Vattenfall is one of Europe's largest producers and retailers of electricity and heat. Our main markets are Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK. The Vattenfall Group has approximately 20,000 employees. We have been electrifying industries, powering homes and transforming life through innovation for more than 100 years. We now want to make fossil free living possible within one generation and we are driving the transition to a sustainable energy system.
Job Description
Do you want to be part of developing grid solutions for the future energy landscape? Do you want to be a force in taking Vattenfall forward in this direction enabling our grids to make room for new active customers, include higher amounts of renewable energy resources, and speed up the communication and control of our new grids. Are you looking for a diverse working place characterized by team spirit, flexibility, and an open atmosphere?
If yes: we have a great opportunity for you!
As an R&D Engineer we need you to strengthen our Power Technology Section by working to develop new technology in the distribution system towards better and more efficient grid supervision and control. This includes secure information exchange towards external energy resources such as solar, wind and battery storage.
The competence is crucial for Vattenfall to fulfil the vision of "Fossil Freedom".
Vattenfall R&D is responsible for conducting corporate business driven technical development that creates value for Vattenfall and helps realizing our strategy of doubling the capacity in the grid and maintaining 99.99% security of supply. We work in agile teams close to the business of Vattenfall. The corporate R&D unit employs 135 people located in three different offices in Sweden and Denmark.
The section Power Technology works with power system analysis and control needed to understand bottlenecks and dynamic behaviours in the electrical grid as well as optimization and control of the power system including both its loads, productions, and control. The department delivers major and often challenging assignments together with experts from other parts of Vattenfall and consultants.
At Vattenfall R&D we go from ideas to real projects in short time.
We know that our employees change the future of Vattenfall and their ideas are extremely important. Vattenfall plays an active role in implementing new ways of controlling the power systems. We believe that decentralized production will be the next energy revolution supported and driven by our customers, local control systems, IT, electrical components, as well as your engagement. This means great development needs in the electrical area. We offer you a flexible and warm work environment, a diverse group in age, gender, and nationalities where everyone is on an equal footing, a team of considerable freedom to shape your own day-to-day activities and the opportunity to work in an exciting and changing technical field of strategic importance to the company. At Vattenfall we put high priority to enable a good balance between work and private life.
About the position
The R&D program Flexible Grid has the need of an engineer with knowledge about technical IT (automation, communication, and handling of information) for equipment. In this team you will work together with specialists in Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to develop concepts for handling future demands on the electrical power system. Common tasks that your role will cover together with the team is: Requirement Engineering, Solution and Concept development, as well as specify, plan and execute Proof Of Concepts (POC) that prepares the business towards implementation. In the R&D program Flexible Grid we test and verify future communication concepts in the distribution system most often in lab environments.
Moreover, in the position you will lead your own customer-focused projects including communicating and developing customer relationships with Business Areas such as Distribution.
Qualifications
We see that the successful candidate holds a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Electric Power Systems or similar. You should have an IT/OT communication profile with good knowledge of the power system.

Since you will be working in an international, diverse environment, fluency in English is a must, while a good command of Swedish is not a requirement but will be considered as a merit.
On the personal level, you are analytical, committed and self-driven with good communication and interpersonal skills. You are able to communicate and present clearly at all levels. You are able to develop rough ideas and ambitions into concrete and successful projects. As the work involves extensive interaction both internally and with external partners and suppliers, a good understanding of commercial aspects and an ability to establish and maintain relationships and networks is key.
A passion for new technology we believe is a necessity for this role.
