Working Student (f/m/d) Offshore Loads Software Development
About the role
A Snapshot of your Day
Explore and improve the engineering tools in load calculation landscape for wind turbine support structures. Investigate shortcomings in documents shared by load engineers, shape an SDLC plan, and contribute to software upgrades that enhance quality and usability. As an off critical path assignment, you’ll learn, collaborate with (future) peers, apply academic skills in practice, and gain domain insights while making a meaningful contribution.
How You'll Make an Impact
Requirements gathering: Collect and analyze needs from load engineers to understand current issues in tools, templates, and the tools that use or generate them
Software development: Implement software enhancements based on gathered requirements to improve tools that generate engineering documents
Validation and testing: Validate tool updates using unit and integration testing to ensure quality, reliability, and compliance with agreed standards
Collaboration: Work within a Scrum team to design, test, and deploy improvements, engaging with stakeholders for feedback and iteration
Reporting and insights: Aggregate user experiences, identify key improvement areas across the documentation landscape, and recommend focus areas for future development
Impact measurement: Help define and track simple metrics to quantify user-experience enhancements resulting from your changes
What You Bring
Curiosity and a learning mindset, with motivation to understand how engineering documentation supports wind turbine support structure design
Foundational software engineering skills (e.g., requirements gathering, solution design, version control, and testing practices)
Basic programming experience sufficient to implement and validate tool improvements.
An eye for detail and quality in documents: clarity, consistency, revision management, and data reporting
Strong analytical and communication skills to translate user feedback into actionable requirements and clear recommendations
A collaborative approach and comfort working in a Scrum team
Fluency in English; additional documentation or technical writing skills are a plus
Nice to have: interest in user experience for engineering tools and familiarity with engineering document workflows
