Structural engineer - Oceanbird

Oceanbird is looking for a

Structural engineer

AlfaWall Oceanbird AB is a 50/50 joint venture, owned by Alfa Laval and Wallenius but operated as an independent company.  Our strong mother companies provide valuable insights in shipping and industrial production and enables us to have a long-term perspective.

By harnessing wind – a constant and free energy source – we contribute to a more sustainable shipping industry. The wind helped us discover our planet – now it can help us preserve it!

Oceanbird is now moving into the realization phase of our wing sails. During the year to come, we will test our first full-scale prototypes and at the same time prepare for moving into a commercial phase with focus on getting the wing sail out on the market.

What will you do?

We are looking for an experienced structural engineer with a broad knowledge background. You should have an eye for details and at the same time an interest for the big picture, to help solve the complex challenges of getting wing sails onboard large ocean-going ships.

The key tasks will be:

• As a part of the Oceanbird design team perform structural and mechanical analysis, using FEM tools, to optimize our products for performance, weight, and efficiency.

• Work together with mechanical designers and other cross-functional stakeholders to ensure highest product quality and compliance with marine standards.

• Through simulations, identify and explain mechanics/physics behind different phenomena related to strength and durability of our products and components.

• Prepare design documentation in-line with relevant design standards to be certified by classification societies (e.g. DNV).

Who are you?

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• You have master’s degree in structural engineering or equivalent.

• Minimum 3-5 years of experience working in a similar role.

• Experienced with structural strength and fatigue calculations of large structures, machine systems and components, preferably in the marine environment.

• Experienced in performing a wide variety of finite element analysis types.

• Experienced with the FEM process for assemblies and components, preferably in ANSYS.

• Knowledge in metallic and composite structural analysis, including manufacturing methods.

• Experience working within the marine sector and DNV standards will be meriting.

• Strong team player, you thrive working together with other people and competences in reaching a common goal.

• An interest in sustainability and a willingness to contribute to a better future.

What do we offer?

A chance to be a part of something bigger and make a real change, and at the same time having a workplace that is characterized by a positive atmosphere.
 

Our core values are:

Pioneering Spirit - We dare to challenge the conventional and break new ground. As pioneers, we empower a revolution.

Natural forces - The power in the wind, in people, in ideas – the natural forces surrounding us all are waiting to be harvested.

Fun & Passion - It´s harder to fly alone – only together can we make a difference. Cooperation and shared passions build our strong team spirit.

Dedication - Dedicated to high-quality and robustness, to offer the right help on sustainability journeys, to be the best. Dedicated to making change.
