At Nordex, rotor blade aerodynamic design is a key differentiator in our wind turbine technology. We are seeking an experienced engineer who can lead complex design projects and contribute to the continuous improvement of our aerodynamic capabilities. This role requires a deep understanding of aerodynamic principles and hands‑on experience in rotor blade development.
Your Tasks
* Independently plan, structure, and execute technically complex aerodynamic design projects, including the development of new rotor blades and the detailed analysis of legacy designs
* Applying advanced fluid dynamics principles, leveraging high‑fidelity simulation tools, and integrating multidisciplinary constraints to achieve optimal aerodynamic performance
* Development and continues improvement of prediction methods and industrialization of research approaches and methods
* Aerodynamic design, evaluation and optimization of wind turbine rotor blades
* Prepare and present technical results in engineering review meetings and communicate key findings, risks, and recommendations to senior management and other decision‑making stakeholders
* Automation of methods within the framework of in‑house design tools
* Validation of results and method tuning using measurement data
Your Profile
* Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering, or a closely related field; a PhD is a strong advantage, particularly with specialization in aerodynamics
* Minimum of 5‑8 years of professional experience in aerodynamic design or related engineering fields, ideally within the wind energy sector or similar industries involving complex fluid dynamics applications
* Strong organizational mindset with demonstrated ability to manage complex engineering projects from concept to execution
* Proficient in engineering programming, with hands‑on experience in languages such as Python, C/C++, and MATLAB, applied to simulation, data analysis, and tool development
* Fluency in English is required; proficiency in German or Spanish is considered a plus
* Self‑organized and self‑driven personality with the ability to handle complex problems
* Ability to work in a multi‑lingual, multi‑locational and multicultural team
