Marine systems integrator for naval, cruise, and offshore vessels
Trident Maritime Systems operates a distributed engineering and manufacturing footprint across 19 countries, employing over 2,000 specialists in marine interiors, propulsion systems, and shipboard automation. The hiring mix—dominated by manufacturing and engineering roles at mid and senior levels—reflects active execution on modular shipbuilding programs and structural fit-up work, while pain points around material shortages and navsea compliance signal the operational constraints of defense and commercial shipyard work.
Trident Maritime Systems is a marine systems integrator serving shipbuilders and vessel owners in military, cruise, offshore, and commercial markets. The company designs and installs engineered solutions across marine interiors, cryogenic insulation, distributed ship systems, propulsion (including hybrid/electric), automation and control, and environmental compliance systems like scrubbers and ballast-water treatment. With over 2,000 personnel across 19 countries, Trident operates primarily from Arlington, VA, and executes modular construction programs, structural assembly, and system integration at multiple shipyards globally. Current work includes new construction, overhaul efforts, and module fabrication aligned with naval and commercial fleet standards.
Core tools include AutoCAD and SolidWorks for design, Syteline and Oracle ERP for planning, PLC/SCADA/HMI for automation and control, and welding systems (GMAW, GTAW). Industrial protocols include Ethernet/IP, Modbus, PROFINET, and CAN.
Active projects focus on modular shipbuilding execution, vessel power distribution design, structural fit-up on naval modules, module fabrication, and new construction and overhaul efforts. Initiatives also target lean manufacturing and waste reduction.
