• Mechanical and structural design of Oceanbird wing sail technology according to technical requirements as defined by customer needs, class rules and Oceanbird standards.
• Develop drawings and specifications, including 3D models/drawings, BOM, and instructions for manufacturing.
• Technical interface towards suppliers and manufacturers.

Who are you?

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• A creative and problem-solving mindset is paramount!
• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent.
• At least 5 years working experience from mechanical engineering of large-scale industry structures or systems.
• Experience in working cross-functionally together with automation, electrical and other mechanical/structural engineers in solving problems and ensuring system performance.
• Field experience, you have already developed and been a part of taking prototypes or products from the drawing board to commissioning.
• Experience in Creo.
• Working experience within the marine industry is beneficial.
• An interest in sustainability and a willingness to contribute to a better future.

What do we offer?
