Control Engineer - C&P HVDC

Responsibilities

As a Controls Engineer, you will contribute to developing the control system from the earliest design stages through final validation. Your responsibilities include defining control system specifications, parameterizing interfaces with other systems, and implementing control logic in MATLAB/SIMULINK based on project and customer requirements.

You will also support loading compiled control software onto target hardware and conduct hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing to verify system performance. The role focuses on higher‑level HVDC controls, with knowledge of converter‑level controls considered an advantage. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team including specialists in HMI, switchyard control, and real‑time simulation and engage directly with customers as we help shape the next generation of the electrical grid.
