That makes this job interesting for me: As a lead developer I will also guide the development team on how to build scalable and reliable solutions as well as I`ll be actively contributing to the systems architecture. I will have the chance to integrate a product organization which is developing the Next Generation Control Center Ecosystem MCCS (Modular Control Center System) to meet the requirements of digitalization in the energy transition.

The Adaptation Suite is an integral part of the Grid Asset and System Platform (GrASP), providing seamless integration and compatibility with various industry protocols, SCADA systems, and file operations. Leveraging the power of Apache Camel in the background, it acts as the middleware that transforms and routes messages effectively, ensuring smooth communication across the system.

New colleagues should definitely be motivated - that's how I started and quickly saw a lot of exciting things.
At 50Hertz, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the team to develop entirely new software for the Control Center, creatingsomething groundbreaking for a transmission system operator. This project not only presents exciting technical challenges but also demonstrated the immense potential achieved through teamwork.
