Job Description

This pivotal role involves the development of innovative power converters and power electronics-based equipment designs for HVDC transmission, DC grid architectures, and FACTS, ensuring optimal integration with the control and the broader power system. The successful candidate will report to the Valve Converter Electrical Team Leader and collaborate with the power electronics valves product manager and world-class experts within the HVDC converter valve team to deliver innovative converter valve products that positively impact the business.

The role gives an excellent opportunity for a motivated candidate to innovate, expand their design skill and personal development within a globally recognized expert team in HVDC and FACTS. The candidate will play a major role in technical decisions and design and innovation phases. It also involves internal interactions with other HVDC engineering functions and other businesses, but also external interactions with HVDC customers, 3rd party companies such as test laboratories, standard committees, universities and so on.

Responsibilities:

• Design, model, and analyze converter topologies (VSC, MMC) and components.

• Validate performance through simulations, prototyping, and testing.

• Develop requirement, design, and test specifications; ensure compliance with standards.

• Lead innovation in HVDC/FACTS products; document results via patents and publications.

• Mentor engineers; manage development activities and participate in design reviews.

• Support control and system design teams for integrated solutions.

• Develop sizing and design tools; ensure EMI compliance and robust converter design.

• Engage with customers, test labs, universities, and standard committees.
