Hire the best

Why outstaff? With smartbrain.io you tap a global dock of certified Naval Architecture minds without bloating payroll. Zero recruitment fees, guaranteed replacement, and instant scalability mean you pay only for productive hours while we shoulder HR, taxes, hardware, and compliance. Our outstaffing model puts vetted engineers inside your workflows in 48 h, aligning to your CAD stack, class-society rules, and shipyard milestones. Skip visa headaches, slash overhead by up to 40 %, and stay laser-focused on vessel performance—not head-count management.

Industries We Propel

Shipbuilding & Repair

Outstaffing Naval Architecture engineers for shipyards accelerates hull form optimization, scantling calculations, and retrofit checks. Specialists align with class-society rules, generate production-ready drawings, and integrate seamlessly with your PLM. The model slashes downtime between design and fabrication, keeps capex lean, and gives you surge capacity during dry-dock seasons.

Offshore Oil & Gas

Hire Naval Architect augmentation to model FPSO topsides, mooring systems, and stability under variable deck loads. Engineers deliver fatigue analysis, FEA, and SOLAS compliance without adding full-time headcount, letting EPC firms bid competitively and mobilize assets faster.

Offshore Wind Farms

When jacket foundations and SOVs must launch on schedule, Naval Architecture outstaffing fills calculation gaps—hydrodynamics, seakeeping, and transport stress. Scale teams as turbine orders ebb and flow while preserving IP and meeting DNV-GL standards.

Maritime Defense

Defense primes use outstaffed Naval Architecture engineers to augment stealth frigate programs, manage shock analysis, and document MIL-STD specs, all within ITAR-compliant secure environments that smartbrain.io provisions on demand.

Luxury Yachts

Hire Naval Architect experts for custom super-yacht hull shaping, interior space optimization, and hybrid-propulsion integration. Outstaffing ensures confidentiality, white-glove communication, and easy scale when owner specs evolve mid-build.

Cruise & Ferry Lines

Peak refurbishment rush? Naval Architecture engineers on demand handle cabin block re-arrangements, weight control, and SOLAS retrofit rules. Flexible contracts cut idle costs once the vessel sails again.

Port & Terminal Design

Civil consultancies extend reach by outstaffing Hire Naval Architect talent for dredging studies, berth layout, and vessel-maneuver simulations, ensuring throughput models stay profitable while internal teams chase new bids.

Marine Research

Universities and NGOs leverage Naval Architecture staff augmentation to craft experimental hulls, CFD models, and instrument mounts—grant-based budgets stay healthy thanks to pay-as-you-go engagement.

Autonomous Vessels

Startups developing USVs count on outstaffed Naval Architects for lightweight composite structures, redundancy analysis, and regulatory pathways, keeping burn-rate in check while racing competitors to market.

Leaders Trust Smartbrain.io

Smartbrain.io cut our hiring cycle from months to days. Their Naval Architecture engineers slotted straight into our CATIA workflows, handled class calculations, and freed my core team to focus on LNG fuel-system R&D. Productivity jumped 28 % in the first sprint, with zero onboarding friction.

Laura Mitchell

CTO

BlueWave Shipyards

We needed rapid stability analysis for a defense prototype. The outstaffed architects delivered on MIL-STD shock requirements ahead of schedule, letting us pass a critical design review and avoid a $2 M penalty. The replacement guarantee gave my board extra confidence.

Ethan Roberts

VP Engineering

Aegis Marine Systems

Smartbrain.io’s vetting process is gold. Every candidate mastered Orca3D and CFD, so integration with our yacht studio was seamless. Hourly flexibility meant we scaled down after concept freeze, trimming 35 % from expected OPEX without losing talent for future phases.

Megan Carter

Design Director

Celeste Yachts

Offshore wind timelines are brutal. Their augmented Naval Architects churned out foundation drawings while in-house staff battled permitting. The dual-shift model across time zones gave us 20 h/day progress, letting us win a competitive EDF bid.

Daniel Perez

Project Manager

Helios Renewables

Cost transparency was key. Fixed weekly rates, no recruitment fees, and instant substitution kept our cruise retrofit under budget. Quality audits from Smartbrain.io’s PM assured SOLAS compliance without micromanagement.

Olivia Kim

Fleet Technical Lead

OceanVista Cruises

We were skeptical about remote Naval Architecture work. Yet the CFD specialists integrated via VPN, attended daily stand-ups, and beat our drag targets by 12 %. Outstaffing avoided a relocation nightmare and saved us 42 % versus local hires.

FAQ: Naval Architecture Staff Augmentation

What is the true cost to hire Naval Architecture engineers through smartbrain.io compared to in-house recruitment?

Total cost of ownership is far more than a salary. When you Hire Naval Architect talent in-house you absorb recruiter fees, onboarding time, payroll tax, benefits, visas, software, hardware, and the ever-present risk of bad hires. smartbrain.io bundles all that into a single transparent hourly or monthly rate that is typically 30–45 % lower than the fully-loaded cost of local employment. You also avoid opportunity cost: our average time to first interview is 2 days, versus 8–12 weeks internally. That speed means earlier class approvals, faster bids, and less revenue lost while positions stay vacant.

How does smartbrain.io protect my IP when augmenting Naval Architecture engineers across time zones?

Intellectual property security begins with jurisdiction and tooling. Every engineer works under stringent NDAs governed by Delaware law; secure VDI environments isolate ship design files from personal devices, and all access is logged. We implement SSO, MFA, and least-privilege permissions on your chosen CAD/PLM stack. Our SOC-2 type II controls are audited annually, and we embrace GDPR as well as U.S. maritime export regulations. You get full visibility and the legal assurance that rights to any drawings, weight books, or hydrodynamic models transfer to you upon payment.

Can I align augmented Naval Architecture staff to my local time zone for meetings and reviews?

Yes. smartbrain.io maintains pools across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. During scoping we identify your core collaboration hours and present candidates able to overlap at least 4 hours daily. Many clients adopt a follow-the-sun rhythm—local leads handle reviews while remote Naval Architects push designs overnight, yielding near-24-hour progress without overtime costs.

What kind of contract terms and exit clauses are available?

Engagements start at one month and run on a simple weekly billing cycle. Scale headcount up or down with five business days’ notice; no penalties, no retainer. Should priorities shift, pause the contract and resume later with the same talent pool. All unused prepaid hours roll forward for 90 days, safeguarding your budget.

Describe your candidate-vetting process for Naval Architecture engineers.

We blend automated screening with human expertise. AI parses résumés and project portfolios for hull forms, CFD tools, and classification society experience. Candidates then tackle a timed technical assessment covering hydrostatics, stability, and FEA. The top 8 % advance to live interviews with a senior Naval Architect and a soft-skills assessor. References and background checks close the loop, ensuring only seaworthy professionals reach your shortlist.

What happens if an engineer is not the right fit after onboarding?

Our 14-day replacement guarantee activates immediately. Provide objective feedback and we will deliver a new, pre-vetted Naval Architect within 48 hours at no extra cost. Transition support and knowledge-transfer sessions minimize downtime, keeping project velocity intact.

How quickly can I start after signing the MSA?

Discovery call, MSA signature, candidate shortlist—those are the three gates. Most clients reach kickoff within five business days. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager synchronizes tooling access, sprint cadences, and compliance checklists so augmented Naval Architecture engineers contribute code, drawings, or calculations on Day 1.
