Technical Lead

Roles and responsibilities: 

• Implement design or analysis tasks in accordance with Eurocode requirements. 

• Knowledge of bolted and Welded connections, Fatigue, Linear, Nonlinear structural, Modal, and Buckling analysis. 

• Exposure to certification requirements for Wind turbine components or similar with certification agencies like DNV, TUV Sud etc 

• Proficient FEA user with at least 10 years’ experience in ANSYS Workbench and Spaceclaim.  

• Develop finite element models from CAD models and perform FEA simulation 

• Analyze and interpret FEA results to support product design decisions 

• Identify opportunities for process improvement and implement solutions 

• Past experience in bolted joint and welded joint evaluations from hand calculations and from FEA software results is a must. Excel VBA coding is desired. 

• Knowledge about the structural design of large bolted structures, welded structures, and forged components. 

• Good understanding of HCF/LCF and fracture mechanics. 

• Task coordination and priorities, as well as task execution of key tasks. 

• Carrying out the structural assessments (linear and non-linear analysis in ANSYS workbench) for various components and suggesting design changed based on results. 

• Share the regular progress update with the team and relevant stakeholders. 

• Ensure execution and timely completion of assignments. 

• Preparing certification reports. 

• Training/guiding colleagues in automating their tasks, reviewing reports, and developing FEA methodologies for new components. 

• Must be a prolific code developer in Iron Python (and excel VBA) for automating pre and post processing/post processing tasks in Spaceclaim, Workbench and excel sheets. Able to independently identify, conceptualize and implement automation ideas as part of continuous improvements.  

• Must be capable of establishing methods/hand calculations/approaches to validate FEA modeling simplifications to accelerate early design feedback. 

Main tasks include establishing the design basis for NPD/new technology maturation for offshore/onshore tower internals. As a lead develops checklists and reviews finite element models (FE models) in the Ansys and SpaceClaim FEA softwares, as well as responsibility for technical verification certification reports in accordance with relevant standards.  

Tasks also include coordinating with external certifying agencies like DNV.  Represent the team in ANSYS users community and also with rest of SGRE structural/FEA calculation experts. As technology owner for VER team in SST, provides direction and approves the next set of targeted enhancements in calculation methods, efficiency/productivity tools and also coordinates component tests to verify or establish safety standards FEA calculations can rely on.
