As part of Vestas' journey towards a modular product, the technology has created modules and sub-modules. Within the sub-modules, we have senior functional leads who are fully responsible for the technical aspects of a complete functional area of the wind turbine. Senior functional leads are critical to the organization as they are the pinnacle of the strategy, roadmap and technical leadership for development teams overseeing those functional areas. This is a position of high responsibility, but also great significance, as senior functional leads are responsible not only for the development, but also for guiding the teams to ensure quality while ensuring the overall coordination of their functional areas within the scope of the entire Vestas turbine software environment. The Technical Management submodule sits within the Vestas Turbine Software organization. The Technical Management submodule works with the overall architecture and software strategy for turbine control, including critical aspects of turbine operation, e.g., the control of the safety systems, implementing and testing software based on requirements with the purpose of preventing turbine structural damage and personnel injuries, all carried out in close collaboration with mechanical and electrical stakeholders. The safety software teams that you will be setting the technical direction for consist of highly skilled, international, experienced engineers who are taking responsibility for all aspects of the safety software deliverables, which are developed at our Porto, Portugal and Aarhus, Denmark locations.
Job Responsibility:
The continued development of safety software processes, including activities to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards such as ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61508
ensuring that safety development processes, strategic roadmap, architecture and quality expectations are met
ensuring that safety software stays competitive by keeping abreast of developments within relevant industries and translating this to a strategy that can be executed by the safety software sub-module
implementing safety software modularization in line with the goals of the Vestas modularization strategy
participate in requirement development and discussions of design considerations for new features within safety software
guiding intellectual property development within safety software, including patents and ensuring freedom to operate
have a thorough understanding of the technical domain under your responsibility, together with the architecture and context of the safety software submodule
manage and integrate the technical submodule roadmap, following Vestas' modularization strategy, to improve work and enhance reusability across wind turbine platforms
