Floating Wind Mooring Systems Engineer
Responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing mooring systems for floating wind turbines. They develop innovative mooring solutions to ensure platform stability, structural integrity, and long-term durability in dynamic marine environments. This role involves conducting hydrodynamic simulations, load assessments, and fatigue analyses to improve mooring configurations and anchoring technologies. Their expertise is critical in advancing floating wind technology, reducing costs, and enhancing the feasibility of deep-water wind energy projects.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Offshore Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of mooring system design, hydrodynamics, and structural analysis.
• Proficiency in simulation software such as OrcaFlex, FAST, OpenFAST, or ANSYS AQWA for mooring and floating platform modeling.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience in designing mooring configurations, including catenary, taut-leg, and hybrid mooring systems.
• Familiarity with offshore standards and guidelines (e.g., DNV-ST-0119, API RP 2SK, IEC 61400-3-2).
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO Basic Safety Training) may be required for field testing.
• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary R&D teams to develop next-generation floating wind mooring solutions.
