Software Engineer for Critical Infrastructure Applications

DNV is seeking a Software Engineer for Critical Infrastructure Applications in Dresden, Germany, to develop a control system for grid restoration amidst increasing renewable energy generation. Responsibilities include automating high voltage grid operations, developing real-time algorithms, and collaborating with experts to ensure reliable control systems. This full-time position involves working on a power grid control center application using modern technologies.
From 2030, we expect significantly less electricity feed-in from large-scale generators (coal) but increasing renewable energy generation. The decentralized structure and the higher fluctuation of RE generation and loads pose new challenges for grid restoration after a large-scale blackout. We are developing a control system component that supports grid restoration under these conditions through software-based awareness and situational recommendations for action.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to become part of our Energy Systems team in Dresden.

Join us and:
• Automate operations in the high voltage grid,
• Make electrical energy supply more secure,
• Engage in shaping the energy transition.

You can expect to:
• Participate in the development of a power grid control center application for network restoration,
• Implement real-time algorithms using a modern technology stack in a Linux environment,
• Develop and integrate APIs and data models based on CIM (Common Information Model) / CGMES,
• Collaborate closely with power grid and control system experts,
• Deliver stable, reliable, secure solutions for control systems,
• Pioneer the architecture of high-performance power grid control center applications together with software engineering experts.
