Digitalisation and AI Assurance Expert

Digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and software-intensive systems are reshaping the maritime industry. As these technologies become increasingly integrated into vessel operations, ensuring their safety, reliability, and performance is more critical than ever.

At DNV, our purpose is to safeguard life, property, and the environment. We are seeking a Digitalisation and AI Assurance Expert in Korea to help bridge emerging technologies with maritime applications and customer needs.

In this role, you will collaborate with leading Korean shipyards, R&D organizations, and DNV’s global experts to transform digitalisation challenges into practical projects, assurance methodologies, and innovative solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with Korean shipyards, R&D teams, and maritime customers to understand and support their digitalisation and digital transformation (DX) initiatives.
• Identify opportunities by translating customer requirements and emerging technologies into technical proposals and projects.
• Lead and deliver technical projects in collaboration with customers and DNV’s international experts.
• Develop assurance frameworks for advanced software-intensive and AI-enabled systems.
• Evaluate simulation-based verification activities, including MIL, SIL, and HIL testing, focusing on model validity, test coverage, traceability, and uncertainty management.
• Contribute to the development of DNV rules, recommended practices, assurance methodologies, and digital tools

Qualifications & Experience

• Master’s degree, preferably a PhD, in Naval Architecture, Cybernetics, Control Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Marine Technology, or a related discipline.
• Experience working with complex systems, control systems, embedded software, or AI-enabled technologies.
• Practical knowledge of simulation-based verification methodologies, including MIL (Model-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), and HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop).
• Solid understanding of systems engineering principles, verification and validation processes, and risk-based assurance approaches.
• Programming proficiency in Python or a similar programming language.
• Ability to collaborate with customers and research partners, translating technical challenges into structured projects and solutions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in both Korean and English.
• Experience in areas such as AI assurance, autonomous systems, digital twins, simulation credibility, MATLAB/Simulink, FMI/FMU, or technical standards development will be considered a strong advantage.

Who We Are Looking For

• A curious and proactive professional with a passion for exploring emerging technologies and sharing knowledge.
• Customer-focused, commercially aware, and capable of maintaining sound independent technical judgment.
• Skilled at communicating complex technical concepts clearly and building trusted relationships across diverse teams and organizations.
• Self-driven and results-oriented, with the ability to work effectively both independently and within an international team environment.
