The opportunity

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Design, conduct, and supervise experiments to test scientific theories to discover/validate properties of materials (polymers, fluids, etc.) and processes (drying, impregnation, sealing, etc.).
• Develop scientific theories and mathematical models to explain physical phenomena like vibrations, sound, acoustics, thermal, heat flow and predict future behavior.
• Analyze and interpret large amounts of data using complex mathematical calculations, computer simulations, and through use of software like Python or MATLAB.
• Plan, perform and review calculation/simulations and qualification tests on various types of parts and processes of capacitor products.
• Participate constructively in working teams, share own technical/scientific knowledge in own projects and supports colleagues in applying processes and tools to ensure timely and high-quality results.
• Shows solid documentation skills and writes technical reports, project, and product documents independently, including doing feasibility studies as baseline for decision making.
• Conduct quality case root cause analysis with solid technical knowledge, conduct reliability studies.
• Conduct/participate in design reviews, RCA, DFMEA/DFM/DFA, perform prototyping & testing of capacitor. Prepare design documentation (Development report, analysis report, assembly & test instruction, test specification, etc.).
• Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
• 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
