Gearbox Structural Engineer

Independent execution and development of simulations for structural components of wind power gearboxes(e.g.housings, planetary carriers, bearings, gears) Independent development of simulation approaches to improve the system understanding of the gearbox and the drive train Creation and validation of complex FE models to analyze strength, life, stiffness and vibration behavior under real operating conditions Collaboration with the interdisciplinary and global team from design, testing and production to derive improvements based on measurment data, Testing and production feedback Technical support for prototype tests to derive improvement of simulation models with the help of measurement data Documentation and presentation of the results as well as derivation of recommendations for action for product development

Degree in mechanical engineering, simulation technology or comparable, ideally with the focus on drive technology/gearboxes Several years of professional experience in the simulation and design of structural components preferably in the field of wind power gearboxes or comparable large gearboxes Very good knowledge of the use of modern simulation software (especially ANSYs Workbench) experience in FE modeling and life calculation of complex assemblies Experience with the consideration of manufacturing tolerances and their influence on component performance Analytical and structured approach to the design of structural components Very good written and spoken English skills
