Senior Engineer (m/w/d) Load Calculation - Wind Turbine

Requisition ID: 10790

Location: Hamburg, DE, 22419

Department: Engineering

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Load Calculation Engineer to join our international Load & Site Assessment team. In this role, you will contribute expert knowledge to site-specific load calculations, support the development of new wind turbines, and drive innovation in methodologies and tools for fast load approximation and structural suitability simulations.

Your Tasks:

Support the development of new fast load approximation methodologies in line with strategic business objectives.

Lead the continuous development and refinement of load calculation methodologies and toolchains for wind resource and site-specific suitability assessments.

Identify and implement innovative, cost-effective technical solutions within short timeframes.

Perform advanced load simulations for class-based and site-specific conditions, including conceptual studies for new design approaches.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize controller functions and support component design.

Plan and execute load assessment tasks for research, sales, and service-related projects using advanced aero-elastic simulation tools.

Provide expert technical input to development projects by integrating real site-specific load insights.

Prepare clear technical reports and documentation summarizing analyses and results.

Support certification processes and claims investigations with deep technical understanding.

Contribute to project execution in line with Nordex project management standards.

Lead or support root cause analyses related to methodology performance, toolchain behavior, or field-related issues.

Your Profile:

PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Renewable Energy, or a similar field with a focus on dynamics, simulation, or structural mechanics (preferred).

Strong expertise in industry standards, especially IEC 61400-1.

Extensive experience with advanced aerodynamic simulation tools (e.g., Bladed, Alaska, HawcStab, Flex5).

Solid background in dynamic simulations of complex mechanical systems and fatigue analysis methodologies.

Experience in methodology development and interpreting complex physical phenomena.

Additional skills in software development or tool customization are considered an asset.

Communicative, empathetic, and team-oriented mindset; able to create a collaborative and motivating work atmosphere.

Flexible, dynamic working style with a creative and analytical approach to solving technical challenges.

Comfortable collaborating with international stakeholders across engineering hubs in Spain, Germany, and India.

Ability to foster positive relationships with external partners such as certification bodies, research institutes, and consultants.

Fluent in English; Spanish or German language skills are a plus.

At least 5 years of experience in a similar role.
