Job Description

Are you excited by numerical models for wind turbine response? And would you like to work with leading experts in the field of offshore wind turbine aerodynamics and wind turbine response? DTU Wind is internationally recognized for its aero-elastic software and methodologies for both wind turbines and farms. We are expanding and improving our toolchain and are seeking a Development Engineer to our projects with concept development studies. This includes modelling of vertical axis turbines, new generator types and coupling to P2X systems. In close collaboration with scientific and technical colleagues, you will have a direct impact on developing new generation of tools with a strengthened focus on the integration with the future energy systems.

The position is in the Response, Aero-elasticity, Control and Hydrodynamics  (REC) section located at our Risø campus. We focus on modelling and analysis of loads and dynamics, aeroelastic stability and control of both land-based and floating wind turbines. Our research results are integrated into our software tools. We have an increasing focus on validation against measurements. This is a highly multi-disciplinary area involving modelling of the non-stationary inflow field, aerodynamics, structural dynamics, structural stability and control.

The job
This position’s primary focus is to work closely with researchers and development engineers to develop and apply our models to new concepts. Examples are vertical axis turbines, novel designs of floating turbines, detailed modelling of drive train and gear box and dynamic cables. Specific work areas include

• Development, testing and support of DTU Wind Energy’s core aeroelastic software HAWC2 / HAWCStab2 
• Load and performance studies 
• Validation against measurements
• Coupling of HAWC2 to other models for flow and structural analysis

Collaboration with other sections in the department and external partners in international projects is part of the daily routine. 

Our expectations of you
We are seeking candidates that have the following required competences:

• Background in Mechanical Engineering, Wind Energy or a physics based application field
• Good knowledge of the Fortran syntax,  Python syntax and the scientific Python stack 
• Good knowledge in aero-elasticity with experience from academia or industry

In addition, we expect you to have experience in several of the following technologies and scientific fields:

• Version control of software (e.g., Git)
• Structural mechanics and multibody dynamics simulations

Finally, we expect that you share our vision to strive for Wind Energy and its successful application in society are comfortably able to 

• Work independently and to efficiently deliver results on time
• Work as part of a team in a multi-disciplinary environment 
• Take the initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines 
• Communicate in English, both verbal and written

What we offer in return
We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international atmosphere with the focus on research, teaching, innovation and scientific advice for the benefit of the surrounding community. We place emphasis on a high level of professionalism among our staff, so skills development is an integral part of our organization. We offer a great flexibility in the position. In the area of technical and natural sciences, DTU is one of the leading research and education institutions in Europe.

Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. 

The workplace is DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, Denmark.
