Job description

Integrated Power Modelling (IPM), part of the OneTech Technical Line Power, supports the company’stechnological ambition to digitalize the entire renewable energies value chain. It brings together multidisciplinary expertise (scientific and digital) to deliver digital solutions aimed at maximizing both theperformance and value of renewable assets (solar, wind, energy storage).

It is built around four platforms, each oriented towards internal business clients (GRP, REN, FPI, Trading, etc.):Origination & Design, Grid Integration, Operations Performance & Optimization, and Forecasting. Each platformis structured into three teams: Product Solutions (PS), Research & Capability Development (RCD) and Software Delivery & Operations (SDO).

The Grid Integration platform products focus on numerical tools aiming at optimizing the connection of our renewable assets to the electrical grid. We tackle real-world challenges from network constraints, curtail men trisks to electrical standards and regulatory compliance. It incorporates physics-based models connected tovarious data streams (weather forecasts, power demand, and more) with strong data/cloud integration.

As Software/Platform Architect, you will operate in the SDO team, and interact with close collaboration withTechnical Leads (in SDO), Product Owners (in SDO) and RCD teams, as well as with out-of-IPM entities (e.g.Digital Line, IT Department, Innovation Accelerator, TTE On…)

Interested in taking on new challenges in the exciting world of electricity?

Join the “Grid Integration” platform,within the newly established strategic program IPM (Integrated Power Modeling), as a Software Delivery &Operations Architect and take part in innovative projects at the heart of the energy transition.Within an organization undergoing digital transformation, the Software/Platform Architect leads the design and evolution of software architectures in collaboration with Tech Leads, developers, Data Engineers, ProductOwners, cybersecurity teams, and cloud teams (AWS/Azure).
