At Vestas, the BoP and Service concept department is a hub for transforming inventive ideas into solid concepts that underpin the company’s robust position. We base our working environment on a high degree of freedom to explore new concepts and willingness to make concepts with higher technical risk, because failures are one of the sources for groundbreaking innovations.
We are a team of diverse people with different competencies, educational backgrounds, and personal traits - we are very open-minded and encourage a go do approach.

QUALIFICATIONS

You have a technical master (or higher) degree such as M.Sc. in Engineering. You have:

• At least 3-5 years of experience with wind turbine mechanical design
• Broad physical and technical understanding
• Experience with ANSYS workbench, APDL/Classic
• Proficient in Python and MATLAB programming languages
• Applicants with familiarity in mechanical systems related to wind turbines, including towers, foundations, or large-scale service concepts, are highly valued
• Programming skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar)
• Some experience with offshore structural design

The overall purpose of our team is to pave the way for the near future wind energy expansion worldwide. A key to success is reliable and robust mechanical design which can create certainty for our customers. Your responsibility will be to identify the most important areas to improve and deliver innovative solutions including mechanical design, structural calculations, and validation. The work area primarily involves concept development within special tower concepts, foundation concepts and (large) service tool innovation - Onshore and offshore.
