Do you want to shape the future of green energy? Vestas Technology & Operations > Research & Development (R&D) > Safety The Safety department is responsible for ensuring the complete end-to-end design of safety-critical software functions. Based on system-level functional safety requirements from stakeholders, we identify the safety software functions needed as well as any supporting control functions, determine the architecture required to support this, design the software requirements according to the safety integrity level required, perform the implementation, perform testing at multiple levels including hardware-in-the-loop and in wind turbine prototypes, and provide diagnostics and field support to service personnel. We implement and test safety-critical software in the ANSYS SCADE environment, and control functionality in MATLAB Simulink and C++.
The department consists of 20+ people, in multiple teams, possessing a broad range of competencies within functional safety, product knowledge, software development and other areas. Daily work is performed in scrum teams, and we work with a continuous improvement mindset focusing on automation of work processes.
