Lead Aero-Mechanical Design Engineer

Love CAD designing new concepts and building making things? This role is for you !

Lead Engineering Design – £38k-50k

Location: Full-time in Office , Glasgow,

Scotland

The Role

You will lead the design team and development of a new modular wind turbine, taking it from early concepts through detailed design, build, and physical testing.

You will work across the full engineering lifecycle — modelling, component design, virtual testing like CFD/ FEA , assembly, integration, testing, and iteration . The role will needs real engineering decisions under real-world constraints.

About Regeno

Regeno is startup , developing a rapidly deployable, modular wind turbine that is simple to install and easy to maintain. The system is designed for practical use and scalable production, targeting a global energy market.

What You’ll Do

Lead the engineering

• Own the overall technical design of the wind turbine system
• Set system architecture, requirements, and interfaces
• Make pragmatic trade-offs across performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability

Build and test real hardware

• Lead hands-on design, prototyping, testing, and iteration

Certification and safety

• Lead safety engineering, FMEA, and compliance with relevant standards (e.g. IEC 61400)
• Work directly with certification bodies and regulators

Lead a engineering team

• Mentor and guide a small, practical engineering team
• Set a culture of ownership, curiosity, and hands-on problem solving

Support the business

• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners
• Contribute to cost modelling, scalability, and investor discussions

Experience
