HVDC Cyber Security Project Engineer

Do you want to enable the green energy transition and work with colleagues to build customized embedded control systems, including both software and hardware, to meet the world''s needs for sustainable energy?We believe HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, which enables energy transfer with direct current at high voltages, is a long-term sustainable solution. It is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. HVDC also helps alleviate electricity quality issues and can contribute to stabilizing power grids. For offshore wind power and underwater transmissions, direct current is often the only feasible energy transmission method.As a
cybersecurity professional in HVDC , you will be part of a department responsible for designing automation systems for our plants and transmissions. This includes designing control cabinet layouts with hundreds of circuit boards for measurements, control, and calculations, as well as developing user interfaces such as HMI (Human Machine Interface), diagnostic tools, and IT infrastructure, including IT security. We utilize our in-house developed real-time platform MACH to meet industry standards.We value your potential and personal commitment equally with your experience. Don’t hesitate to apply even if you don’t meet all the requirements. Join our fantastic team with diverse backgrounds and collaborative spirit!This is primarily an office-based role located in central
