Who we are and what we do

Digital Product Development (DPD) develops digital products for Wärtsilä’s Marine and Energy business units. One of our well-known products is Wärtsilä Expert Insight, which uses real-time vessel engine data to detect and predict maintenance needs. To collect and process operational data, DPD develops Edge solutions by using common technology stack in development work. Currently, DPD consists of 120+ product developers organized into 11 teams. We have several scrum masters who support these teams, and one PO who sets the vision and direction in which the teams develop our products. As a department, we are very flat and promote actively non-hierarchical, agile ways of working. We have an amazing team and we are excited about our work and the impact it has—building sustainable societies. We are looking to find a colleague with this shared passion for smart technologies and a sustainable future.
