Control Power Electronics Engineer

Description

Your responsibilities:

• You are responsible for the dynamic modeling, algorithm design, and controller implementation of switching power converters used in a wide range of ac and dc products.
• You are expected to perform control system design through all stages starting with topology discussions, concept stage, modeling, implementation, and validation.
• Analysis, design and implementation of control systems high-power, high-frequency power converters.
• Develop and utilize computer simulations (Matlab/Simulink, PLECS) to investigate new algorithms, and abnormal events.
• Be part of design process starting from idea generation, simulation, control design, prototyping and verification of new converter products.
• Support a fast, iterative design process in a cross-functional, dedicated team. Use fast prototyping and lab mockups to close learning loops and achieve results quickly.
• Working in modern laboratories; bringing up prototypes; evaluating designs limits. 
• We offer an exciting job in an international environment where you will get great possibilities to develop further within Hitachi Energy.
• 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.
