Senior R&D Engineer- Power Quality

• To research and develop the control philosophy for new and evolving technologies / to improve the control performance of any existing technologies in power quality domain. 
• To implement, verify & validate the developed control and protection logic in MACH control system thereby creating a rigorously tested, stable baseline solution which later can be tailored to meet specific customers’ requirements.  
• To perform simulation of control logics and verification on control logics in software in loop environment (with the help of tools including but not limited to MATLAB scripts, MATLAB Simulink and PSCAD)  
• To perform validation testing of the whole FACTS system in a hardware in loop environment with real time digital simulator setup. (ex: RTDS interfaced with MACH system) 
• Traveling sites to support various R&D activities or troubleshooting ongoing FACTS projects. 
• To be responsible for the deliverables assigned in terms of quality, on time delivery and proactive communication of progress to the R&D project management, work-stream lead and other stakeholders. 
• Responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
• Living with Hitachi Energy’s core values safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business. 

• Required ME Power Systems / ME Power Electronics with 0-3 years of Experience.
• Any experience or expertise in understanding / modelling of voltage sourced converters (VSC) for HVDC, FACTS is an added advantage or in simulation tools such as EMTDC / PSCAD, PSS/E, RTDS and MATLAB are an added advantage.  
• Must have strong understanding of various power system concepts including knowledge of performing power system studies like load flow, short circuit, transient stability and switching transients for utility / industrial systems.  
• Must have good understanding of control design concepts of various controllers and power electronics application in power system (HV/EHV levels).  
• Good knowledge of Power Systems equipment and their purpose. Example, Power Transformers, Capacitors, Reactors, Instrument Transformer and measuring equipment, Circuit Breakers, Disconnectors and Surge Arrestors.
