Job description

The opportunity

Do you want to enable the green energy transition, and together with colleagues meet the world's needs for sustainable, flexible and secure 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 and is located in Ludvika. The unit develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy's 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 working in the EMC domain in a challenging electromagnetic environment, where signal cables, electronics and many other systems meet high voltages and currents? Do you want to help ensure that the system maintains full functionality during fast transients with very high voltages? Does a department working to bridge mechanical and electrical aspects of the design by performing electro‑mechanical studies with an overall system perspective in large scale projects, all in a highly international environment sound interesting? Then maybe you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!

How you'll make an impact

• You use your EMC experience to ensure proper design and controlled performance during normal use, fast switching of a high voltage‑high current system as well as during catastrophic events such as short circuits and the like.

The role includes:

• Continuous improvement of guidelines and processes related to your area
• Modelling propagation of disturbances in R&D and projects to deepen knowledge and ensure the right level of mitigations are used.
• Documenting instructions and requirements from an EMC perspective to civil designers and builders in tenders, projects.
• Performing inspections to ensure proper installations at our sites internationally
• Work together with experts in areas like RF emission simulations and studies, grounding of very high currents and electro‑magnetic field simulations.
• Being part of R&D activities to make sure we stay competitive also for the future.
• In this role you will have a lot of opportunities to explore various technical fields. The department is active in several multiphysics areas in close cooperation with both electrical and mechanical functions.

Your background

• Master of Science degree in an electrical field, applied physics, power systems or similar.
• Experience from EMC area or 3D HF simulations are big merits.
• Keen interest in or understanding of mechanical aspects as well as electrical design.
• Experience in design of auxiliary power systems in HVDC or substation environment or other area where high currents is involved.
• Prior experience in any of the other technical areas is beneficial but not a demand; personality and interest are of high importance.
• Positive, problem‑solving individual with the attitude that everything is possible to do in a team. Willingness to take responsibility and learn are key features.
• General interest in technology is needed to be a good fit for this position. The goal is to have cost‑effective solutions while fulfilling all requirements; common sense and understanding of practical aspects are beneficial.
• Ideally likes working in a multicultural environment and can express themselves written and spoken in English.
