The Opportunity

At Hitachi Energy, our purpose is advancing a sustainable energy future for all. We bring power to our homes, schools, hospitals, and factories. Join us and work with fantastic people, while learning and developing yourself on projects that have a real impact on our communities and society. Bring your passion, bring your energy, and be part of a global team that appreciates a simple truth: Diversity + Collaboration = Great Innovation.

Imagine waking up every day to develop a system that is essential to create a sustainable and reliable energy system for societies and people around the globe.

MACH is the real-time, high-performance control system platform that we, at Technology and Solution Development within Hitachi Energy, develop in-house. The MACH platform is needed to connect offshore wind power, create synthetic inertia, connect energy systems over long distances, and create a robust electricity grid prepared for the future.

The MACH system comprises hundreds of circuit boards covering measurement, processing, semiconductor controls, and the digital signal interface used in our power electronics solutions. For the bespoke hardware, we also develop software, system solutions, engineering tools, and configuration tools. To effectively drive innovation, we develop the MACH platform in agile, cross-functional teams.

In the Embedded Systems department, we are now looking for enthusiastic FPGA designers who would like to strengthen our team and grow together on our journey towards a sustainable energy future. This position is located in Ludvika or Västerås.

How You'll Make an Impact
