Scientist - Reliability Engineering (f/m/d)

The Opportunity

Empower the Future with Hitachi Energy!

Join us as a Scientist in Reliability Engineering and become part of a passionate, dynamic, and innovative team driving the energy transition. We are seeking a skilled and motivated scientist to strengthen our research in the reliability of power grid components and systems. In this role, you will bridge theory and application-developing and validating cutting-edge methods and technologies that support a more sustainable energy future.

How you'll make an impact

• Drive innovation in reliability analysis, reliability improvement, and prognostics & health management for power grid components and systems
• Apply advanced techniques by combining reliability engineering, physics-of-failure insights, data analysis, mathematical modelling, and system tools to enhance the reliability of mission-critical equipment
• Collaborate globally with researchers and engineers across Hitachi Energy Research and business units to solve real-world challenges and identify opportunities for improvement
• Build strong networks within the company and with external partners, including universities, start-ups, and vendors
• Share your knowledge through scientific publications, patent applications, and technical reports

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Data Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Solid experience in one or more of the following areas is required: statistical and probabilistic modelling (e.g., Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo simulations), mathematical modelling and simulation (e.g., Markov chains, Poisson processes, Petri nets), data science and machine learning
• Familiarity with reliability engineering methods or condition health monitoring in domains such as mechanical or electronics is a strong plus
• Proven track record of scientific publications in top-tier journals and conferences
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken
