If you want to contribute to innovative maritime simulation software, VSTEP has the perfect opportunity for you!

As hydrodynamics engineer intern you will get a chance to work with our hydrodynamics models to create realistically manoeuvring vessels. Also, we would be able to offer you a research project ranging for development of a new engine model to improving ocean and wind interaction to contribute to the automation of data validation and configuration processes.

A grasp from your daily work will be:

• Configure and maintain hydrodynamic models and relevant sub-systems for the customer ships on our maritime simulators.
• Perform validation of the ship models.
• Provide support to the existing customers to upgrade or maintain the customer ships on our maritime simulators.
• Assist the software development team with the implementation of numerical models for ship hydrodynamics.
• Maintain technical documentations for ship models.
