About this position
A liveable future for everyone: that is what we, as the Naval and Offshore Structures department, contribute to. We design, analyse, and test a wide range of mechanical structures for the maritime and offshore industry and for defence applications. The safety of these structures, under the most extreme conditions and throughout their entire service life, is central to our work.
We support the Ministry of Defence through research on current and future naval vessels and unmanned surface vessels (USVs) within the hybrid fleet. Our focus is on protecting the ship, its systems, and its crew under all operational conditions. Does this appeal to you, and would you like to contribute to the development of safe and sustainable vessels for the future? Then this position may be the perfect fit for you.
What will be your role?
New ship designs, alternative fuels, and evolving operational concepts such as the hybrid fleet introduce new challenges in the areas of safety, survivability, and recoverability. In this role, you will investigate how future ship designs can remain resilient to damage and how crews can effectively respond to incidents on board and within the fleet.
We are currently seeking several colleagues within this field. Please indicate in your application which area of expertise interests you most and why this is the field you would like to contribute to:
You work in a multidisciplinary team with experts from various fields and collaborate closely with clients and partners. In addition, you enhance TNO’s visibility through publications and presentations.
You will join the Naval and Offshore Structures department, consisting of 60 motivated experts with backgrounds in maritime engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, applied physics and mechanical engineering. Thanks to our well-equipped mechanical testing laboratories, practical and theoretical knowledge go hand in hand, enabling us to solve highly complex problems and validate innovative structural solutions.
Collaboration with other TNO laboratories and experts allows us to address additional challenges such as fluid dynamics and blast and shock resistance. Our research ranges from the safe use of alternative fuels on board ships and the structural safety of offshore wind turbines to shock- and explosion-resistant ship structures. We work on today’s key challenges: the energy transition and increasing safety at sea.
What we expect from you
ou hold an MSc degree in a relevant engineering discipline, such as Naval Architecture, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or Civil Engineering, with a specialization in structural mechanics and/or structural dynamics.
You have a strong theoretical foundation, are proficient in numerical methods, and possess practical insight into structural behaviour. You are interested in simulation techniques, system analysis, and maritime safety challenges. Experience with or affinity for programming languages such as Python is desirable. Knowledge of TQL is considered an advantage.
In addition to technical expertise, we highly value strong communication skills, customer focus, and a results-oriented mindset. You enjoy working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams to deliver solutions that are both practical and valuable to our clients.
You have an excellent command of both Dutch and English, spoken as well as written.
What you'll get in return
Challenging and varied work with a real impact. And plenty of opportunities as, at TNO, you are in charge of shaping your career. We offer a gross monthly salary between € 3, and € 6, (based on your knowledge and experience), 8% holiday pay, a 13th month bonus of 8.33% and a flex budget (5.58% + € ). In addition, you will be given every opportunity to develop yourself.
TNO offers optional employee benefits, enabling you to tailor your benefits package to match your personal situation. You may also expect:
