Job description

Job description

Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Senior Real-Time Solver Development Expert.

About the team:

The Smart Grid Technology Lab’s research focuses on Power electronics, Energy Management Systems and other Smart Grid Technologies, applying the latest technology to the digital power industry. The lab has become a research organization with many significant industry achievements.

About the job:

• Researching, designing, and implementing CPU- and FPGA- based real-time numerical solvers for power systems and power-electronics-dominated systems
• Developing C/C++-based real-time simulation frameworks under strict real-time constraints (fixed time step), and maintaining existing solver code to improve performance, stability, and scalability
• Developing real-time simulation components for CPU and FPGA platforms, including power converters (AC-DC, DC-DC, DC-AC), MMC models (average models for large-scale systems and switching models for detailed validation), and electrical machines
• Developing and maintaining a schematic editor for power systems and power electronics modeling
• Ensuring the effective implementation and execution of real-time simulation technical plans

Job requirements

About the ideal candidate:

• Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Power Electronics, or a closely related R&D field
• At least 10 years of professional experience in power systems, power electronics, or real-time simulation–related R&D
• Solid experience with power system, electrical circuit, and power electronics simulation tools (EMTP, PSCAD, PLECS, PSIM, SPICE, Simulink, SABER, etc.)
• Solid experience with numerical methods for ODE/DAE-based systems, parallel computing (multi-core CPU, FPGA acceleration) and developing simulation tools or solvers (not only model usage)
• Strong C/C++ programming skills and experience developing real-time simulation frameworks or solvers
• Experience or strong interest in real-time simulation, including CPU and FPGA execution constraints
• Demonstrate strong technical problem-solving ability and experience contributing to new technology development

Huawei aims to support a French-speaking work environment for its employees in Quebec. We have taken steps to avoid requiring a language other than French for this position. However, proficiency in English is essential for this role for the following reasons:

The person will be required to communicate regularly with colleagues located outside Quebec, where English is the primary language used for communication between offices. In addition, the nature of the tasks related to this position, which falls within a highly specialized field of artificial intelligence, also requires knowledge of English.
