R&D Engineer - Testing - Electronics Hardware

At Hitachi Energy our purpose is advancing a sustainable​ energy future for all. We bring power to our homes, schools, hospitals and factories. Join us and work with fantastic people, while learning and developing yourself on projects that have a real impact to our communities and society. Bring your passion, bring your energy, and be part of a global team that appreciates a simple truth: Diversity + Collaboration = Great Innovation

• Our R&D engineers and scientists develop breakthrough technologies that change the way the world works, and industries do business. We constantly push the limits of convention, while retaining our focus on delivering quality products and solutions to our customers.
• Over 60 years ago, Hitachi Energy introduced a new way of transmitting electricity across long distances with minimum losses – High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC). HVDC technology can now deliver up to 12 gigawatts of power at voltage levels of up to 1100 kV, covering distances of more than 3,000 kilometers.
• You will contribute significantly to successful results in the heart of HVDC station: Modular Advanced Control for High performance (MACH™). The MACH™ control system provides unequalled calculation capacity and enables a high degree of integration and handling for all control and protection functions. Moreover, MACH™ control provides advanced fault registration and remote control functions. The system is designed to run 24/7 for thirty years or more, allowing the HVDC system to be controlled and protected in the most reliable way throughout its lifetime.
• As a part of global R&D organization you will cooperate on daily bases with colleagues from MACH teams in Sweden and India. Development in Krakow covers High-Speed digital control boards, I/O Measurements systems and Power Electronics control & protection circuits. Working under Agile framework you will develop further your skills and contribute into development of next generations of MACH™ system. You are going to be part of team led by Yuriy Puchkov, you will utilize your knowledge and skills in technology and/or product development.

• You will be part of our R&D team in Hitachi Energy Technology Center. Our cross-functional international SAFe/Agile teams are developing End-to-End solutions integrating electronic hardware, FPGA and embedded software in close collaboration with the global organization. Now we are looking for enthusiasts who would like to strengthen our HVDC Control & Protection system team.
• Participate in the full lifecycle of hardware platform, from idea, requirements, prototyping, integration Embedded SW and FPGA solution with HW device, testing up to release & ensuring sustaining and high-quality production
• You are going to take care of system integrity of products, working close with adjacent teams (software and FPGA engineers, product verification engineers, etc)
• Contributing to testability of designs, influence requirements based on your experience
• Participation in simulations, schematics and layout reviews, product release process
• Prototyping, validation and testing of products, development and support of local verification infrastructure and setups
• Preparing and managing technical documentation
• Cooperation with international teams under Agile/SAFe methodology
• You will work in a future-oriented industry full of interesting projects and challenges.
• Living Hitachi 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.
