That control system is designed to run 24/7 for thirty years or more, handling for all control and protection functions. Development in Krakow covers High-Speed digital control boards, I/O Measurements systems and Power Electronics control & protection circuits. As a part of global R&D organization you will cooperate on daily bases with colleagues from MACH™ teams in Sweden and India, all working under same Agile framework (SAFe), developing End-to-End solutions integrating electronic hardware, FPGA, and embedded software.

You will join Digital HW Electronics team lead by Michal Kamon, applying your knowledge and skills in technology and/or product development.

- You will see how your personal efforts converted to real products, impacting evolution of electrical grids, making it more green, reliable, and resilient.

- You will work in comfortable office with great transport communication (near central station), with modern equipment in our brand-new on-site laboratory area.

- Our organization will support your competence development, knowledge sharing, work-life balance, harmony of diversity.

- Our teammates are open-minded, friendly, and working in good spirit."

Your Responsibilities:

- Participate in the full lifecycle of hardware platform for HVDC Control & Protection system, from idea, requirements, simulations, prototyping, testing up to release & sustaining production.
- Take care of robust design, including analogue/digital electronics, high speed, optoelectronics, gate drivers, power electronic, etc...
- Do conceptual design of hardware platform based on initial requirements, influence technology based on your knowledge and experience.
- Work with simulations, parts selection, schematics, and layout.
- Do prototyping, validating, and testing. Care of testing infrastructure and environment.
- Prepare and manage technical documentation.
- Participate in technical reviews and project planning.
- Drive processes and tools improvement activities.
- Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background
