Control​/Cyber Engineer

The Opportunity

In this role, you will support the development of control solutions for Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and High Voltage DC (HVDC) projects within Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business. You will help develop interface and communication hardware and software solutions used in installations, while contributing to drawings, site layouts, PC and network configuration, design reviews, documentation, factory acceptance testing, and site commissioning.

Your work will connect engineering development with field execution, helping projects move from design through delivery and startup. During your first year, you will be based in Sweden as part of the engineering team developing HVDC controls for project deliverables, then follow the project to site to support construction and commissioning. By supporting control development, communication networks, cybersecurity processes, and safe project execution, you will contribute to the reliability, safety, and performance of critical grid infrastructure while building hands-on experience in advanced power transmission applications.

• Develop interface and communication hardware and software solutions for FACTS and HVDC installations.
• Create drawings that support layouts and site designs.
• Configure PCs from both an operating system and network perspective.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to project development activities.
