\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a few years of quiet preparation that resulted in a technical platform with many benefits for liveaboard cruising<\/a>, we are now excited to scale up the design side of things: we are hiring 2-3 senior designers \/ architects \/ ergonomists in Buenos Aires. You’d join the <\/span>french\/german\/argentine R&D team<\/a> to help nurse the ideas from the current conceptual stage towards a buildable, livable and lovable product.\u00a0 We’re in for a rather feminine take on life aboard <\/span>for a new generation of users ( 1 )<\/a>:\u00a0working couples or young families, typically from EU\/US\/CA\/AUS\/SA\/NZ\u00a0<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

PROJECT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Context<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Our boat is a <\/span>home<\/b>, a remote office and a <\/span>space for education ( 2 )<\/a>. It is designed to give a lot of autonomy from urban grids, but also to support the interaction with land life and the ties with your loved ones and colleagues around the globe while you’re out there anchored in some quiet bay or river. The boat will usually be <\/span>owner-operated<\/b> and <\/span>owner-maintained<\/b>. Most movement will be coastal cruising within a few hours: Island hopping, local exploration or just a groceries trip every couple weeks, preferably without too much disruption of daily life. The little ship is <\/span>also <\/span><\/i>supposed to get you to faraway places safely and efficiently from time to time, think seasonal migrations. Note that such a usage has little to do with transport, vacations, sports, \u00ab\u00a0yachting\u00a0\u00bb, showing off in the sunshine or luxury. Our work ahead allows some <\/span>significant enhancements <\/b>to the technical platform, but, there again, we won’t be after the next short-lived gadget for the rich : the performance is there <\/span>to support a very involved lifestyle<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clients<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

While the vast majority of boats today are<\/span> still designed for ageing patriarchs or young dynamic sports dudes, the last decade has seen some progress towards gender neutrality on certain segments( 3 )<\/a>, and signs of a timid corporate sociology shift in the rather conservative leisure marine field. Contrary to the established players’ incremental improvements, our proposition is a clean-sheet design with a single try funded, and we better be bold if we want to see something built. We’ll have zero marketing problems (and a good laugh) if the result scares the boomers and yachties, and the best niche usage bet for our technical platform is young life aboard. We focus squarely on <\/span>women in their 30s-40s : in the upcoming generation of liveaboard cruisers, they are the most involved proponents of such a drastic change of lifestyle<\/strong>. Cruising women remain rare, if very committed: forums and talk around the entourage show a thorough research and years of preparation, with an acute understanding of the logistics, communication and emotional load they are going to take. Meanwhile, due to childhood imaginary and looser social expectations, men with dreams to sail the world are always plenty – and nobody wants to leave alone. Due to massive shifts in employer demands and university demographics, many of the ladies will also bring in a major chunk of the necessary cash after a successful early career – and carry on under sails. Women remain the most demanding users for living environments : rare exceptions aside, they have been educated to care more. Seeing so many shape their homes and lifestyle with skill and pride, we’d think there is a wonderful base for enjoyable prosumer relations. And trying to fix a few long-neglected design flaws of liveaboard boats through this lens will obviously benefit everybody aboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

A highly constrained design space<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Ambitious usage, self-reliance, constant motion of the living environment, weight sensitivity, small form factor…\u00a0 We’ll face a <\/span>tight constraint set<\/b>, which leads to a daunting functional density. Like most homes, these boats will also be long-lived assets that <\/span>get transformed by their users over the decades ( 4 )<\/a> – failing to account for sufficient flexibility and resilience would result in an absurd environmental footprint, all the way up to premature scrapping of the whole boat. Regulation is fairly light in the field, but the specific challenges of the marine environment are manifold and treacherous, and the purchase of a whole new lifestyle is certainly never taken lightly. Our propositions being a <\/span>significant departure from the usual practice<\/b>, we’ll need to triple-check a lot of things and explain our work very well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying lean<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

We’ll also want to match the cost of our user’s urban flats, becoming a more <\/span>credible alternative<\/b> than the current offerings. The latter implies making the product and manufacturing efficient, but also keeping the company lean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complexity challenge<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Over all, the <\/span>challenges<\/b> of such complex developments may come closer to what you could experience within healthcare, transportation, aeronautics, industry or high-tech than what could typically be expected in the field of recreational boat design or most land-based residential architecture. There will be an <\/span>entrepreneurial vibe<\/b> to it, and it is certainly beyond what a designer can achieve alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

POSITION DETAILS\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Workstyle<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bottom-up agile development<\/b> in a <\/span>learning team<\/b> : Complex challenges are mostly tackled in details that can’t be planned ahead. Improvement is cyclical rather than linear, and wrapping a cycle isn’t just about cramming in the new functionalities we thought about last week – it means finding a new reasonable coherence. On a more individual level these are transformational lead roles in which you can only succeed collectively, through careful integration.<\/span><\/p>\n
