Product Manager (F/M/D) For Grid Model Management

Company Background and Motivation
Today, the energy world is changing to become carbon neutral. And renewable energy production has already grown to levels never thought possible. Distributed Energy Resources are growing 7-fold, and by the end of this decade decentralized power generation will catch up with conventional generation. Utility companies realize that yesterday’s solutions are not going to provide the answers to tomorrow’s challenges.

As market leader in software and consulting for meter data management, grid operations and grid planning, Siemens is in a prime position to tap into this opportunity. Our mission is to accelerate and secure the energy transition by supporting grid operators as well as industry and infrastructure players to master the according challenges in the smartest way.
