System administrator linux Jobs in Elmshorn

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically advanced Iterative Looping Analysis Expert to lead the development and implementation of high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation frameworks for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) . This critical role focuses on enabling accurate, converged system-level performance predictions through the integration of aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, structural, control, and mooring system models in closed-loop, iterative co-simulation environments .

The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in numerical convergence strategies, coupled simulation methodologies, and the dynamic behavior of floating platforms. You will work at the forefront of floating wind technology, driving innovation in design optimization, load prediction, and system integration for next-generation offshore wind farms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain iterative co-simulation workflows that tightly couple aeroelastic (e.g., OpenFAST, Bladed, HAWC2), hydrodynamic (e.g., WAMIT, AQWA, HydroDyn), structural (FEA), and control system (Simulink) models to simulate floating wind turbine dynamics.
• Implement and optimize iterative looping strategies to achieve convergence in key parameters such as platform motion, mooring line tensions, tower / base loads, and controller response under turbulent wind and irregular wave conditions.
• Automate and parallelize simulation campaigns using Python or MATLAB to perform large-scale design space exploration, sensitivity studies, and IEC-compliant load cases.
• Lead the development of convergence criteria and stability monitoring tools within iterative solvers to ensure robust and reliable results.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (offshore structures, moorings, controls, aerodynamics) to integrate domain-specific models into unified, physics-consistent simulation environments.
• Validate iterative models against model test data (wave tank experiments) , field measurements from pilot projects, and industry benchmarks.
• Support design verification, certification (IEC 61400-3-1, IEC 61400-3-2, DNV-SE-0074, IECREOD-501) , and technology scaling by providing high-confidence load and response predictions.
• Contribute to R&D initiatives on novel floating platform concepts (e.g., spar, semi-submersible, TLP) and advanced control strategies (e.g., wind-wave misalignment mitigation, platform pitch damping).
