Job Description:

The Electrical Valve Design department is part of HVDC Products at Hitachi Energy in Ludvika. We are globally responsible for the electrical design and technical requirements of semiconductor-based HVDC and SVC valves, as well as advanced current measurement solutions for HVDC applications.

HVDC valves are critical components used to convert AC to DC (and vice versa), enabling long-distance and high-capacity power transmission. SVC valves are used to support and stabilize AC power systems. In addition, we design digital optical instrument transformers—state-of-the-art, compact current measurement devices tailored for HVDC systems. These are used across the HVDC system to protect valves against overcurrent and earth faults, as well as for harmonic measurement and filter supervision.

Our department in Sweden consists of approximately 45 highly skilled engineers and managers, and we work in close collaboration with our design teams in India and China. Beyond project and tender execution, we play a key role in product development, lifecycle management, and technical support for upgrades and service projects.

Your responsibilities

  • Develop electrical design documentation for projects and tenders within HVDC and FACTS
  • Review customer specifications and identify risks, deviations, and opportunities
  • Perform calculations related to electrical stress, thermal performance, and losses
  • Define control and protection requirements for semiconductor valves
  • Perform valve simulations and analyze results
  • Define test requirements according to internal and external standards
  • Perform failure investigations and ensure safety in design
  • Lead design reviews, technical forums, and customer trainings
  • Collaborate closely with colleagues across disciplines and locations

Your background

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Power Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering Physics, or equivalent
  • Previous experience in a similar technical field is considered an advantage
  • Good knowledge of engineering tools such as PSCAD, MATLAB, and Mathcad
  • A strong interest in electrical and electronics engineering, combined with a positive and curious mindset
  • You are an open-minded team player who enjoys problem-solving and continuous learning
  • Fluency in English is required

What we offer

  • Collective agreement and secure employment conditions
  • Flexible working hours
  • Health care and wellness allowance
  • Excellent career opportunities within Hitachi Energy in Sweden and globally
  • Dedicated mentor to support you during onboarding
  • Continuous training and development opportunities
