About the role
- Own the end-to-end design and development of large, complex and highly loaded composite structures, from requirements and concept through detailed design, analysis, prototyping, qualification and production release.
- Lead and guide composite structural analysis, sizing for stability, strength and fatigue with hand calculations and FEA codes and ensure that the analysis and test plans are aligned and that validated models and results underpin critical decisions.
- Select materials, layups and processes (e.g., filament winding & VARI) to meet performance, reliability, manufacturability and cost targets.
- Produce and review engineering calculations, design & test reports, certification documentation and presentation materials for internal, external and regulatory audiences.
- Drive design-for-manufacture/assembly/service; provide clear feedback loops from assembly/testing/operations into design to continuously improve product robustness.
- Investigate and introduce new materials, architectures, processes and tools where they can improve performance, reliability, sustainability and cost.
- Ensure compliance with applicable composite design standards and certification pathways (e.g., DNV, IEC), including first-of-a-kind product certification.
- Support supply chain activities: component/specimen definition, supplier selection, manufacturing readiness, factory acceptance testing of modules.
- Own program plans for composite scope—requirements, schedules, budgets, risks—and deliver on-time, to performance and cost targets.
- Mentor and develop engineers and technicians; establish methods, tools and standards that can be replicated by Operations & Maintenance teams worldwide.
- Ensure safety-first culture; uphold industry, safety and environmental standards in design and operations; champion design-for-safety.
- Represent CorPower with customers, certification bodies and stakeholders on composite technologies, methods and decisions.
- Leadership of a cross-disciplinary product team, fostering a collaborative and inclusive product team environment, encouraging open communication, teamwork, and a “target-achievement-oriented” work culture.
Requirements
- BSc/MSc/PhD in Mechanical/Structural Engineering or related discipline; 10+ years of relevant experience in composite design and analysis
- Proven capacity of designing innovative high performing composite products of similar nature
- Deep proficiency in linear and non-linear analysis of composite structures using FEA tools (e.g. ANSYS, Abaqus, Altair Optistruct, Marc) over the full pipeline, from pre-processing to post-processing and critical analysis of results
- Deep understanding of composite materials and their characterisation
- Strong CAD/PLM literacy (e.g., Creo, Windchill) and data/documentation practices.
- Practical experience with composite manufacturing processes (e.g., filament winding & VARI) and associated quality controls.
- Experience with certification of first-of-a-kind products with bodies such as DNV; familiarity with relevant IEC/industry standards.
- Proven track record leading programs from specification and design through assembly, testing and deployment
- Excellent communication skills; comfortable presenting solutions internally and externally; highly proficient in English.
