Flexibility to working hours and willing travel locally and internationally may be required occasionally.

**What we are looking for.**:

- **PhD degree** in hydrodynamics, structural analysis, or a related field. Engineering background, preferably with a specialization in hydrodynamics, structural analysis, or a related field.
- Three years of hands-on experience in developing numerical models, specifically in hydrodynamics, offshore structural analysis, or a related domain.
- Solid background in engineering with a preference for specialization in hydrodynamics, offshore structural analysis, or related fields.
- In-depth understanding of hydrodynamic principles and a comprehensive grasp of challenges associated with load calculation on offshore structures.
- Strong programming skills, particularly in languages suited for modeling and analysis (Python, MATLAB, etc.).
- Ability to develop and implement model reduction methods and learning techniques.
- Capability to work both independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication skills.

Desirable:

- Initial experience in the offshore wind sector
- Familiarity with machine learning methods and metamodel development.
- Demonstrated experience in using simulation tools such as OrcaFlex.
- Demonstrated experience in using structural FEA Analysis software such as ANSYS.
- Collaborative development of numerical tools
- Professional French.

**What is in it for you?**:
**Join us and grow with us.**
