HVDC technology is a core enabler of the global energy transition, using advanced converters to efficiently transmit power from offshore wind parks to onshore grids. We are seeking motivated individuals who want to work with cutting‐edge HVDC systems and make a real impact in building a sustainable electrical future.
As a Controls Engineer, you will contribute to developing the control system from the earliest design stages through final validation. Your responsibilities include:
- Defining control system specifications
- Parameterizing interfaces with other systems
- Implementing control logic in MATLAB/SIMULINK based on project and customer requirements
You will also support loading compiled control software onto target hardware and conduct hardware‐in‐the‐loop testing to verify system performance. The role focuses on higher‐level HVDC controls, with knowledge of converter‐level controls considered an advantage. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team including specialists in HMI, switchyard control, and real‐time simulation and engage directly with customers as we help shape the next generation of the electrical grid.
How You'll Make an Impact
- Develop control systems for HVDC converter systems
- Contribute to clarifying technical requirements within project teams and in collaboration with customers
- Work closely with a dedicated team to ensure successful project development
