POWER SOLUTIONS & VESTAS QUALITY > APPLICATIONS, CONTROLS & ELECTRICAL > CONTROL HARDWARE > YAW, LUBRICATION & HYDRAULICS

You will be part of the vital area of Yaw, Lubrication, and Hydraulics and Power Conversion within the Control HW organisation in Vestas’ R&D. We develop the next generation of control hardware solutions by utilizing the techniques of system engineering, modularization, and simulation to make the new wind turbines even smarter and thereby shaping the future of modern energy.
Your colleagues are Electrical Engineers, CAD Designers and technical leads based in Denmark and Chennai. The area is responsible for specifying and integrating the auxiliary control panels connected Yaw, Lubrication and Hydraulics in the Nacelle. Together with our suppliers, you will create solutions that are modular and can be reused across all our turbine platforms. The wind business is looking into an enormous increase and therefore one of our focuses is to reuse, simulate and automate more to deliver more with less. The area is involved in various activities, including innovation projects, feasibility studies and prototype testing, while focusing on product development as our main focus.
Our core competencies are electrical engineering, the integration of products and requirements specifications. In everything we do, we aim to display solid leadership and build products based on robust design. We live the Vestas values: Accountability, Collaboration, Simplicity and Passion, which form the backbone of our culture of striving for world class.
We take ownership of our critical components in Power Conversion. Align with sourcing, quality (PPAP) and service to get the best suitable service plans for both onshore and offshore products.
