EMC engineer
Do you want to enable the green energy transition, and together with colleagues meet the world’s needs for sustainable, flexible and secure energy? In your work you will be part of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit that is a part of Hitachi Energy’s division and is located in Ludvika. The unit develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy’s developed HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances and for power transmission via submarine cables, thus enabling stability, cooperation between grids, sea-based wind power and more. Are you interested in working in the EMC domain in a challenging electromagnetic environment, where signal cables, electronics and many other systems meet high voltages and currents? Do you want to help ensure that the system maintains full functionality during fast transients with very high voltages? Does a department working to bridge mechanical and electrical aspects of the design by performing electro-mechanical studies with an overall system perspective in large scale projects, all in a highly international environment sound interesting? Then maybe you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!
How You’ll Make An Impact
You use your practical EMC experience to ensure proper design and controlled performance during normal use, fast switching of a high voltage-high current system as well as during catastrophic events such as short circuits and the like.
The Role Includes
- Continuous improvement of guidelines and processes related to your area
- Documenting strategies and overall requirements from an EMC perspective in tenders, projects and R&D projects
- Performing inspections to ensure proper installations at our sites internationally
- Work together with experts in areas like RF emission simulations and studies, grounding of very high currents and electro-magnetic field simulations
- Being part of R&D activities to make sure we stay competitive also for the future
- In this role you will have a lot of opportunities to explore various technical fields
The department is active in several multi-physics areas in close cooperation with both electrical and mechanical functions.
Your background
We are looking for a Master of Science degree in an electrical field, applied physics, power systems or similar.
- Experience from practical work with EMC is a big merit. I.e. Standards, mitigations, design for EMC, shielding philosophies, cable design etc.
- You have a keen interest in or understanding of mechanical aspects as well as electrical design.
- Experience in design of auxiliary power systems in HVDC or substation environment or other areas where high currents are involved (kA)
- Prior experience in any of the other technical areas mentioned above is beneficial but not a demand, your personality and interest are of high importance.
As a person
You are a positive, problem-solving individual with the attitude that everything is possible.
