It takes the brightest minds to be a technology leader. It takes imagination to create green energy for the generations to come. At Siemens Gamesa we make real what matters, join our global team.

Siemens Gamesa is part of Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy technology with a rich legacy of innovation spanning over 150 years. Together, we are committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As a leading player in the wind industry and manufacturer of wind turbines, we are passionate about driving the energy transition and providing innovative solutions that meet the growing energy demand of the global community.

The Turbine Control Functionality Development department is an integral part of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore and Onshore Technology organization that forms the core of our technological leadership. We continuously aim to be the best in class, and we are looking for several control engineers for our team in either Zamudio or Pamplona.

The Turbine Control Functionality Development department consists of around 13 dedicated engineers on locations in Denmark (Brande and Skovlunde) and Spain (Bilbao and Pamplona). We deliver competitive and high-quality control solutions that optimize the annual energy production of our offshore and onshore wind turbines without compromising the structural integrity and operational constraints in the sub-systems. We work on the forefront of technology and new product development.

As a Control Engineer, you will be working with project specific turbine control solutions as a main control resource by either leading or supporting in all phases of the development process from requirements setting, proof of concept, validation and to perform feature certification. The outcome is to improve the annual production of the turbine to yield additional benefit for the customer, or to reduce the loading to specific components leading to reduced costs. The work will also include documentation, procedure updates, troubleshooting and maintenance of our offshore and onshore turbine controller together with your colleagues.

1. Holds a B.Sc, M.Sc or Ph.D degree in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or similar.
2. Has a few years of relevant working experience as a control engineer, but bright and motivated minds are also welcome to apply.
3. Extensive knowledge and experience with control design in Matlab, Simulink, and familiarity with C/C++ and LaTeX.
4. Experience with control design applied in industry applications, preferably within the wind industry.
5. Excellent English skills, both written and oral.

As a person, we are looking for a motivating team player, who is resilient, responsible, and structured with excellent communication skills. You interact with stakeholders high and low in the organization as well as external stakeholders.
