The opportunity

We are looking for a passionate and proficient industrial specialist with expertise in power system analysis/management and high‑level programming. In an inter‑disciplinary environment, you will drive cutting‑edge innovation for different complex systems in power grid applications. Join our dynamic and motivated team to contribute to a sustainable energy future for all.

Your background

• Master Electrical/Power Systems Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Master’s degree with equivalent industry experience
• Proven expertise in modelling and steady‑state analyses of power grids demonstrated hands‑on expertise applying these methods in software development.
• Knowledge in mathematical optimisation applied to power systems, and modern numerical solvers is strongly desired (e.g., MIP/NLP, stochastic; tools such as Gurobi, CPLEX, Ipopt). Experience with machine learning and/or artificial intelligence technologies is a plus.
• Proficiency in C#, C++, Rust or a similar high‑level programming language is required; Python and/or Matlab for analytics and fast prototyping are a plus.
• Experience building state‑of‑the‑art software engineering techniques (version control, code reviews, testing, CI/CD) and integrating solution algorithms into applications are beneficial (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). High performance computing skills such as parallel/distributed computing, GPU, OpenMP or MPI would be beneficial.
• Excellent communication skills in English, team‑player attitude, initiative and creativity.

How you’ll make an impact

• Create impact: Together with your team design innovative approaches for grid operation and deliver them as robust software modules.
• Investigate: Translate real power‑system problems into rigorous models and final solutions for the customers.
• Take initiative: Collaborate with a global and inter‑disciplinary team of researchers and engineers in Hitachi Energy to drive the development from concept to production.
• Connect: Build relationships within the company and actively share your knowledge and expertise. Interact with local and global external partners including universities, start‑ups, and vendors to integrate diverse perspectives and stakeholder inputs.
