R&D electrical engineer

The Opporutnity

As new R&D Electrical Engineer, you will join our Global Multi-Physic Simulation (GLOMUS) network team in the Technology Center of HITACHI Energy.

You will be part of a group of key people with specific expertise in the fields of electrical, structural, acoustic, thermo-mechanic and fluid-dynamics analyses, simulation and testing.

As part of our global R&D community including Technology Centers and Research Centers worldwide, you will contribute to support all factories in the PG Dry, Traction and Distribution Transformers on innovative and challenging research projects.

You will focus on developing new technologies and products, optimizing existing ones and on supporting different engineering offices around the world.

How you will make an impact

• Study of current state of art in the field of 2D and 3D simulation of transformers
• Analysis of performance of different parameters of dry transformers by means of 2D and 3D electromagnetic FEM calculations
• Develop new automations for the assessment of products through electromagnetic simulations coupled with structural, thermomechanical and acoustic simulations
• Run feasibility studies, develop new technical concepts, design new products and simulate their expected performances
• Organize prototyping and testing activities to validate new technologies/products
• Lead product and technology development projects in the field of Dry, Traction and Oil Distribution Transformer, delivering results on time and on budget at agreed scope and quality
• Support the transfer of technology and knowledge from R&D to engineering department by writing design rules, preparing trainings and collaborating with design tools team
• Provide technical support to other departments when needed (engineering, product management, marketing and sales etc.)
• Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background

• MSc + 1 years of experience in Electrical Engineering field
• PhD in Electrical Engineering is preferred
• Existing work experience in Electrical Engineering with particular focus on transformer design
• Advanced knowledge of transformer design and prediction of relevant performance such as leakage fields, stray losses, no-load losses, short-circuit forces, mutual inductances, and similar
• Experience in the finite element analysis (ANSYS, COMSOL, FEM electromagnetic simulation tool)
• Knowledge of at least one of the following programming languages ( Python, Matlab, C#)
• Experience in electric testing of transformers
• Project management skills
• Action and result oriented mindset
• Innovation spirit, "out of the box" thinking
