With the increase expected of Wind Turbine volumes, the quality of the SW that we deliver to our customers, and a solid architecture to sustain it, supported by the right engineering best practices, is of the utmost importance, so this is a critical leadership position within Vestas.

  • Evaluate and select appropriate technologies, tools and frameworks for embedded software development
  • Support adherence, development and improvement of relevant processes, tools & metrics from market input, through architecture and roadmap to product and module project processes
  • Strategy - Module strategic direction influencing structural setup and competencies
  • Define and implement software architecture and software development best practice guidelines
  • Highly committed to Software quality, performance and reliability

Qualifications

  • A minimum of 15 years of experience in software engineering, with relevant experience in SW Engineering leadership roles for embedded systems.
  • Extensive knowledge of software design principles, patterns, and best practices, with a systems engineering background, preferably certified.
  • Experience working within agile development methodologies, particularly SCRUM or SAFe.
  • Thorough knowledge of IEC 62443 and Secure Development Practices is required
  • Proven history of raising the SW development maturity and capabilities of organizations, particularly having taken organizations towards CMM level 4 or higher.
  • A good understanding of Software Product Line Engineering & software modularization.
  • Experience with Model-based software development is a positive. Additionally, familiarity with AI and Machine Learning is also a benefit

Competencies

  • You can identify yourself with Vestas Values: Passion, Accountability, Collaboration and Simplicity.
  • Have a mindset of system engineers.
  • Ability to guide through influence and not authority.
  • Great leadership competencies, coaching and growing teams.
  • Motivated by results and can get things done.
  • Open-minded and attracted by an international environment and big challenges.

What We Offer
