Key Responsibilities

- Define and drive the long-term technology, engineering and R&D; roadmap for current and next-generation wind turbine platforms (including 6-7 MW class and beyond)

- Lead end-to-end technology transfer from international partners and act as the principal technical interface with them

- Own the full product development lifecycle: concept, design, simulation, prototype, testing, certification and industrialisation

- Set engineering standards and technical governance: design reviews, approvals, configuration control and requirement traceability

- Oversee structural, mechanical, electrical and controls design of major turbine systems, including blades, drivetrain, generator, converter and towers

- Lead loads, aeroelastic and simulation work, and ensure validation against design load cases

- Drive type certification and IEC 61400 compliance, and manage coordination with certification bodies, labs and regulators (including RLMM requirements)

- Define the testing and validation strategy, and oversee prototype commissioning and field validation

- Lead the reliability programme: failure analysis, root cause analysis and corrective actions to improve availability and energy yield

- Drive design-to-cost, value engineering,



localisation and supplier development without compromising safety or reliability

- Ensure manufacturability and smooth industrialisation with manufacturing, quality and procurement teams

- Own PLM, engineering documentation and change management; protect IP and partner-confidential data

- Build, mentor and retain a high-performing engineering team, with succession planning for critical disciplines

- Manage the R&D; budget, project plans and stage gates, and report progress and risks to the Leadership

- Provide technical support to sales, projects and service teams for customers and commercial discussions

Desired Candidate Profile

- 15-20+ years in wind turbine engineering/R&D; (18-25 preferred), with a proven record in recent platform development or major technology upgrades

- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Mechatronics or a related discipline; postgraduate degree preferred

- Experience in technology transfer, certification and leading multidisciplinary teams

- Working knowledge of CAD, FEA, loads tools (Bladed/OpenFAST), MATLAB/Simulink and PLM platforms

- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally
