The FE Simulation team is part of the Blades Technology Development department. We are tasked with providing specialist analysis support during the development of new wind turbine blade designs and technologies. The team are also responsible for supporting the use of finite element techniques within other Blades departments, ensuring that any such analyses are performed to best practice guidelines. The collation, development and communication of analysis methods are also key functions of the team.



Responsibilities:



The successful candidate will be involved in the generation of various finite element models relating to the structural design of wind turbine blades. They will be expected to perform analyses mainly on composite structures and some experience in this field is desirable



The ideal candidate would thrive in a dedicated role, focussed on the ongoing development and deployment of best practice analysis techniques. Our client provides excellent career development paths for individuals wishing to pursue technical excellence and the opportunity exists for the successful candidate to become a recognised authority in terms of analysis know-how. The candidate would also be expected to gain a wider appreciation of the engineering surrounding the problems that are to be solved.



Qualifications and Experience:



You have Mechanical, Aeronautical or Civil Engineering Degree or PhD, preferably with several years of industrial experience, specialised in structural design and analysis. Solid understanding of FEA techniques is essential, with good working knowledge of ANSYS being an advantage.



You are expected to have an understanding of composites, preferably with some knowledge of analysis techniques and design methods relevant to this branch of engineering. Previous exposure to the use of object oriented programming (python) for engineering tools, 6-Sigma design and composite design optimisation would also be highly valued for this role.



You have a positive attitude, good sense of order, like to work in a large international organisation. You must be able to communicate effectively in a global, multi-cultural, team based environment
