Design - DESIGN002 - Functional and Systems Design of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (USV) for Maritime Surveillance and Monitoring

Context and Objective:

• Design an autonomous surface vehicle (USV) using a functional and systems-design approach, focusing on overall architecture, integration of technological equipment, and adaptation to marine environmental constraints for surveillance/monitoring missions.

Main Tasks:

• Benchmark existing autonomous surface vehicles.
• Study functional requirements and constraints of the marine environment.
• Define overall architecture and internal volume layout.
• Design integration of sensors, cameras, antennas, and electronic systems.
• Explore modular solutions to facilitate upgrades and maintenance.
• Study equipment protection and integration solutions for marine conditions.
• Develop the external form consistent with the functional architecture.
• Create a complete 3D model of the selected concept.

Expected Deliverables:

• Documentary research and benchmarking; functional architecture diagrams and component layout; sketches and conceptual proposals; complete 3D model of the USV; exploded views and equipment-integration presentation; realistic renders and final-concept presentation.

Required Skills and Tools:

• Industrial/functional design; systems design and product architecture; functional integration of components; basic knowledge of materials/environmental constraints; 3D modeling and technical representation.
• Tools: 3ds Max, KeyShot, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator; basic CAD/technical drawing.

Candidate profile: Master’s level (Bac+5) in Product Design.

Application: Send your CV and cover letter by email and include the subject reference in the email subject. Any other application method will not be considered.
