Job description

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 the HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit located in Ludvika. The unit develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy’s HVDC technology transmits electricity over long distances and through submarine cables, enabling stability, grid cooperation, 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? If so, consider joining 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, and catastrophic events such as short circuits.

The Role Includes

• Continuous improvement of guidelines and processes related to the area.
• Model propagation of disturbances in R&D and projects to deepen knowledge and ensure the right level of mitigations are used.
• Document instructions and requirements from an EMC perspective to civil designers and builders in tenders and projects.
• Perform inspections to ensure proper installations at sites internationally.
• Work together with experts in RF emission simulations, grounding of very high currents, and electromagnetic field simulations.
• Participate in R&D activities to maintain competitiveness.
• Explore various technical fields within multiphysics areas in close cooperation with electrical and mechanical functions.

Your background

• Master of Science degree in electrical engineering, applied physics, power systems or similar.
• Experience in the EMC area or 3D HF simulations is a big merit.
• Interest or understanding of mechanical aspects as well as electrical design.
• Experience designing auxiliary power systems in HVDC or substation environments where high currents are involved.
• Prior experience in other technical areas is beneficial but not required; personality and interest are of high importance.
• Positive, problem‑solving individual willing to take responsibility and learn.
• General interest in technology to drive cost‑effective solutions while meeting requirements.
• Ability to work in a multicultural environment and express yourself in written and spoken English.
