R&D HW Electronics Engineer in HVDC

You will contribute significantly to successful results in the heart of HVDC station: Modular Advanced Control for HVDC (MACH™). That control system is designed to run 24/7 for thirty years or more, handling for all control and protection functions. Development in Krakow covers High-Speed digital control boards, I/O Measurements systems and Power Electronics control & protection circuits. As a part of global R&D organization you will cooperate on daily bases with colleagues from MACH™ teams in Sweden and India, all working under same Agile framework (SAFe), developing End-to-End solutions integrating electronic hardware, FPGA, and embedded software. 

• You will join HW Electronics team lead by Yuriy Puchkov, applying your knowledge and skills in technology and/or product development.
• You will see how your personal efforts converted to real products, impacting evolution of electrical grids, making it more green, reliable, and resilient.
• You will work in comfortable office with great transport communication (central station), with modern equipment in our brand-new on-site laboratory area.
• Our organization will support your competence development, knowledge sharing, work-life balance, harmony of diversity.

• Participate in the full lifecycle of hardware platform for HVDC Control & Protection system, from idea, requirements, simulations, prototyping, testing up to release & sustaining production. 
• Take care of robust design, including analogue/digital electronics, high speed, optoelectronics, gate drivers, power electronic, etc. 
• Do conceptual design of hardware platform based on initial requirements, influence requirements based on your knowledge and experience. 
• Work with simulations, parts selection, schematics, and layout. 
• Do prototyping, validating, and testing. Care of testing infrastructure and environment. 
• Prepare and manage technical documentation. 
• Participate in technical reviews and project planning. 

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. 

• At least Master/bachelor’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
• At least 2 years’ hardware design professional experience of analogue and digital circuits.
• Practical knowledge of hardware design process and tools (e.g. SPICE, Altium, PADS, Zuken CADSTAR…).
