Wind, it means the world to us. What does it mean for you?Vestas Technology & Operations > Research & Development (R&D) > Converter Design & IntegrationVestas R&D is where new product ideas or technologies are matured, developed, tested, and improved. To put it short, Vestas R&D is the cornerstone of Vestas. We are shaping the future of modern energy.The Converter & Electrical Module is part of Vestas R&D organization. The department is an essential contributor in making the current and future wind turbines more efficient and cost-effective by developing the electrical power conversion components as power stack (power electronics), transformer, and switchgear. This is done by being responsible for development and maintenance of the components according to the full value chain requirements. All Vestas products are based on internally developed converters since electrical power conversion is at the core of how a wind turbine performs, operates, and interacts with the electrical grid.The daily work will be within a broad network of stakeholders and together with the electrical, mechanical, and thermal specialists you will set the standard for tomorrow's design.You will be a part of the Converter Design & Integration team within the Converter & Electrical Module.
