Job Opportunity

We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is a long‑term sustainable solution. It is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. HVDC also alleviates electricity quality problems and can contribute to the stabilization of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long‑distance underwater transmissions, direct current is the only realistic energy transmission alternative.

In this role as a Control & Protection Software Design Engineer at Hitachi Energy, you will be part of a department responsible for automation systems and digital real‑time control of plants and transmission lines. The need for this expertise is increasing, so we look for both freshly graduated students and senior engineers.
