Research Scientist - Complex Systems Modelling for Reliability (f/m/d)

The opportunity 

At Hitachi Energy Research, we are shaping the energy systems of tomorrow. As the power grid evolves into a complex, digital “system of systems” integrating renewable energy, power electronics, and distributed assets, ensuring long-term reliability and availability becomes a central challenge.

We are looking for a Scientist in Reliability Modelling to drive innovation in system-level reliability modelling and lifecycle optimization of power grid components and system, large-scale power grid infrastructures, including emerging application in challenging environments to help development of sustainable energy sources and their integration to the power grid of the future.

How you’ll make an impact
 

  • System-Level Reliability Modelling Innovation: Drive the translation of innovative ideas advanced methodologies for reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) modelling integrating single-asset physical knowledge into modelling to represent interdependencies, redundancy, and system-of-systems behavior
  • Data-driven and Physics based Decision Support: Contribute to methodologies such as Reliability-Centered Maintenance and reliability twin concepts for decision-making under uncertainty with far reaching impact on GW level power systems over decades of operation
  • Scientific Leadership Collaborate with a global and interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers across research and business units to identify, shape, and solve impactful industrial challenges
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build relationships within the company and actively share your knowledge and expertise. Interact with local and global external partners including universities, technologies and products suppliers
  • Scientific Communication & Innovation: Disseminate your results in scientific publications, patent applications, and technical reports

  

Your background 
 

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Reliability Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field
  • Systems thinker capable of bridging component-level physics and system-level performance. Strong expertise in system-level reliability modelling (RAMS, RBD, FTA, Monte Carlo, stochastic modelling)
  • Experience with complex engineering systems (energy, aerospace, automotive, or similar high-reliability domains). Including knowledge of maintenance strategies and lifecycle optimization for repairable systems
  • Familiarity with power grid technologies (HVDC, substations, converters) is an advantage but not strictly required
  • Proven track record at top scientific conferences and journal publications
  • Excellent communication skills in English, team player attitude, initiative and creativity
