Tool Development Engineer for Offshore Wind Turbine Loads

Imagine a future where you play a key role in developing engineering tools, enabling the design and operation of offshore wind farms

Join us in this role where you’ll be leading the development and maintenance of our primary tools for offshore wind turbine load and response calculations. You’ll be a key resource in generating, maturing, and implementing new ideas and state-of-the art methodologies in our inhouse hydro-aero-servo elastic simulation tool environment, ensuring that the demands of the future in the business are met.

Welcome to Structures and Loads
You’ll be part of the WTG Modelling and Technology team where you, together with your colleagues, will support with expert knowledge on structural dynamics, loads analysis, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and control of wind turbines across our organisation. We develop and refine integrated system modelling tools for fixed and floating structures enabling feasibility and concept studies, detailed design, and follow-up in the operations phase. You’ll be part of a dynamic, friendly, and intellectually challenging work environment, where collaboration and knowledge sharing are fundamental for our success.

You’ll play an important role in:

• developing, implementing, and validating new methods and features in our inhouse hydro-aero-servo elastic tool (DEFlex) for response calculations incl. interface handling to other commercial codes
• proactively providing, collecting, and maintaining input to our road map for technical development of our tools incl. planning, budgeting, and alignment of tasks with our stakeholders
• facilitating day-to-day execution of tool development and coordinating our features backlog
• giving technical support and guidance to our load and structural specialists in performing aeroelastic modelling, setting up load calculations and defining design load cases.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have a relevant scientific degree, MSc or PhD, in Structural or Mechanical engineering or other related scientific discipline
• have prior experience, academic or professional, in tool development for response modelling of dynamic structures, finite element analysis and knowledge about sub-structuring methods with super elements, flexible multi body dynamics etc
• possess solid analytical skills for problem solving and the ability to work with highly complex systems in a structured and inclusive approach
• have an open and curious mind, an eagerness to understand challenging subjects and a willingness to constantly drive tasks forward and improve our way of working
• possess strong programming skills in Delphi, Matlab or similar and knowledge about Azure Dev Ops and GIT
• will benefit from having a general understanding of rotor aerodynamics, control and protection systems and main drivers for WTG component design.
