Job Description SummaryGrid Automation offers its customers a complete range of innovative products, systems and services covering design and manufacture, as well as commissioning and long-term maintenance of Substation Protection and Automation solutions. This includes, amongst others, Protection relays, control systems, cyber security solutions, device management, asset performance, and many more. Grid Automation Software operates at the boundaries of Grid technologies, embedded software and advanced analytics solutions. If you’re passionate about Software and want to work on improving Grid resilience through Software, this is the job for you.
We are looking for a Deployment and Site Reliability Engineer to join the GridBeats™ team. The GridBeats™ Software Portfolio aggregates all Grid Automation applications which monitor, optimize and manage grid connected devices. It is a very complex and exciting portfolio which is setting the basis for grid connected devices management for the future.
The Deployment and Site Reliability Engineer takes GridBeats™ software into customer operation and keeps it running there. The role deploys, commissions, and upgrades our software at customer sites and remotely, and is the technical escalation point when something critical breaks in a live installation. It is the engineer customers and Regional Operations rely on when a deployment has to succeed inside a maintenance window, and when a production issue has to be understood and resolved rather than merely logged. The portfolio runs on Kubernetes, so deep Kubernetes skill is the central technical requirement for this position.
This is a customer-facing, hands-on role, and it is not a product engineering role. The software is built by the product teams; this role gets it installed, proven, and supported in real substation and utility environments, and feeds what it learns in the field back into the products. Travel to customer sites, work inside planned maintenance windows, and availability for critical issues outside normal hours are an integral part of the job.Job Description
