Acoustic Engineer

The opportunity

Do you want to enable the green energy transition, and together with colleagues meet the world’s needs for sustainable, flexible and insecure energy?

In your work you will be part of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit that is a part of Hitachi Energy’s division. The main HVDC office is in Ludvika, but for the right candidate the Västerås office may be an option. The unit develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy’s developed HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances and for power transmission via submarine cables, thus enabling stability cooperation between grids, sea-based wind power and more.

Are you interested in combining acoustic analysis with high voltage (hundreds of kV) and high power (GW) topics together with common sense? You will be analysing noise propagation, suggesting and specifying mitigations on equipment and plant level and supporting the organization in the acoustic area as well as maintaining an overall plant perspective in large scale projects, all in a highly international environment. Then maybe you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!

How you’ll make an impact

Evaluating acoustics through calculations, modelling and 3D simulations of noise propagation.

Perform on site measurements to verify calculations and fulfillment of requirements

You will be working in a multidisciplinary technical environment where mechanical, climate and electrical considerations are necessary as well as cost and quality.

Convert theoretical results into reality in actual design suggestions in cooperation with equipment and civil construction responsible.

Be part of constant improvement activities to make sure we stay competitive also for the future.

Interpret requirements and available data to evaluate best way forward from financial and technical point of view.

Support our business units in the acoustic area.
