Mekanisk Designingeniør

Working at CorPower Ocean you will be part of a world-class team, determined to make a big impact. We are on a mission to bring reliable and competitive wave energy to the world. We offer a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, combined with great personal responsibility. CorPower Ocean is a global leader in wave energy, with a technology that has shown game-changing performance. Your work will contribute to the global transition to renewable energy by unlocking one of the largest untapped sources of clean energy on earth.

The Role

The Mechanical team at CorPower Ocean is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer experienced in the design of large steel structures and industrial equipment to take a key role in the development and optimisation of our innovative wave energy converters.

The role involves designing large, welded steel structures and mechanical systems for offshore environments, driving development from concept through testing and release for production.

You will work closely with the mechanical design team but will also interact extensively with the wider organisation, including supply chain, manufacturing, testing and field installation teams, requiring strong collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Design of large mechanical structures and welded steel assemblies (from concept to release-for-production)
• Present to cross-disciplinary stakeholders during design reviews
• Perform structural analysis (hand calculations and FEA)
• Produce technical documentation for internal use and for third-party verification and certification
• Perform failure mode, effects and criticality analysis for modules and systems
• Manage your systems and components to meet performance, schedule and budget targets
• Investigate improvements to performance, reliability and manufacturability
• Interface with requirement, supply chain, manufacturing and field-testing teams
• Support assembly, testing and pilot installations in the field
• Support and mentor junior engineers when needed

Skills and Experience

You have 5+ years of experience designing large mechanical systems or welded steel structures, ideally in industries such as offshore, marine, renewable energy, heavy machinery, or industrial equipment.

You have experience designing fabricated steel structures or heavy mechanical assemblies exposed to dynamic loads, fatigue, or demanding operating environments.

You have experience with structural analysis of large fabricated or welded steel systems, exposed to dynamic loads, fatigue, or demanding operating environments.

Experience contributing or leading end-to-end product development cycles from design, build, test to production in multiple projects.

You have a broad interest in mechanical systems. Experience with mooring systems, gearboxes, hydraulics, structural optimisation, pressure vessels, fabrication methods, sensors or power generation equipment is considered an advantage.

Experience with Creo CAD, Windchill PLM and ANSYS is beneficial; equivalent tools are also relevant.

You may have a BSc or MSc degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline, but practical experience and engineering mindset are most important.

You are proficient in English, both spoken and written.

As a person, you:

• are striving for excellence, put quality into everything you do
• are self-motivated and constantly seek the most efficient ways to work
• search for simple and sustainable solutions to difficult problems
• love to learn new things, and take pride in constantly developing your skills
• are persistent, knowing it takes stamina to reach pioneering goals
• see your tasks through to completion
• are comfortable in presenting your solutions internally and externally
• are data driven and strive to always back your points with solid analysis

CorPower Ocean has a diverse team with many nationalities and backgrounds, all working towards the same goal: To Power the Planet with clean energy from ocean waves.
