Senior Electrical Design Development Power Electronics Engineer

The opportunity

Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all.

Hitachi Energy's Grid Integration business unit has delivered more than 4,000 projects over the last 15 years. Our Grid Integration portfolio spans a wide range of transmission and substation applications, which facilitate reliable and efficient system integration of the future digital electric network with minimum environmental impact.

We incorporate the integrated systems, solutions and services of our business' DC and AC fields, including HVDC, Substations, FACTS, Grid and Power Quality solutions such as offshore wind connections, and Semiconductors. We offer Power Consulting for key segments in the energy system, such as renewables, transmission distribution and as well as e-transportation solutions.

• You will conceptualize, develop high power electronic module: by integrating high power semiconductor and other key power electronics and mechanics components, into a safe and reliable solution based on applications requirement.
• You will perform semiconductor calculations and simulations to determine voltage stresses and losses in the power electronic module, verify with hands-on high-power testing in our test laboratories and optimize the semiconductor characteristics and specification based on power electronic module and its applications requirement.
• You will design and specify key components belong to power electronic module such as DC capacitor, bypass switch, heatsinks, busbars, snubber resistor characteristics to fulfill voltage and current stress, insulation, heat dissipate, electro-magnetic force, control and protection requirements and to verify with simulation, calculation and testing.
• You will be corporate with system input, collaborate with suppliers, take responsibility for the design from ideation phase through concept, detail design to final test and verification.
• You will perform technical Lead role in R&D projects: Connects and coordinates different technology areas to enable creating solutions to emerging business need. Bridges different perspectives in highly complex and challenging situations, thus achieving common agreement. Clearly expresses complex concepts and information in writing and/or verbally and is easily understood. Assesses and mitigates the risk involved when introducing new technical/scientific solutions.
