Application Control Software Lead Engineer (Data Center)

at  Danfoss

JOB DESCRIPTION

Danfoss Climate Solutions are seeking a Control SW Engineer to design and develop control applications for new decarbonizing applications.
The increasing demand for environmentally sustainable solutions is propelling a shift towards greater automation and integration of heating, cooling, and air conditioning systems within commercial buildings. This integration aims to improve energy efficiency and promote the adoption of clean energy sources.
An area experiencing rapid expansion is data centers, driven by the escalating need for cloud computing power, particularly fueled by the growing utilization of AI services. However, data centers are notorious for their significant energy consumption, requiring robust and precise cooling and temperature control systems.
As member of our team, your role will be to develop cutting-edge control software tailored for managing diverse sub-systems within data centers. These include Cooling Distribution Units (CDU), optimizing facility water and technical water loops, control of pump skids, and implementing heat recovery strategies. To streamline testing and enhance development speed, we intend to utilize model-based design and simulation methodologies.
This position is available in Nordborg (DK) or possibly Venice/Mestre (IT) as a hybrid role, and we would for the right candidate consider relocation to Nordborg from EU only.
