R&D Engineer - System

Description

General information: You as R&D Engineer - System will be part of Hitachi Energy business-based Bangalore, you will be responsible for our growing R&D team, we are looking for developing system and protection concepts for new charging solutions in the field of e-Mobility, such as eBus flash-charging, large EV depots/terminals and battery-powered trains. Responsibilities: Contributing to R&D projects from the initial concept stage to final product rollout You will be responsible for the overall electrical system including Selection of appropriate ratings (power, voltage, current) of the equipment Selection of on-board battery energy and voltage levels or agreeing these with other partners, e.g., bus OEMs Designing the overall charging system based on an understanding of the dependence on the above You will be responsible for the control elements of e-mobility charging solutions including overall control architecture, hardware selection, programming and testing. Developing and assess protection concepts for low voltage - low power charger (100kW 600V DC) Developing and assess protection concepts for high power chargers (1500kW 1500V DC) Developing system simulations for grid code compliance (THDi, THDu, power factor, DC ripple etc.) System design, SLD & MLD (single- and multi-lines diagrams), BOM (bill of materials) Write tutorial, guidelines, test procedures, report templates for engineering and commissioning engineers Write technical specifications for internal and external suppliers Benchmark and cost evaluation Audit, assessment of external partners, including power electronic converter part Lab testing (heat-run, EMC, noise, electrical endurance), official type tests certification, factory acceptance tests, site acceptance tests, commissioning, end-user training at a domestic and international level Supporting customer project tendering and execution activities Your background: Ph.D/Masters in on Power Electronics and Control Industrial experience with low voltage power converters is an advantage Industrial experience with control software (PLC programming, SCADA, Codesys, WEB- HMI, remote access) is an advantage Proficiency in the use of simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or PSCAD. Experience with low voltage and medium voltage network distribution would be an advantage Experience with DC network & Energy Storage Systems (battery, supercaps, BMS) would be an advantage Experience with fieldbus communication CANbus SAE-J19139 would be an advantage Experience with EV charger and CCS2 protocol would be an advantage Experience in eRoom, outdoor panel, cooling design, and noise attenuation would be an advantage Team spirit with the capacity to work independently, complemented by a quick intellect and well-developed analytical skills Fluent command of English, both written and spoken Experience working in an Agile development team would be preferred Experience in working with IEC standard, ANSI etc.
