Key Responsibilities
- Technical Contribution: Be responsible for designing fabricated wind turbines components and resolving technically complex mechanical engineering challenges.
- Project Execution: Execute New Product Introduction (NPI) programs, technology integration, and field issue resolution with a primary focus on safety, quality, and reliability.
- Product Safety and EHS: Contribute to the identification and mitigation of risks for safety-critical components, ensuring all designs meet tolerable risk levels. Support the resolution of SAFER cases by working cross-functionally to assist in the completion of action items.
- Systems Thinking & Integration: Apply a "Systems Thinking" mindset to help integrate components into the overall turbine design. Assess tradeoffs and communicate the implications of component changes on the wider machine.
- Compliance & Standards: Apply all relevant design practices, industry regulations, and standards to the design of mechanical components. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of engineering requirements affecting wind turbine systems.
- Tool & Process Improvement: Contribute to continuous improvement of design practices and engineering tools. Apply and support standardized analysis and calculation methodologies to ensure a rigorous engineering approach across projects.
- Risk Management: Actively participate in risk identification and mitigation activities, contributing to rigorous DFMEA practices to ensure that all potential failure modes are proactively identified, addressed, and validated against quality and reliability standards.
- Prototyping & Validation: Contribute to the conceptualization, prototyping, and physical testing of mechanical systems. Support the resolution of technical issues or defects identified during the validation and testing phases.
Critical Soft Skills
- Accountability: Takes personal ownership of the quality and integrity of individual design outputs, ensuring mechanical designs consistently meet Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC) expectations.
- Innovation: Identifies practical, well-reasoned improvements to existing designs or processes within a fast-paced engineering environment. Balances creative thinking with engineering rigor.
- Proactiveness & Energy: Demonstrate a positive, collaborative energy when working across teams of diverse expertise levels, contributing to a collaborative environment focused on continuous learning and technical excellence.
- Effective Communication: Ability to articulate complex technical problems in clear, factual, and simple terms across different levels of the organization.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Experience: Deep expertise in product design and development with relevant experience within the wind industry.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of mechanical design (static, fatigue, fracture), FEM (Finite Element Method), and manufacturing processes (Sheet metal, machining, welding).
- Software Tools: Strong knowledge of CAD (Unigraphics NX 3D-CAD preferred), CAE tools (Ansys, Hypermesh), and PLM tools.
- Travel: Ability and willingness to travel up to 20\% of the time.
- Linguistic: Advanced/fluent English; Spanish is a plus.
Desired Characteristics
- Proven track record of structured problem-solving (RCA) and Lean design principles.
- Strong interpersonal skills with experience working in international, multi-disciplinary project teams (Electrical, Structural, and Systems).
- Expertise in wind turbine structural components and internal mechanical systems.
Relocation Assistance Provided: No
