Description du poste

Do you want to move Vattenfall forward in the emerging energy landscape? We're looking for R&D Engineers with focus on control, automation, and OT integration to our Digital Energy Solutions section.

About The Team

At Digital Energy Solutions, we develop solutions that make our energy systems more efficient, flexible and secure. From decentralized solutions such as batteries, e-mobility and demand response, to automation, secure IT/OT integration and communications; our team turns innovation into real-world impact, accelerating the transition to fossil freedom.

The team works broadly at system level while remaining close to implementation. We typically take ideas from technical and business needs to system concepts, proof of concepts, laboratory demonstrations and preparation for field-ready solutions in Vattenfall's generation, distribution and customer-facing businesses.

Your role

You will work at the intersection of electrical engineering, control and automation, power-system communications, energy management, and secure OT integration.

Role

Depending on your background, you will work more in depth within one or more areas as the role is adaptable. Technical areas we primarily work with are:

• Operational technology & grid automation: automation systems for digital substations, control, protection and automation functions, virtualized & edge solutions, as well as automated engineering workflows.
• IT/OT integration & communications: everything from standardized data modelling (IEC 61850, IEC CIM, etc.) to industrial networks and communication protocols (IEC 60870-5-101/104, Modbus (RTU/TCP), IEC 61850, OPC UA, MQTT, etc.), time synchronization, redundant communication and operational data integration. Including design of secure OT- & enterprise architecture.
