- Min 3 years of experience in Wind turbine design preferable

Key Responsibilities

Roles and responsibilities:

- Implement design or analysis tasks in accordance with Eurocode requirements.

- Knowledge of bolted and Welded connections, Fatigue, Linear, Nonlinear structural, Modal, and Buckling analysis.

- Exposure to certification requirements for Wind turbine components or similar with certification agencies like DNV, TUV Sud etc

- Proficient FEA user with at least 10 years’ experience in ANSYS Workbench and Spaceclaim .

- Develop finite element models from CAD models and perform FEA simulation

- Analyze and interpret FEA results to support product design decisions

- Identify opportunities for process improvement and implement solutions

- Past experience in bolted joint and welded joint evaluations from hand calculations and from FEA software results is a must . Excel VBA coding is desired.

- Knowledge about the structural design of l arge bolted structures , welded structures, and forged components.

- Positive understanding of HCF/LCF and fracture mechanics.

- Task coordination and priorities, as well as task execution of key tasks.

- Carrying out the structural assessments (linear and non-linear analysis in ANSYS workbench) for various components and suggesting design changed based on results.

- Share the regular progress update with the team and relevant stakeholders.

- Ensure execution and timely completion of assignments.

- Preparing certification reports.

- Training/guiding colleagues in automating their tasks, reviewing reports,



and developing FEA methodologies for new components .
