Vacant job

The Opportunity

Do you want to enable the green energy transition and, together with your colleagues, meet the world's need for sustainable, flexible, and secure energy?

In your role, you will be part of the HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit, which is part of Hitachi Energy's division and is located in Ludvika. The unit develops, manufactures, and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy's developed HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances and for power transmission via submarine cables, thereby enabling stability, cooperation between grids, offshore wind power, and more.

Are you interested in working in the EMC domain within a challenging electromagnetic environment, where signal cables, electronics, and many other systems meet high voltages and currents? Do you want to help ensure that the system maintains full functionality during fast transients with very high voltages? Does a department working to bridge mechanical and electrical aspects of the design by performing electro-mechanical studies with an overall system perspective in large-scale projects, all in a highly international environment, sound interesting? Then perhaps you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!

How You’ll Make an Impact

• You will use your practical EMC experience to ensure proper design and controlled performance during normal use, fast switching of a high-voltage/high-current system, as well as during catastrophic events such as short circuits and the like.
• The role includes:
• Continuous improvement of guidelines and processes related to your area
• Documenting strategies in different types of deliveries
• Defining interdepartmental interfaces for requirements and implementations.
• Performing inspections to ensure proper installations at our sites internationally
• Working together with experts in areas like RF emission simulations and studies, grounding of very high currents, and electromagnetic field simulations.
• Being part of R&D activities to ensure we remain competitive also for the future.
• In this role, you will have many opportunities to explore various technical fields. The department is active in several multiphysics areas in close cooperation with both electrical and mechanical functions.

Your Background

• We are looking for a Master of Science degree in an electrical field, applied physics, power systems, or similar.
• An experienced professional with several years of experience in the EMC field.
• You have a keen interest in or understanding of mechanical aspects as well as electrical design.
• Experience in the design of auxiliary power systems in HVDC or substation environments, or other areas where high currents are involved.
• Previous experience in any of the other technical areas is beneficial but not a requirement; your personality and interest are of high importance.
• As a person, you are a positive, problem-solving individual with the attitude that everything is possible to achieve in a team. You will work in a team where the ability to take responsibility and a willingness to learn are key features.
• A general interest in technology is needed to be a good fit for this position. The goal is to have cost-effective solutions while fulfilling all requirements, which is why common sense and an understanding of practical aspects are beneficial.
• You should ideally enjoy working in a multicultural environment and be able to express yourself written and spoken in English.
