Maritime systems for ship stability, tank management, and fluid control
Hoppe Marine is a German shipbuilding-systems supplier founded in 1949, now operating as a multi-site group with engineering centers in Germany and regional hubs in Korea, China, and Singapore. The stack reveals a heavily industrial-automation-focused engineering org: CODESYS, TwinCAT, Simatic S7, and IEC 61131-3 dominate, paired with .NET and Go for integration layers, Docker/Podman for containerization, and MQTT/AMQP for vessel telemetry — a pattern typical of OEM-embedded systems rather than cloud-first software. Current hiring is engineering-led (7 of 15 open roles), concentrated in Germany, with active projects spanning product standardization, automation tooling, and expansion of a product called Secureload into European markets.
Hoppe Marine designs and manufactures onboard measurement and control systems for the global maritime industry. The product portfolio spans tank gauging, bunker management, roll stabilization (FLUME U-Tank), valve remote control, anti-heeling, and load compensation — all mission-critical systems installed on seagoing vessels. The company operates as a family-owned independent group with manufacturing and R&D in Hamburg and regional offices supporting shipbuilders and operators across Asia-Pacific and North America. The engineering team works primarily with industrial programmable-logic controllers (Simatic S7, TwinCAT) and embedded C/C++, supported by Microsoft enterprise software (Dynamics 365, Office) for operations. Revenue comes from both equipment sales and technical-commercial partnerships with shipyards.
Hoppe Marine uses Simatic S7, CODESYS, and TwinCAT for PLC logic, C/C++ for embedded code, MQTT/AMQP for vessel communication, and .NET/Go for integration layers. EPLAN Electric P8 handles electrical design.
Hoppe Marine is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Current hiring is concentrated in Germany, though the company operates regional offices in Korea, China, and Singapore.
