Empower the Future with Hitachi Energy: Join us as a Scientist in System Reliability. We are looking for a passionate and proficient scientist to join us in reliability research for power grid assets and systems. As part of our dynamic, motivated, and creative team, you'll bridge theory and application, developing, testing, and validating novel methods and technologies to facilitate the energy transition.

Your Responsibilities

• You make a difference: Analyse reliability, availability, maintainability and safety by state-of-the-art probabilistic methods, identify critical aspects by risk assessment and field data analysis, define and establish verifications based on reliability testing, and develop solutions for prognostics & health management.
• You innovate: Bring together a solid background in reliability engineering methods, mathematical modeling, asset performance management, and physics-of-failure understanding to improve quality and reliability on system level for mission-critical power grid equipment.
• You take initiative: Collaborate with a global team of researchers and engineers in Hitachi Energy Research and Hitachi Energy business units to identify and solve real-world problems and realize opportunities for further improvements.
• You connect: Build relationships within the company and actively share your knowledge and expertise. Interact with local and global external partners including universities, start-ups, and vendors.
• You communicate: Disseminate your results in scientific publications, patent applications, and technical reports.

• PhD or comparable qualification/experience in physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• Profound experience with reliability engineering methods in different domains (e.g. mechanical, electronics), and in one or preferably several of the following areas: data analytics and modeling, accelerated stress testing, data acquisition and signal processing, stochastic simulation, statistics, and machine learning.
• Industry or post-doc experience (in energy technology or other industries like automotive, rail, aerospace, telecommunication) in developing and implementing product reliability improvements is a plus.
• Experience working with power electronics systems or high-voltage components is beneficial.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
