Lead Design Engineer – Floating Wind Turbine Systems
Workplace: Göteborg, Sverige
Expires: August 31, 2025
Lead the design and development of floating vertical-axis wind turbine systems, focusing on mechanical and system design of offshore components from concept to production. Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate structural, electrical, and hydraulic subsystems for next-generation offshore energy solutions.
Main requirements:
- Approximately 10 years of experience in mechanical or product design, preferably within offshore, energy, marine, or related industries
- Master's degree in mechanical engineering, power electric engineering, naval architecture, construction or similar relevant field
- Proficiency in English, both spoken and written
- Ability to work independently and make decisions in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with yard or manufacturing processes
- Working experience in relevant field related to offshore or energy sectors
Responsibilities:
- Lead mechanical and system design of complete floating wind turbine components from early concepts to production-ready designs
- Own the design process including 3D modeling, detailed drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), tolerance analysis, system integration, and design reviews
- Design large steel offshore structures such as floaters, towers, frames, and support systems
- Design machined parts with tolerance and corrosion resistance for marine environments
- Integrate and interface electrical systems, hydraulics, drivetrains, and control systems
- Ensure functional performance, safety, reliability, and manufacturability in offshore conditions
- Collaborate closely with suppliers, manufacturing partners, and multidisciplinary team members (structural engineers, electrical engineers, hydrodynamic analysts etc.)
- Take a systems engineering approach to ensure all subsystems fit and function together
- Focus on subsystems like drive train, brake system, cooling system, joining interface (bolts/welds), and manufacturing selection
Required hard skills:
- Mechanical and product design experience for offshore or energy sectors
- 3D CAD proficiency (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, or equivalent)
- Knowledge of industry standards such as ABS, DNV, IEC, ISO, ASTM
- Experience designing large welded steel structures
- Expertise in machining and tolerance-critical parts
- Understanding of mechanical standards, tolerancing (GD&T), and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles
- Experience working with technical specifications, test plans, and production ramp-up
Recommended hard skills:
- Electrical and hydraulic system integration
- Cross-functional system engineering experience
- Experience working with offshore environments and conditions
Soft skills:
- Proactive and highly experienced engineer
- Ability to work independently and make design decisions
- Strong collaboration and communication skills across disciplines
- Ability to manage complex system interfaces and trade-offs
- Motivated by innovation and building first-of-a-kind technology
