Senior Design Engineer

As a Senior Design Engineer at Siemens Gamesa, your day will involve working with cross-functional teams to brainstorm and develop innovative solutions for wind turbine maintenance. Your main focus will be on crafting craneless methodologies for major component replacements, ensuring the highest standards of efficiency and safety. You will dedicate time to crafting and validating CAD models, conducting FEA simulations, and communicating with suppliers. Field validation trials and root cause analysis of field failures will keep you engaged and challenged. By the end of the day, you will have contributed to the flawless performance of the wind turbines. - Craft and develop mechanical solutions for major component replacement in wind turbines using craneless methodologies. - Build detailed 3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings for custom tools, lifting structures, and retrofit kits. - Collaborate closely with service, operations, and field teams to define design requirements and constraints. - Conduct structural and mechanical calculations, including FEA simulations, to validate the robustness of your designs. - Collaborate with suppliers and fabricators to ensure manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of your solutions. - Lead prototype development and field validation trials to ensure the practical application of new designs. You should have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or a related field. Additionally, a minimum of 4 years of experience in wind turbine design, service engineering, or a related field is required. Proficiency in CAD software such as CATIA, SolidWorks, and Creo, as well as FEA tools like ANSYS and Abaqus is expected. In-depth knowledge of wind turbine components and maintenance techniques, hands-on experience with craneless maintenance techniques or lifting/mechanical support systems, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and dedication to safety and operational excellence are essential. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is a global leader in the wind power industry, known for its innovative technologies and sustainable energy solutions. The company operates in over 90 countries and is committed to supporting the transition to a low-carbon future. As part of an exceptionally hard-working and collaborative engineering team, you will contribute to advancing wind turbine technology and ensuring Siemens Gamesa remains at the forefront of the industry.
