Safety System Oriented to Wind Turbine Control

**Descripción**:
StoW

General Scope:
Control engineering service organization: Provide safety system expertise oriented to control, optimization and validation, to wind turbine controller.

Description:
The safety system is a backup control system that protects the turbine and people from the most critical risk identified during the design phase of the machine. In this role, the system safety engineer will partner with globally located cross-functional teams to evaluate the safety of wind turbines during development and throughout the product life cycle of all Onshore wind turbines. The system safety engineer will be responsible for evaluating the hazards and ensures all the turbine safety related risks are reduced to the lowest level practicable.

Main tasks:
Lead turbine functional safety analyses to identify safety requirements and flow down results to the development team for implementation (typically Electrical, Hydraulic, Loads, Control, EHS and Software).

Lead safety risk assessments for new and existing units to assess the risk and identify mitigation measures.

Support the design and test teams with safety requirements interpretations to ensure timely implementation.

Manage and maintain the implementation of EN ISO 13849-1 and 2 - Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems, or an equivalent standard.

Assess the effects of functional safety requirements on turbine design load cases, turbine operability, turbine control hardware, and turbine control software and driving relevant changes into these areas.

Create safety documentation in accordance with SGRE new product development process.

Lead integration of overall functional safety across products with Turbine Safety and Monitoring Systems team to drive consistent safety concepts and uniform design

Review the system, subsystem, component level requirements and test requirements against the safety regulations and verify the traceability of the product.

Review and sign off on the test plans and test procedures to ensure the safety functions are tested adequately.

Review safety analysis performed by other safety engineers on the team.

Participate in the Operational Turbine Safety Committee to ensure the product related changes have been assessed for safety and the updates are fed back to the design team.

Provide safety engineering mentoring and training to engineers with less safety experience.

Lead root cause work on issued safety components / system in corporation with relevant teams.

General Deliverables: Drawings, calculation reports, new designs, coordination report, etc.

**Requisitos**:

- Technical qualifications needed for the service: (technical skills, experience in the specific service to be outsourced)

Bachelor's degree, preferably in an engineering focused discipline (system engineering background preferred)

Minimum of 3 years of experience in industry, preferably in system safety design
- Highly desirable:
