Develop innovative solutions in wind turbine design to accelerate the energy transition.
About the Role
We are seeking a skilled Lead Wind Turbine Design Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our Loads and Control department, you will play a crucial role in designing the next generation of offshore wind turbines.
Your primary responsibility will be to lead product-level design studies within loads, including blade design iterations, tower iterations, and wind turbine aeroelastic stability.
You will also support the certification process of wind turbines by performing load test campaigns in prototype wind turbines.
In addition, you will conduct feasibility studies of new wind turbine products aiming to optimize power, loads, and noise performance through innovative use of sensors, controllers, and actuators.
Deliverables will include design loads, power curves, and noise assessments as well as development and validation of wind turbine aeroelastic models.
You will guide the technical aspects of loads development for a specific product from feasibility state to full validation and certification stage.
Risk management activities such as failure mode and effect analysis will also be part of your responsibilities.
Requirements
* Master's or PhD in Mechanical/Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering or similar.
* 5-8 years of work experience within the wind turbine design industry or at MSc./PhD level.
* Previous industrial/academic (at MSc or PhD level) experience in wind turbine controls.
* Knowledge of wind turbine control strategies.
* Experience in programming, at least one of the following: Matlab, Simulink, Python.
What We Offer
This is an exciting opportunity to develop new responsibilities and competencies in the wind turbine industry. You will have the chance to work on cutting-edge projects, collaborate with a diverse team, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions.
In return, we offer a competitive compensation package, opportunities for professional growth, and a dynamic work environment that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We believe that a diverse workforce enhances our ability to think differently and solve complex challenges. Your unique perspective and skills will help us power the solution for a sustainable, green energy future.
