The Opportunity:
Over 60 years ago, Hitachi Energy introduced a new way of transmitting electricity across long distances with minimum losses – High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC). We can now deliver up to 12 gigawatts of power at voltage levels of up to 1100 kV, covering distances of more than 3,000 kilometers. Also, HVDC is key enabler for integrating renewable sources like offshore wind farms in continental power grid. Our R&D engineers and scientists develop breakthrough technologies that change the way the world works, and industries do business. Now we are looking for enthusiasts who would like to strengthen our team in Hitachi Energy Technology Center in Krakow, contributing to the heart of HVDC station: Modular Advanced Control for HVDC (MACH™).

That control system is designed to run 24/7 for thirty years or more, handling for all control and protection functions. Development in Krakow covers High-Speed digital control boards, I/O Measurements systems and Power Electronics control & protection circuits. As a part of global R&D organization you will cooperate on daily bases with colleagues from MACH™ teams in Sweden and India, developing End-to-End Solutions integrating electronic hardware, FPGA, and embedded software.

You will join R&D Team led by Mateusz Guzik, applying your knowledge and skills in technology and/or product development.

You will see how your personal efforts convert to real products, impacting evolution of electrical grids, making it more green, reliable, and resilient.
You will work in comfortable office with great transport communication (near central station), with modern equipment in our brand-new on-site laboratory area.
Our organization will support your competence development, knowledge sharing, work-life balance, harmony of diversity.
Our teammates are open-minded, friendly, and working in good spirit.

How you'll make an impact:

Participate in the full lifecycle of hardware platform for HVDC Control & Protection system, from idea, requirements, simulations, prototyping, testing up to release & sustaining production.
Take care of robust design, including analogue/digital electronics, high speed, optoelectronics, gate drivers, power electronic, etc.
Do conceptual design of hardware platform based on initial requirements, influence technology based on your knowledge and experience.
Work with simulations, parts selection, schematics, and layout.
Do prototyping, validating, and testing. Take care of testing infrastructure and environment.
Prepare and manage technical documentation.
Participate in technical reviews and project planning.
Living Hitachi Energy’s core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background:

At least Master/Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering or related field.
At least 5 years of professional circuit board design experience.
Practical knowledge of hardware electronics design process and tools (e.g. SPICE, Altium, PADS, Zuken CADSTAR).
Experience with laboratory test and measurement equipment and circuit boards testing, reworking.
A high level of self-motivation, curiosity, and desire to learn about new technologies.
A collaborative, solutions-oriented approach, and good communication skills.
Awareness of relevant industry standards and methodology.
English language – at least Intermediate / B2 / Technical communication.

It would be advantage to have experience:

with high-speed electronics circuits and interfaces (e.g. FPGA, CPUs, Memories, Backplanes),
with PCB layout design and PCBA manufacturing with Power Electronics (gate drivers, power supplies),
with fiber optics communication,
in EMC, Signal Integrity, Power Integrity,
in FPGA design or Embedded programming,
in component and device reliability, DFMEA.

We are committed to full transparency and compliance with all legal requirements, ensuring that every candidate knows exactly what to expect at each stage of the recruitment process. Once the process is successfully completed, we will share detailed information about financial conditions and benefits with the selected candidate. Before signing the employment contract, you will receive all remaining details of the offer, giving you the time and space to review everything carefully.
