In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Design, implement, validate, and release turbine-control features based on defined technical requirements.
• Develop and maintain, configurations, test specifications, and release documentation.
• Perform simulations and functional tests to assess turbine loads, performance, and controller behavior.
• Analyze operational data and turbine logs to troubleshoot issues and identify optimization opportunities.
• Tune control software in simulation environments and, when required, at turbine sites.
• Support prototype, retrofit, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities remotely and on-site.
• Provide technical input for project planning, risk assessment, customer discussions, and engineering decisions.
• Improve turbine-control tools, methods, and development processes while sharing knowledge with colleagues.

Who You Are:

• You solve complex technical challenges using a structured and analytical approach.
• You take ownership of your work and deliver according to agreed priorities and deadlines.
• You use data and engineering judgment to make informed technical decisions.
• You communicate complex technical topics clearly to different audiences.
• You collaborate effectively across teams and with internal and external stakeholders.
• You maintain high quality standards and proactively raise technical risks or critical deviations.
• You continuously look for ways to improve engineering tools, methods, and processes.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Automation, or a related field.
• At least two years of relevant engineering or development experience.
• Practical experience with control-system development, testing, troubleshooting, or validation.
• Advanced working knowledge of MATLAB and Simulink.
• Strong software development, debugging, and technical problem-solving skills.
• Experience analyzing technical data and preparing specifications, reports, or test documentation.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Willingness to travel approximately 30 days per year for testing, commissioning, and technical support.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Experience with wind-turbine control systems or renewable-energy technologies.
• Understanding of wind-turbine functionality, loads, performance, and control behavior.
• Experience with GH Bladed or comparable simulation and load-analysis software.
• Familiarity with PEPTOOL or similar configuration and parameter-management tools.
• Experience tuning controllers in simulation environments or on operational equipment.
• Knowledge of acceptance testing, interface testing, or D-FMEA methodologies.
• Experience supporting prototype development, retrofit projects, commissioning, or site troubleshooting.
• Previous collaboration with customers, suppliers, universities, or technology partners.
