Senior CAE Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 1, 2025.
Wind power is growing, in every sense of the word. Modvion designs and develops a patented modular wind turbine tower made of laminated wood, engineered to reach higher altitudes and unlock wind resources previously out of reach. Laminated wood, nature's carbon fibre, enables efficient logistics for tall towers while substantially cutting the carbon footprint of wind power.
We are moving from proven, single-tower projects into a phase of scaling delivery, and every project we take on right now is a critical step in proving that model to the market.
The role
In this role you will become a member of our product development team. You will work with strength analysis of our wooden wind turbine towers to ensure that they withstand all the extreme loads that they are exposed to during their service life.
The towers are designed based on load cases from the wind turbine OEMs. We develop tools and methods to apply the loads on our structure and its sub-components. Since we push the limits for how wood is used in mechanical engineering, we need to develop novel methods for the structural analysis which are outside the standard borders of design guidelines.
The product development team comprise expertise in engineering design, method development, mechanical testing, and CAE analysis. We often work in cross-functional teams with our other tech departments focusing on manufacturing and installation. Our culture is characterized by a high level of self-management, strong team engagement to reach a common goal, and genuine care for each other.
Who you are
For this role we are looking for a dedicated and methodical strength analyst with experience. You have worked on a variety of products that are exposed to complex loads and are now eager to apply that experience on our wooden wind turbine towers.
You are looking for a broad position where you will work closely with your colleagues to find the best solution. As our design is driven mainly by strength properties, the team’s work has a great influence on design decisions. You have started to explore how AI can contribute to FE analysis and accelerate the path from data to insight.
