A Snapshot of Your Day

Siemens Energy has an exciting opportunity to develop and grow a new business function in support of the growing US HVDC market. With the increase in demand for HVDC technology moving forward, we have decided to establish a dedicated team within the US to support the delivery of future projects including a full transient network analysis laboratory for functional and dynamic performance testing.

As a System Engineer for Real-Time Simulation of HVDC Systems you will work within a team of HVDC project management and engineering specialists to design and deliver full HVDC control and protection solutions making use of a new transient network analysis laboratory located in Raleigh. You will report to the Engineering Manager – HVDC C&P and will be required to provide engineering work packages in line with project and business objectives.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Planning, installation, commissioning and documentation of real-time simulators
• Project-specific configuration and operation of real-time simulators within the scope of control & protection engineering and factory tests for HVDC applications
• Execution of factory tests and preparation of test documentation as part of project handling and development of new plant systems together with the test team
• Technical handling of real-time simulators for external customers in connection with delivery and commissioning on site
• Collaboration in the preparation of quotations in the form of concept and customer clarifications and preparation of quotation documents

What You Bring

• University degree in electrical engineering with a focus on power engineering
• 5-10 years' experience
• Initial experience in the areas of power converter technology (HVDC), high-voltage technology, digital simulation technology as well as control and automation technology
• Knowledge of real-time simulation systems, preferably with RTDS or comparable (such as Hypersim, e-megasim) and of simulation tools, preferably of EMTDC, EMTP-RV and/or Matlab/Simulink
• Fluent English, written and spoken and preferably advanced German language skills
• Willingness to travel on business and abroad to deliver the system to the customer
• Initiative and motivation to learn, outstanding team and collaboration skills, enthusiasm to dive deeper into the field of Energy Transmission
