Aerodynamics Engineer (m / f / d)

YOUR TASKS :

• Develop and maintain in-house Python libraries and desktop applications to assist in steady and unsteady aerodynamic design and analysis of airfoils and blades.
• Coordinate the unsteady aerodynamics efforts in other areas within the company: loads, controller, …
• Define the methods and processes to assess the unsteady aerodynamic response of our airfoils and blades, and possibly other wind turbine parts subject to unsteady aerodynamic forces.
• Develop the process to calculate the unsteady aerodynamic response of airfoils using engineering methods, Beddoes-Leishman and others.
• Develop the process to define and assess unsteady aerodynamic models: dynamic stall, dynamic inflow, etc., used in our BEM and BEM-like aeroelastic stability and response software.
• Develop the process to calculate the unsteady aerodynamic response of airfoils, blades, and other wind turbine parts using CFD.
• Calculate unsteady aerodynamic responses using all the methods above.
• Assess the methods and processes above with existing or new wind tunnel data and campaigns.
• Participate in research projects and activities, both internal and external.

YOUR PROFILE :

• Aeronautical Engineer (M.Sc.) or similar.
• Team-work-oriented.
• Deep knowledge of aerodynamics and especially unsteady aerodynamics, applied to wind turbine blades and airfoils.
• Proven programming skills (we use Python; other languages are a plus).
• Self-organized and self-driven personality with the ability to handle complex problems.
• Ability to work in a multilingual and multicultural environment.
• Fluent in English; Spanish or German is a plus.
