Control System Performance Engineer

The Opportunity

As a Control System Performance Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the dynamic performance of FACTS control systems throughout the entire delivery lifecycle. In this role, you will translate customer requirements and grid-code specifications into well-tuned, verified, and documented control behavior. You will work with advanced EMT and HIL simulations and collaborate closely with project teams, R&D, and customers to secure robust system performance.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies in high-power converter control systems and contribute directly to the stability and reliability of power grids worldwide.

How you'll make an impact

• Ensure the control system's dynamic performance from early design stages through FAT and site commissioning.
• Develop, tune, and verify control functions using Virtual MACH models; perform performance verification with PSCAD and RTDS/RSCAD.
• Conduct Control Performance Simulation Studies and support dynamic performance-related studies during PSCAD simulations, Factory Acceptance Tests, and commissioning activities.
• Analyze customer requirements, grid codes, and technical specifications; translate them into verification cases and acceptance criteria.
• Present performance results to internal stakeholders and customers; investigate root causes of deviations and drive mitigation actions.
• Collaborate closely with Control Application, System Studies, System Design, and R&D teams to ensure high-quality deliveries.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship within the team, contributing to competence development and continuous knowledge sharing.

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5-8 years' experience in power-converter control and EMT simulations (PSCAD, RTDS/RSCAD).
• Strong understanding of control theory for high-power electronic converters.
• Experience from customer-facing engineering environments.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• Experience with MACH™/HiDraw development (a merit).
