Job Description:
MCCS Grid Analysis Product Line:

MCCS NextGen aims to replace classic, monolithic SCADA application and other operational tools with modules running in Kubernetes clusters, which exchange data via streaming services. MCCS NextGen Product is divided in several Product Lines, with different focuses.
The Product Line “Grid Analysis” is responsible for the conceptualization, development and implementation, testing and operation of grid calculation and analysis modules like Topology Processing, State Estimation, Network Security Calculations (static, dynamic) and optimization solutions for real-time and close-to-real-time
The work is performed in a Scrum Team with a dedicated Product Owner, Scrum Master, Architect and Business Analyst. The development team shall consist of:
o Development Electrical Engineers, who have experience with network analysis tools, algorithms and a good understanding of processes, physics and technology for transmission/ distribution grids. Focus is on electrical model creation, parametrization, testing, scripting and validation of the build solutions. They also bring special know-how in respect to optimization techniques/ frameworks.
o . NET/Python Developers, who will focus on modularization, deployment, data provision, automation, user interface and technological aspects of the development.
Basis for the grid calculations is the framework pandapower (Python based)Tasks/Activity

Goal:
Develop Grid Analysis Optimization modules based on given user stories within the scope of the Grid Analysis Product Line. Stability and robustness are extremely important since the application and its output are essential for critical processes within the control center.
It is crucial to develop software according to the Tailor Made Development (TMD) guidelines while still providing enough flexibility to accommodate future changes with minimal effort.

Your Tasks:

Producing clean, efficient code based on specifications and guidance
Develop, maintain and use deployment pipelines (following infrastructure as code paradigm)
Build & deploy Python services in Kubernetes
Setup automation/ test scripts to support Electrical Experts with Python expertise to enable them to efficiently feed their solutions with data and execute functional/ quality tests
Fixing and improving existing software (tailor made implementations, pandapower, data converters)
Implementation of technical solutions in deep collaboration with all team members incl. TMD architects
Put specific focus on user centric software design and develop software that meets and exceeds the needs of our internal customer and as well fits to the requirement for the supported external business process
Professionally maintain all software and create updates regularly to address customer requirements
