Job Description:

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

Requirements:

  • 10 years of professional experience
  • at least 5 years of experience working in safety software development and technical leadership roles
  • basic understanding and experience in Agile software development framework
  • demonstrated effective leadership in technical roles within software development domains
  • effective communication skills
  • fluent in English, both written and spoken
  • aspiration and willingness to learn about wind turbine design processes from a software engineering perspective
  • continuous improvement mindset
  • alignment with Vestas Values: Passion, Accountability, Collaboration and Simplicity
  • customer-oriented mindset
  • ability to build trust with colleagues and persuade stakeholders
  • driven by results and by accomplishing tasks efficiently
  • open-minded and attracted by an international environment
  • solid leadership skills and capable of acting as a motivator
  • innovative, customer-focused and committed to quality
What we offer:
  • Role with technical responsibility for an important function area of the software system
  • highly collaborative team
  • empower you to make your own decisions and implement your ideas
  • build a large network across a large and global organization
  • significant opportunities for cross-disciplinary and personal development
  • result-oriented work environment
  • high professional level
