Software Engineer (Standardisation/Cyber Security)

Local Unit & Position Description

In a typical energy OT environment, several components and devices from different manufacturers have to interoperate flawlessly. Communication standards are a basic requirement to realize open infrastructures and device interoperability. Energy companies often require that a product passes a conformance test before they will proceed to purchase. The test will reveal any interpretation problems and bugs in the software at an early stage (before implementation on the customer’s site). In DNV’s experience, more than 90 percent of devices fail the first test. It has been proven that using certified products significantly reduces communication problems when a device enters service.

We are searching for two roles or two combined roles, Software Developer and/or Test Engineer.

In Arnhem we operate the world’s first accredited IEC 61850 level A test lab and within DNV we are the centre of excellence on data communication protocols. Our lab is recognized as leading the industry, leading the standardisation group with involvement in all power system communication standards, from cyber security to network modelling.

As a Software Developer/ Test Engineer you gather insights from our test engineers and external clients about the needs of our tools. You will be translating these needs into scrum user stories and plan them into our scrum session. You will gather market intelligence and discuss with our subject matter experts what trends and developments are taking place in the standardization commission and translate this into our development team.
