The Mechanical team in CorPower is looking for a design engineer to lead the design of the seabed pile-anchor system for our innovative wave energy converters.

The role will be working with the mechanical design team and closely alongside the Principal Engineer for the anchor system but will involve a large amount of interaction with our entire engineering team, supply chain as well as integration and testing, requiring good collaboration skills.

Responsibilities :

• Complete the concept development of the pile-anchor system, considering the interfaces to the ground (geotechnical domain), the Wave Energy Converter (mechanical, electrical, control), and installation operations.
• Produce engineering calculations and simulations required for the detailed design.
• Verify design details by Finite Element analysis.
• Produce the 3D models and then 2D manufacturing drawings for the pile-anchor system.
• Provide technical support during the procurement, production, commissioning, and installation phases (some travel is required)
• Produce technical documentation
• Manage your tasks to meet performance, schedule and budget targets
• Investigate new solutions to improve processes, performance, reliability or manufacturability
• Support procurement activities including component and supplier selection, manufacturing and factory acceptance testing of modules
• Support pilot installations in the field
