, linking sensors, effectors, and processors.

Develop, test, and commission control algorithms for reliability, performance, and usability.

Create intuitive HMIs for demanding marine environments.

Carry out on-board commissioning, troubleshooting, and system optimisation.

Capture requirements and ensure traceability through the full lifecycle.
