Job Description Summary

The energy transition, particularly the decarbonization of electricity, is leading to a growing share of distributed renewable energy in the energy mix. This shift requires increased flexibility, posing new challenges for grid operators to ensure safe and resilient operation of the transmission system. One of the key drivers of this transition is the digital transformation of the power grid, specifically through the digitization of automated protection and control functions.

In this context, the management of an ever-evolving product portfolio and the growing demand for predictive maintenance are significantly impacting all software solutions for grid management, with a focus on hardware-agnostic, OS-agnostic, and virtualization technologies.
