Aeroelastic Simulation Engineer

Essential Responsibilities

• Execute mechanical loads analyses, controller tunings and trade-offs (loads, stability, operation and performance) for new products, cost out, design updates, and fleet support as needed.
• Preparation of loads inputs, creation of the aeroelastic model, execute loads analysis and perform postprocessing is part of the design loop and therefore the responsibilities of the SVO engineer.
• Perform basic operability checks and frequency domain stability checks.
• Update loads envelopes
• Hand off model and controller to MLA team, to execute site specific assessments.
• Perform feasibility studies and develop tech charts.
• Deliver best-in-class loads mitigation and performance optimization technologies to lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)
• Identify and deliver on ideas for process simplification and tools automation
• Cultivate an atmosphere of team building and learning, driving new methods/ideas for loads and performance improvements
• Effectively communicate to external customers & regulators and cross-functionally to sales, product line, and other GE businesses

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
•   Practical exposure to the wind industry and aeroelastic loads simulations
• Knowledge of best practices and how SVO team and System Simulations integrates with other technical areas

Desired Characteristics

• Master degree from an accredited university in Mechanical engineering, civil engineering or aerospace engineering
• Proven ability to work in a cross-functional and global environment
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Working knowledge of aero-elastic simulation platforms: Bladed, HAWC2, Simpack, SDM
• Experience in wind turbine control technologies, operability & validation
• Expert knowledge on wind turbine component design criteria ​
