Requirements

What we're looking for

You're an early-career mechanical engineer who's curious about how things work at a system level, comfortable learning from experienced colleagues, and energized by solving real, physical engineering problems that matter.

Formal education and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is a plus, but we're most interested in your total experience and professional achievements
Some experience in product design and development within the wind industry or a comparable industry
Working knowledge of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools, ideally Unigraphics NX 3D-CAD
Working knowledge of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools, ideally Ansys, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to coordinate across engineering teams
Willingness and ability to travel up to 20% of the time

Nice to have

Familiarity with wind turbine structural components
Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI), New Technology Introduction (NTI) development, or structured problem-solving and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Experience collaborating in project teams across an international environment

The role

Wind turbines operate in some of the harshest environments on Earth, and the mechanical structures that hold them together have to perform flawlessly for decades. As a Mechanical Engineer on our Nacelle & Frames team, you'll take ownership of the structural components (composites, metallic structures, cranes, seals, and louvers) that keep turbines running safely and reliably in the field. You'll work alongside senior engineers who will guide your growth, while you bring fresh thinking to how these components are designed, tested, and improved.

This is a hands-on engineering role where your solutions directly shape turbines operating around the world and where solving a tough technical problem today means a more reliable, more efficient energy source tomorrow.

What you'll do

Design and develop mechanical structural components for wind turbines, including composites, metallic structures, cranes, seals, and louvers
Partner with System, Sub-System, and Component Engineers to integrate your designs into the overall turbine architecture, meeting turbine and interface requirements
Own the detailed engineering specifications and drawings used to source turbine components, ensuring they meet GE Vernova and industry quality standards
Conduct technical risk assessments and build risk mitigation plans, including Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), design verification, and validation test plans
Support the resolution of safety and functional issues on turbines already in the field
Apply a systems-thinking approach - understanding how a change to your component ripples across the broader turbine design
Bring standard design practices, tools, and lessons learned into your work to continuously sharpen how the team designs
