The opportunity

Do you want to enable the green energy transition, and together with colleagues meet the world’s needs for sustainable, flexible and insecure energy?

In your work you will be part of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit that is a part of Hitachi Energy’s division. The main HVDC office is in Ludvika, but for the right candidate the Västerås office may be an option. 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, thus enabling stability cooperation between grids, sea-based wind power and more.

Are you interested in combining acoustic analysis with high voltage (hundreds of kV) and high power (GW) topics together with common sense? You will be analysing noise propagation, suggesting and specifying mitigations on equipment and plant level and supporting the organization in the acoustic area as well as maintaining an overall plant perspective in large scale projects, all in a highly international environment. Then maybe you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!

Your background

• We are looking for Doctor or Master of Science in acoustics or similar experience.

• Even though you have a degree in acoustics you also have a keen interest in, or understanding of, other areas like mechanics, climate, and electrical aspects in order to combine acoustic knowledge with the requirements on our delivery.
• Prior experience in any of the technical areas is beneficial but not a demand, 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 do in a team. You will work in a team where being able to take responsibility and willingness to learn are key features.
• A general interest in technology is needed to be a good fit in this position. The goal is to have cost-effective solutions while fulfilling all requirements. Common sense and understanding of practical aspects is beneficial.
