Emil Simanian
@emilsimanian
Experienced subsea survey technologist delivering precise multibeam/INS data processing and charting for offshore projects.
What I'm looking for
I’m a freelance Subsea Survey Technologist focused on survey systems data processing, remote processing, and charting for offshore projects. I support clients like Oceaneering (Chevron), Fugro, A-2-Sea, and Ocean Infinity-MMT with reliable deliverables from AUV/ROV and vessel surveys.
Across pipeline routes, export pipeline seabed surveys, offshore wind cable operations, and subsea inspections, I process multibeam and positioning data and run calibration/QC workflows such as PatchTest/Calibration. I also handle INS navigation processing, camera/video-assisted workflows, and generate workflow outputs used for subsea pipeline route inspections.
I’m comfortable working on short remote assignments and full project cycles—coordinating roles like Offline Coordinator and Offshore Coordinator, and performing deliverables QC and client support. My approach is disciplined, repeatable, and transparent, with strong attention to survey accuracy and processing consistency.
I bring a deep software toolkit spanning EIVA, CARIS, Fugro, QPS, Qinsy, and GIS platforms, plus scripting capability (Python, MatLab) for processing automation and workflow support. I’m certified through targeted training (Caris HIPS & SIPS, Starfix Proc, Sonarwiz, Oasis Montaj, EIVA course completion) and bring an engineering foundation with a BEng in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
