When you work with us, you will therefore be part of a higher purpose where each department contributes. Together we can encourage the next innovation - to make life better for everyone.

We are looking for an Harmonic Analysis Engineer to join our HVDC team at Hitachi Energy – Montreal. You will be part of a team of talented engineers working for Harmonic Analysis group in Systems Design department, reporting to the HVDC Engineering Manager in Canada. You will be responsible for interpreting customer requirements and analyze their feasibility, performing harmonics studies supporting high voltage equipment definition – during tender and project phase, as well for the onsite compliance measurements during project start up and operation. If you have experience on harmonics analysis, studies and measurement on high voltage substations, you are eager to learn, and you enjoy working on a global structure of high technology and innovation, apply now!

Responsibilities:

• As a Harmonic Analysis Engineer, you will work mainly harmonic related studies (< 15 KHZ) , participating and collaborating in project groups

• Evaluate whether specified harmonic power quality requirements can be fulfilled; and analyze small-signal stability in the harmonic range (harmonic stability); when connecting HVDC station to the network or windfarm. If necessary, propose active or passive mitigation measures such as harmonic filters or harmonic dampers.

• Calculate harmonic stresses in all HVDC station main circuit equipment and evaluate whether mitigation measures or re-designs are required due to excessive harmonic stresses.

• Develop small tools in e.g., Excel, MATLAB or Python to effectively analyze and process large amount of data for your study work.

• Effectively participate in negotiations, internally and with customers or suppliers, presenting and discussing challenges on your own work and path forward on a higher level.

• Write clear technical reports describing complex study work in a professional manner.

• Participate in conferences and standardization work groups in your field within the international engineering communities.

• Compliance measurements during commissioning I also among your responsibility.

• Live Hitachi Energy core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Qualifications:

• We are looking for an engaged, structured, persistent, well-organized, and driven person who is a true team player Professional Engineering with Bachelor's or MSc. degree in Electric Power Engineering or similar

• 2+ years of experience with harmonics analysis and studies on high voltage substations

• You can model and analyze electrical circuits in frequency-domain – by hand and via computer – and understand how multi-phase systems can be analyzed using modes.

• You face problems with a structured mindset, understanding that models and calculations are estimations, but also, that input data could be arbitrary and that some requirements must be challenged and discussed with customer to solve real problems.

• You are a team player with excellent communication and report writing skills.

• Experience of EMT tools like PSCAD is advantageous and programming experience in MATLAB is highly appreciated.

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken is required to be able to interact with various stakeholders.

• French speaking is an asset.

Only selected applicants will be contacted.
