System Verification Engineer
The opportunity
Join our expert team at Hitachi Energy and help shape the future of energy transmission. As a System Verification Engineer, you'll work with cutting-edge embedded systems and contribute to the development of our MACH™ control system - the heart of HVDC stations that power long-distance electricity transmission with minimal loss.

Today, HVDC systems can deliver up to 12 gigawatts of power at voltages reaching 1,100 kV, spanning distances of over 3,000 kilometers - making it one of the most efficient solutions for global energy transfer.
At the core of every HVDC station lies the Modular Advanced Control for HVDC (MACH™) system - a highly sophisticated control and protection platform. MACH™ offers exceptional computational power and seamless integration of all control functions. It features advanced fault registration, remote control capabilities, and is engineered to operate 24/7 for over 30 years, ensuring unmatched reliability throughout the system's lifetime.
As a System Verification Engineer, you'll play a key role in the continued success of MACH™, contributing to its evolution and helping maintain its position as a global benchmark in HVDC control systems.
