Job Description SummaryAs the Principal Engineer - Large Fabrications, you will provide technical leadership and engineering rigor for the design, analysis, and validation of large fabricated and composite structures used in wind turbine nacelles and related assemblies. This role is focused on sheet-metal based structural components and requires deep expertise in structural integrity, dynamics, fatigue, fracture mechanics, strength assessment, and design for manufacturability.
You will be responsible for driving robust engineering decisions through design reviews, drawing reviews, stack-up assessments, analytical calculations, and correlation of test and simulation results. You will also support review of certification activities, engage with external agencies as needed, and help strengthen technical capability across the organization, especially in dynamics.
This is a leadership role for an experienced engineer who can challenge assumptions, develop new methods, and partner with CTHs, design teams, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver safe, high-quality, and compliant products.Job Description
Lead the design, analysis, validation, and technical direction of large fabricated and composite structures for wind turbine nacelles.
Drive robust engineering solutions for sheet-metal and composite structures, ensuring safety, quality, manufacturability, and compliance.
Chair design reviews, perform detailed drawing and tolerance analyses, and ensure sound technical decisions throughout the product development process.
Perform structural calculations and simulations in ANSYS, covering strength, frequency-domain fatigue, fracture mechanics, and structural performance.
Apply industry standards (IIW, Eurocode, DNV) to support engineering decisions, compliance, and certification activities.
Bridge testing and simulation by correlating results, improving models, and developing validated analysis methods.
Partner with engineering leadership to strengthen structural engineering capabilities, identify technical gaps, and drive continuous improvement.
Lead technical supplier reviews, root cause investigations, and cross-functional problem solving with design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and certification teams.
Support product lifecycle management (PLM) activities and mentor engineers to grow technical expertise across the team.
