**Job Description:**

Do you want to enable green energy transition, and together with colleagues
build customized embedded control systems consisting of both software and
hardware to meet our customers’ and the world’s needs for sustainable energy?

We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, solutions
for energy transfer with direct current at high voltages, is a long-term
sustainable solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long
distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. In addition
to energy transfer, HVDC technology 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 a part of a department which is responsible for automation
systems and digital real-time control of the plants and transmissions. The
need for this expertise is increasing and we are therefore looking for both
freshly graduated students and senior engineers to join our team.

Are you ready to contribute to an ultra-relevant industry to save the planet?
Do not hesitate to send your application. We appreciate potential and personal
commitment equal to experience. We offer you an exciting and stimulating work
environment, where you become an important team player collaborating to
deliver our world-class technology and developing the best HVDC control for
our customers.
