Development Engineer, Internals

The role

A wind turbine tower is more than its structure. Inside it, cables, ladders, platforms, lifts, ventilation, lightning protection and aviation lights all have to fit together, work and be certified. Most internals are developed by the turbine manufacturer, while Modvion develops the parts that are specific to a wooden tower, such as lightning protection, and dehumidification. We are now developing our next tower generation, and the internals need to be right from the start.

As Development Engineer you will own the internals system technically through all project phases, from requirements to verified solution in production and in the field. You will:

• Understand the system, its functions and its many interfaces with the tower and the turbine, and represent it in e.g. design reviews
• Break down and set the requirement specification for the system, including the requirements we put on the turbine manufacturer
• Manage the technical relationship with the turbine manufacturer and other suppliers: requirements, design input, reviews and follow up of deliveries
• Develop Modvion-specific internals, such as lightning protection, dehumidification and ventilation, in line with requirements and together with suppliers
• Manage the interfaces with other tower systems, manufacturing and installation
• Secure the technical documentation: specifications, interface descriptions, quality assurance and test reports

You will work closely with colleagues in Product Development, Manufacturing, Installation, Quality and Certification, and with our turbine partners.

Who you are

You have a degree in mechanical engineering or similar and at least 5 years of experience in product development. You know the mechanical design process from concept to released drawings and have basic CAD skills, preferably in Inventor. You are used to working with large suppliers and partners, setting clear requirements and following them up.

You are structured and plan and document your work as a matter of course. You deliver to plan but adapt quickly when plans change, and you enjoy working with skilled colleagues and suppliers.

You are fluent in English, written and spoken.

It is a merit if you have experience of:

• Wind turbine internals or interfaces to turbine manufacturers
• Mechanical packaging and CAD assembly management, e.g. space claims, interfaces and coordination
• Lightning protection, ventilation or climate control
• Requirements management
• Wind power or another regulated industry
