Engineering Intern-Wind Engineering Operations

Job Description Summary

This internship provides a hands-on opportunity to contribute to the development of a configuration management framework for Wind Turbine products, using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system best practices. The project focuses on defining how platforms, product families, and variants are structured, managed, and represented in the PLM system to enable controlled configuration and efficient data reuse

Job Description

The goal of the project is to define and implement the process and data structure for managing Wind Turbine product platforms, families, and variants in a PLM environment. This will establish a clear and standardized foundation for configuration control, product evolution, and option management across the product lifecycle.

Intern will:

• Define together with Config Management leader the rules and governance for platform, family, and variant management.
• Complete the product hierarchy model that supports configuration-driven development and reuse across multiple Wind Turbine variants.
• Identify and consolidate existing data from multiple tools (e.g., Excel lists, PLM, engineering databases) into the PLM system.
• Define quality checks on data consistency, hierarchy integrity.

• Process documentation describing how platforms, families, and variants are defined, approved, and maintained.
• Complete the implementation of the product hierarchy model in the PLM system, demonstrating relationships between base platforms and derived variants.
• Data mapping report showing how existing data from current tools are integrated into the new structure.
• Governance and ownership model defining stakeholder roles and responsibilities.
• Final presentation and summary report outlining results, lessons learned, and recommendations for next steps
