R0029285 R&D Engineer - Analog Electronics Hardware Design

The Opportunity

Do you have a deep interest in technology and would like to join a multinational organization with lots of development opportunities? Join Hitachi Energy as an R&D Engineer with a focus on Analog Electronics Hardware Design and work in a team dedicated to creating a future where innovative digital technologies bring cleaner energy to more people. Take a leap in your career and seize this opportunity!

In this role, you will be part of MACH Products in Ludvika. The MACH Control & Protection Platform R&D department is part of HVDC, Hitachi Energy, and is responsible for the development of state-of-the-art control system platforms for HVDC and FACTS applications. The MACH C&P department in Ludvika has around 70 employees, focusing mainly on hardware and software design, working in close collaboration with the global MACH C&P organization.

HVDC technology has been on the market for the past 60 years and is used, among other things, to transmit power over long distances with minimal losses, using overhead lines, underground, and submarine cable systems.

How you'll make an impact

• You will be responsible for the development and maintenance of valve electronics products, which constitute the heart of an HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system.
• The work requires a deep understanding of analog and/or power electronics, both theoretically and practically. Requirement management, development of design specifications, and documentation are also part of the work tasks.
• You will be responsible for creating robust designs within cost and time limits, with a product lifecycle management perspective.
• We work in a modern environment where both rapid prototyping and productification take place. We have tools and labs for the complete electronic hardware development cycle, from early prototype testing to final system verification. You will be responsible for your design in all these steps.
• You will embody 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

• You have already acquired extensive knowledge in the field through university education, preferably in electrical engineering and/or power electronics. A Master’s degree or higher is a plus.
• You have 8+ years of experience developing analog/power electronics hardware and 5+ years of experience with industry-standard schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
• You have proven experience in discrete analog electronics design, e.g., transistor-level design of analog front-end/output stages, amplifiers, comparators, converters, and gate drivers; experience with simulation and measurement techniques with proven experience in correlating theoretical and practical domains; theoretical knowledge and practical experience in EMI, EMC, grounding, and low-noise analog electronics design at the board level.
• Proficiency in board bring-up and debugging skills; Experience with lab equipment and test setups for analog signal measurements; Experience in product/system verification and environmental testing.
• Proven understanding and real-world application of DFx (DFM, DFA, and DFT); Practical knowledge in the manufacturing of PCBs and PCBAs; Experience with engineering best practices related to analog/power electronics design, test, and integration.
• Ability to prepare well-organized documentation for designs, verification/production tests, and manufacturing.
• Knowledge of the electronic hardware development life cycle and obsolescence management; Experience working with multi-functional hardware, software, and system architecture teams.
• Ability to write test software for hardware verification is a plus; Experience with PLM tools is a plus; Experience from reliability analysis such as MTBF, FMEA, and FTA is a plus.
