The opportunity

Do you want to enable green energy transition, and together with colleagues build customized embedded control and protection systems consisting of both software and hardware to meet our customers' and the world's needs for a sustainable, flexible, and secure energy future?

We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, solutions for energy transfer with direct current at high voltages, is a long-term sustainable solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. In addition to energy transfer, HVDC technology also alleviates electricity quality problems and can contribute to the stabilization of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long-distance underwater transmissions, direct current is the only realistic energy transmission alternative.

In this role as a Software Design Engineer at Hitachi Energy you will be a part of a Global HVDC Control & Protection Software team. Our team is responsible for Protection, we have interfaces towards other domains within Control & Protection, IT/OT, Hardware and Operations.

The need for expertise in our area is increasing and we are therefore looking for both freshly graduated students and senior engineers to join our team.
