United Kingdom Hitachi Energy Full time

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.

As a control & protection software design engineer at Hitachi Energy, you will be a part of a department which is responsible for automation systems and digital real-time control of the plants and transmissions. This is a hybrid working role based in our Glasgow offices, combined with working your home-office.

Your responsibilities

  • You will be part of all phases of delivery, which includes design, maintenance, testing, integration, verification, and deployment of the HVDC control & protection application functions needed for safe and reliable operations of plants and transmission links.
  • The position also includes documentation and customer trainings.
  • Opportunity to travel internationally for long and short assignments.
  • You are living Hitachi Energy´s core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
  • Sense of responsibility, and the capability of planning and organizing your daily work and a problem solver who takes initiatives to solve challenges.

Your background

  • You hold a Bachelor or Master’s degree within the relevant technical area.
  • You have previous experience working with HVDC projects.
  • Experience in design and testing of control system.
  • You have a strong interest or skills within industrial application development and programming.
  • As you will be a part of a global business, fluency in English is required, written and spoken alike.
  • Experience or strong interest in digital technology, signal processing and control systems design is seen as an advantage.
  • Experience from the power system industry - for example power system control and protection systems and automation, simulation and modelling procedures (real-time or offline) is also seen as an advantage in the role.
