Power System Analysis and Solution Algorithms Engineer

The opportunity

We are looking for a passionate and proficient industrial specialist with expertise in power system analysis/ management and high-level programming. In an inter-disciplinary environment, you will drive cutting-edge innovation for different complex systems in power grid applications. Join our dynamic and motivated team to contribute to a sustainable energy future for all.

How you'll make an impact

• You create impact:  Together with your team design innovative approaches for grid operation and deliver them as robust software modules

• You investigate:  Translate real power‑system problems into rigorous models and final solutions for the customers

• You take initiative:  Collaborate with a global and inter-disciplinary team of researchers and engineers in Hitachi Energy to drive the development from concept to production

• You connect:  Build relationships within the company and actively share your knowledge and expertise. Interact with local and global external partners including universities, start-ups, and vendors to integrate diverse perspectives and stakeholder inputs

• You communicate:  Be able to clearly communicate concepts to software developers, implementation engineering teams and customers. Produce clear design docs and developer-facing examples/ notebooks that enable reuse.

Your background

• Master Electrical/Power Systems Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Master’s degree with equivalent industry experience

• Proven expertise in modelling and steady-state analyses of power grids demonstrated hands-on expertise applying these methods in software development.

• Knowledge in mathematical optimization applied to power systems, and modern numerical solvers is strongly desired (e.g., MIP/NLP, stochastic; tools such as Gurobi, CPLEX, Ipopt). Experience with machine learning and/or artificial intelligence technologies is a plus

• Proficiency in C#, C++, Rust or a similar high-level programming language is required; Python and/or Matlab for analytics and fast prototyping are a plus.

• Experience building state-of-the-art software engineering techniques (version control, code reviews, testing, CI/CD) and integrating solution algorithms into applications are beneficial (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). High performance computing skills such as parallel/distributed computing, GPU, OpenMP or MPI would be beneficial

• Excellent communication skills in English, team player attitude, initiative and creativity
