Mechanical Engineer (CAD Design & Protyping)- up to £45k
📍 Location: Full-time in office [Glasgow, United Kingdom]
Role Overview
You will design the core mechanical systems of the wind turbine, including structures, rotating assemblies, and modular interfaces. This is a practical engineering role focused on real hardware, manufacturability, and field performance.
About Regeno
Regeno is developing a modular and rapidly deployable wind turbine to lower the cost of clean energy, in the prototype stage, with its new patent-pending mechanism and system. We are looking for hands-on engineers to turn this idea into a reality.
Key Responsibilities
* CAD design of the tower, foundation and structural systems
* Design structural and mechanical components and assemblies
* Perform calculations and dynamic analysis for strength, stiffness, and fatigue
* Design rotating and load-bearing systems with realistic tolerances
* Analysis of dynamic and vibration systems on Ansys
* Develop components, designs and methodologies
* Support manufacturing, assembly, installation, and maintenance design
* Lead or support prototype builds and failure investigations
* Contribute to system-level design trade-offs
* Cost-benefit analysis of various components
Key Skills & Capabilities
* Practical mechanical design and sound engineering judgement
* Structural analysis, fatigue, and failure investigation
* Rotating machinery, bearings, and large mechanical assemblies
* CAD, drawings, and tolerance management
* Hands-on problem solving and testing
How You Work
* Designs for simplicity, robustness, and ease of maintenance
* Comfortable getting hands dirty during builds and tests
* Uses testing to validate and improve designs
* Balances performance with manufacturability and cost
Nice to Have
* Experience with wind, renewables, or energy systems
* Harsh-environment or offshore engineering
* Modular or field-serviceable system design
* Startup or early-stage product development experience
