The opportunity

Join Hitachi Energy and work in a team that is dedicated to creating a future where innovative digital technologies allow greater access to cleaner energy.

As R&D Mechanical Engineer, you will join our Technology Center in Italy- Monselice, an organization leading continuous research and development activities on transformers. As part of our R&D Technology Center, you will contribute to the development of projects related to the mechanical performance of power transformers.

As a member of a highly skilled Technology Center, part of the global Hitachi Energy R&D community, you will run projects and contribute to the successful project's roadmap execution.

How you'll make an impact

• Propose and Develop new technologies, products, and processes for power transformers.
• Lead and manage R&D projects self-driven on time, on budget, and on quality following internal standards and processes.
• Maintain existing and develop new technical standards and design tools for transformers.
• Transfer your knowledge and findings by elaborating reports, specifications and/or participating in educational programs.
• Assess production processes and proactively identify gaps and areas of improvement.
• Support factories troubleshooting in your domain of expertise.
• Develop, manage and expand relationships with stakeholders, internal functions, Corporate Research Centers and external relevant parties (e.g. customers, universities). Providing proposals for possible partnerships.

• Master's degree in mechanical engineering.
• More than 5 years of experience, better if in transformers business, either in R&D projects, power transformers mechanical design or University research. Experience with project management activities.
