Wind turbine manufacturer scaling engineering for next-gen blade and control systems
Sinovel is a large-scale Chinese wind turbine manufacturer (5,001–10,000 employees, public company) with a production footprint spanning onshore, offshore, and intertidal installations globally. The tech stack—dominated by CAD, simulation (ANSYS, HYPERMESH, ABAQUS, Fluent, STAR-CCM+), and embedded systems (ARM, AUTOSAR, CAN, LoRa, MQTT)—reflects a hardware-centric organization deep in aerodynamic and mechanical design. Active hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering (48 of 61 roles, accelerating velocity), with concurrent projects addressing blade optimization, control-system design, and electrical transmission architecture—signaling an engineering-led push to solve known reliability and power-output gaps.
Sinovel manufactures multi-megawatt wind turbines in the 1.5MW to 6.0MW range, with installed capacity across Class I–IV IEC wind zones and cold-weather variants. The company has supplied over 5% of global installed wind capacity as of 2011, with operations spanning China and international markets. Core business activities include design, manufacture, and on-site installation; the product portfolio is complemented by full-service warranty and continuous R&D. Recent work has expanded into commercial and industrial energy storage, broadening the energy systems footprint beyond turbine hardware alone.
Wind turbines in 1.5MW, 3.0MW, 5.0MW, and 6.0MW series for onshore, offshore, and intertidal deployment, rated for Class I–IV IEC wind zones including cold-weather environments.
CAD/simulation tools (AutoCAD, Solidworks, ANSYS, Fluent, STAR-CCM+, ABAQUS), embedded systems (ARM, AUTOSAR, CAN, LoRa, MQTT), and control software (DIgSILENT, PSCAD, MATLAB), with C/C++ and Linux for firmware.
Yes. 48 of 61 active roles (79%) are engineering positions across mid (27), junior (22), and senior (12) levels, with hiring focused in China and velocity accelerating.
