Senior R&D Hardware Electronics Engineer in HVDC

The Opportunity

We are now looking for passionate individuals to join our growing team at the Hitachi Energy Technology Center in Krakow. You will contribute to the heart of HVDC stations: the Modular Advanced Control for HVDC (MACH™) system - a control system designed to operate 24/7 for over thirty years, managing all control and protection functions.

As part of our global R&D organization, you will collaborate daily with MACH™ teams in Sweden and India, working within the same Agile framework (SAFe) to develop end-to-end solutions that integrate electronic hardware, FPGA, and embedded software.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Participate in the full lifecycle of hardware platforms for HVDC Control & Protection systems - from concept, requirements, simulations, prototyping, and testing to release and production support.

• Design robust analogue/digital electronics, including high-speed circuits, optoelectronics, gate drivers, and power electronics.

• Create conceptual designs based on initial requirements and influence technology choices with your expertise.

• Work with simulations, component selection, schematics, and PCB layout.

• Prototype, verify, and validate designs; manage test infrastructure and setups.

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation.
