Dynamic/Seismic 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 secure 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 and is located in Ludvika. 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 dynamic analysis with high voltage (hundreds of kV) and high power (GW) topics together with common sense, performing dynamic simulations 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

Perform studies and Finite Element simulations of stress from dynamic events during tenders and project execution. The event includes seismic events as well as sea transport and floating platforms.

You will be working in a multidisciplinary technical environment where mechanical and electrical considerations are necessary.

Convert theoretical results into reality in actual design suggestions in cooperation with product responsible.

Be part of R&D activities to make sure we stay competitive also for the future.

Interpret requirements and available data and document required procedures for seismic qualification of equipment.

Perform studies for sea fastening of critical equipment.

Review and approve supplier reports on seismic qualification.

Support our business units in the dynamic calculation area.

Your background

We are looking for Doctor or Master of Science or higher in mechanical engineering.

Experience from seismic or other dynamic simulations with heavy equipment (pl
