You will play a pivotal role in improving our designs' safety, efficiency, and reliability while collaborating with a world-class team of engineers and innovators.

Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct time-domain coupled analysis using OrcaFlex to evaluate and enhance our floating wind turbine and mooring system designs.
- Drive improvements to methods and models for assessing dynamic floater performance and wave-structure interactions.
- Optimize mooring system design, ensuring station-keeping performance under varying environmental conditions.
- Implement and improve turbine models and their control systems for accurate coupled response predictions.
- Plan, execute, and interpret hydrodynamic model testing, validating and tuning numerical models.
- Develop and enhance in-house Python tools to support the coupled analysis.
- Collaborate closely with engineers across disciplines to ensure designs meet high standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency.
- Stay ahead of industry trends and best practices in floater, mooring, and turbine integration, applying this knowledge to our processes.
- Prepare detailed technical reports, visualizations, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications:
- A Master's or PhD degree in Marine Technology, Ocean Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
- 4-10 years of experience in advanced numerical analysis of floating offshore structures, with expertise in:
- Time-domain coupled analysis (OrcaFlex proficiency is required)
- Hydrodynamic radiation/diffraction analysis
- Mooring system design and analysis
- Structural analysis (beneficial)
- Strong knowledge of ocean environment modeling and environmental loading on floating structures.
- Excellent programming skills in Python for tool development and data processing.
- Experience with wind turbine control systems.
- Experience with hydrodynamic model testing, including planning, follow-up, and model validation.
- Familiarity with relevant DNV practices, rules, and regulations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent communication skills in Norwegian and English, with a demonstrated ability to convey complex technical information to diverse audiences.
- Passion for renewable energy and a commitment to developing sustainable solutions.
