Cyber Security Engineer

In this role as a cybersecurity professional in HVDC, you will be a part of a department which is responsible for the design of our automation system of the plants and transmissions. We design our control cabinet layout, consisting of hundreds of circuit boards for measurements, control, and calculations. Our system also includes user interfaces such as HMI (Human Machine Interface), diagnostic tools and IT (Information Technology) infrastructure and IT security. For this we utilize our in house developed real-time platform MACH to meet the power industry's standards.
