The opportunity
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 control & protection software design engineer at Hitachi Energy, you will be part of a department responsible for automation systems and digital real-time control of plants and transmissions. The need for this expertise is increasing, and we are therefore looking for both newly graduated students and senior engineers to join our team.
Are you ready to contribute to an ultra-relevant industry to save the planet? Do not hesitate to send your application. We value potential and personal commitment equally with experience. We offer you an exciting and stimulating work environment where you become an important team player collaborating to deliver our world-class technology and developing the best HVDC control for our customers.
