Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a technically skilled and highly motivated Engineering Analyst to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll play a key part in developing cutting-edge analytics for wind turbine blade condition monitoring. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, data scientists, and software developers to transform complex performance data into scalable, real-world solutions that improve the safety and efficiency of renewable energy systems.

What you’ll do

• Develop and implement analytical models to monitor blade health, performance, and structural loads.
• Analyse large datasets from sensors, simulations, and turbine operational logs to uncover engineering insights.
• Translate core engineering principles into data-driven algorithms and analytical tools.
• Collaborate with product, analytics, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of models into our platform.
• Train and validate models using both experimental and real-world operational data.
• Contribute to technical documentation, system monitoring, and client-facing reports and visualisations.

What you’ll bring

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Strong background in structural dynamics, fatigue analysis, and materials behaviour.
• Proficiency in Python for engineering and data analysis tasks.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets, especially from sensor systems.
• Familiarity with signal processing, time-series analysis, or machine learning.
• Excellent communication skills — able to convey complex technical ideas clearly to a variety of stakeholders.

Nice to haves

• Experience with wind turbine systems, particularly blade design or monitoring.
• Understanding of SCADA systems, strain gauges, accelerometers, or similar structural health monitoring technologies.
• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools and interpreting simulation results.
• Exposure to cloud-based data platforms and software tools such as Git, Docker, or Databricks.
