Mechanical CAD & Prototyping Engineer

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
