About the role
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
Job Overview
Saronic Technologies is seeking a Shipyard Optimization Manager to serve as a technical authority for shipyard build strategy, facility architecture, manufacturing engineering, operational flow, and automation integration.

- Advise on major equipment and crane selection strategies
- Translate technical trade-offs into clear decision frameworks for leadership
Required Experience & Background
- 10+ years of experience across shipyard facilities, manufacturing engineering, and operations.
- Demonstrated experience designing or transforming shipyard facilities
- Deep familiarity with block construction, heavy lift operations, and material flow
Strongly Preferred Experience
- Greenfield shipyard or major brownfield re-architecture projects
- Experience in high-throughput global shipyards or equivalent heavy industry
- Involvement in automated panel lines and block assembly halls.
