About Ctrl :

Ctrl is a leader in drone-based inspection, sensing, and GIS-integrated intelligence for renewable energy and infrastructure. Our technology enables high-fidelity, real-time visibility into the condition of assets across wind, solar, and transmission networks. We’re hiring a Senior Turbine Reliability Engineer to help lead our visual inspection and data analysis efforts, with a particular focus on turbine blade condition, structural integrity, and geospatial asset monitoring.

About the Role :

This role focuses on the visual health and structural reliability of wind turbines. Using drone imagery, LiDAR, thermal data, and GIS-based tools, you’ll help identify defects, prioritize maintenance, and support clients in protecting their renewable infrastructure. You will play a critical part in developing Ctrl’s inspection workflows and geospatial condition models, helping shape how the industry sees, interprets, and acts on turbine integrity data.

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead the assessment of turbine blades, towers, nacelles, and foundations using drone-captured RGB, LiDAR, and thermal imagery
• Interpret damage and deterioration patterns—such as erosion, cracks, lightning strikes, and coating failures
• Drive the creation and standardization of GIS-based inspection layers, asset tags, and defect classifications
• Collaborate with Ctrl’s drone ops and GIS teams to ensure quality, consistency, and traceability of inspection data
• Generate actionable reports for asset managers, including annotated imagery, condition scoring, and repair recommendations
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Ctrl’s drone-based workflows, mapping outputs, and visual analytics platform
• Support warranty documentation, insurance claims, and long-term reliability tracking

Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, or Geomatics Engineering (or related field)
• 5+ years in wind turbine reliability, inspection, or asset management, with a strong focus on blades and visual diagnostics
• Proficient in interpreting visual and thermal inspection data—especially for blade and tower damage
• Experience with drone-captured data (RGB, LiDAR, photogrammetry) and post-processing workflows
• Familiarity with GIS tools such as ArcGIS or QGIS
• Excellent communication, reporting, and project coordination skills
• Willingness to travel to field sites (~25%)
• Experience with drone platforms and inspection tools (DJI, Skydio, Pix4D, DroneDeploy, etc.)
• Knowledge of turbine OEM platforms and inspection protocols (GE, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa)
• Background in digital twin modeling, visual AI defect detection, or SCADA-integrated inspection tools
• Experience guiding cross-functional teams across engineering, GIS, drone ops, and software

Why Ctrl?

• Work on real-world energy challenges using drones, AI, and spatial analytics
• Be part of a founder-led team with strong industry momentum and technical depth
• Enjoy remote flexibility, gear and travel stipends, and opportunities to lead innovation
• Help shape how wind reliability is measured, visualized, and acted on
