The opportunity

Electrical design engineers develop the next-generation technologies in HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) that enable to transmit electricity over long distances and via submarine cables which provides billions to access electricity. As a electrical design engineer, you will work in R&D organization on a specific development project critical to Hitachi Energy needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve.

The current technology has enabled the connection of renewalbe energy such as large offshore wind and remote solar generators to the grid and brings clean energy to large cities. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas to make the power grid greener and smarter as we continue to push the technology forward.

• Performing calculations and simulations to determine voltage stresses and losses in the semiconductors and valve electronics and verify your calculations with hands-on high power testing in our test laboratories.
• Conceptualize, simulate, develop and test power electronics circuits for high power transmission applications.
• Design and specify components, collaborate with suppliers, and plan and run tests on prototypes.
• Take responsibility for the design of electrical subsystems of our converter stations from ideation phase through concept and detail design to final test and verification.
• You will live Hitachi's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
• You enjoy working agile and hands-on, and you are ready to take ownership of both the technology you're working with, and your own personal development.
