Control System Performance Engineer

The opportunity involves serving as an engineering authority in Control System performance for projects/tenders related to Flexible A.C. Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology aligned with Power Quality Solutions (PQS) Business. In this role, you will play a crucial part in developing base solutions for existing control systems of various FACTS converters, as well as implementing new project-specific functionalities to enhance the control system dynamic performance of FACTS applications. Your responsibilities will include overseeing the control system performance from project initiation to commissioning, conducting PSCAD and RTDS simulation studies either individually or as part of a team to validate the control dynamic performance of FACTS solution, participating in verification tests during Factory Acceptance and Commissioning Tests, collaborating with cross-functional teams, providing technical support, and training colleagues throughout project delivery. Moreover, you will be involved in supporting tenders, delivery projects, and R&D activities by conducting control system dynamic performance studies, generating reports based on verification investigations, and presenting findings to customers. You will also be required to understand customer needs by reviewing specifications and engaging in customer meetings, coordinate with various disciplines involved in project and tender deliveries, maintain close communication with research and development activities, and demonstrate a strong commitment to learning and sharing knowledge regarding power system and control system of high-power converters for FACTS applications. Ensuring compliance with relevant external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines is a key aspect of this role, along with upholding Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity. To qualify for this position, you should possess an M.Tech. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, have expertise in power systems and control system analysis with a minimum of 8-10 years of experience in the industry. You should have a solid understanding of control theories of high-power electronic converters, proficiency in tools like PSCAD, RTDS, and Hidraw (or equivalent) for developing control systems, hands-on experience in developing complex control functions using platforms like Hitachi Energy's MACH control systems, and excellent communication skills in English. The ability to work independently and collaboratively, take ownership of tasks, adapt to a dynamic global environment, and demonstrate a strong aptitude for learning and development are essential for success in this role.
