The Opportunity
Join our HVDC R&D team at Hitachi Energy and help pioneer the future of energy transmission. We are now looking for a R&D Senior Engineer to contribute to the development of advanced control strategies for HVDC systems, including Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) and Line Commutated Converter (LCC) technologies. This is a unique opportunity to work in a global, collaborative environment focused on innovation and technical excellence.
In this role, you will design and optimize control algorithms for MMC- and LCC-based HVDC systems, including multiterminal HVDC (MTDC) configurations. You will also perform small-signal stability analysis, harmonic studies, and transient simulations to ensure robust and reliable system performance. A key part of your responsibilities will be to lead system-level dynamic performance evaluations and drive continuous improvements in control strategies. Additionally, you will mentor junior engineers and actively contribute to strategic technology roadmaps, helping shape the future direction of HVDC control systems and power electronics design.
