Lead Design Engineer – Floating Wind Turbine

Lead Design Engineer – Floating Wind Turbine Systems

Location: Gothenburg, Sweden

Type: Project-based (18 months with potential extension)

Experience: 10+ years

Shape, Design and Lead the Future of Offshore Energy

At SeaTwirl, we’re developing the next generation of floating vertical-axis wind turbines – designed specifically for deep waters where traditional turbines can’t go. With a patented design, an integrated spar structure, and an unwavering focus on simplicity, robustness and maintainability, our mission is to reshape offshore wind technology.

Backed by EU-funded innovation projects, we are now scaling our internal capabilities to develop and manufacture key subsystems in-house. That means we're building more than turbines – we’re building a team that can take full technical ownership of what will become a crucial part of tomorrow’s energy infrastructure.

Right now, we’re looking for a Lead Design Engineer to take the lead in this transformation.



About SeaTwirl

SeaTwirl AB is a Swedish energy-tech company within offshore wind power with the purpose to enable floating offshore wind - wherever it is needed. SeaTwirl's unique floating vertical-axis wind turbine has a low center of gravity, a slim substructure, and a generator house accessible at the sea surface enabling small, cost efficient, and locally available vessels to maintain it. The company is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market since 2016. Read more at: https://seatwirl.com. Join Us to Shape the Future of Floating Wind

You’ll work at the heart of a multidisciplinary team and be responsible for designing complete systems and components across structural, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic domains. From generator housing to mooring – you’ll drive the technical development of key subsystems and ensure they work together as one.

What You’ll Do:

·   Work on mechanical and system design of complete floating wind turbine components – from early concept to production-ready solutions

·   Own the design process: 3D modeling, detailed drawings, BOMs, tolerance analysis, system integration, and design reviews

·   Design large steel structures for offshore applications, including floaters, towers, frames, and support systems

·   Design machined parts, with demand on tolerances, and corrosion-resistant materials suitable for marine environments where applicable.

·   Integrate and interface with electrical systems, hydraulics, drivetrains, and control systems

·   Ensure functional performance, safety, reliability, and manufacturability in offshore conditions

·   Collaborate closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners.

·
