Senior System & Study Engineer (f/m/d) for HVDC Protection

Senior System & Study Engineer (f/m/d) for HVDC Protection

Über die Aufgabe

A Snapshot of Your Day

For our team of technical experts working on HVDC control and protection systems, we are looking for a motivated and experienced engineer (f/m/d) for the DC protection and measurement system.

We work in the analysis and solution of complex system engineering problems, ensuring system stability and security, and in the implementation of new features and protection strategies as needed. Furthermore, there is the opportunity to promote cross-team cooperation within the HVDC area through trainings, workshops, continuous improvement, or digitalization topics and to help to shape it by yourself. In addition, we help you if you have the wish to participate in the commissioning of your project.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Responsibility from the offer over the engineering phase, performance, and customer acceptance tests as well as support during the plant commissioning from Erlangen to handover the system to the customer worldwide.
• Support in the creation of the DC protection concepts for self‑guided multilevel converters with half‑bridge modules for different applications
• Performance of DC protection coordination studies for HVDC systems, including the determination of DC protection settings and preparation of the study documentation
• Contribution to the programming of the software for DC protection and measurement systems in Matlab/Simulink
• Performing functional and performance tests: model‑based testing (MBT) in SIMULINK and hardware in the loop (HiL) with real‑time simulation systems (RTDS)
• Collaboration and coordination with other teams of the HVDC area (for example system design, studies, control) for the multifunctional optimization and development of complex HVDC overall systems

What You Bring

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, in the area of power electronics, high voltage, energy transmission systems, PhD is an asset
• Several years of experience in the area of control and protection, high voltage DC transmission, especially in the creation of DC protection concepts for HVDC and in measurement (filtering, preprocessing of signals, etc.) and in RTDS (real time simulation)
• Proven experience in software project planning and testing of SRS‑systems (control, regulation and system dynamics)
• Very good knowledge in MATLAB/SIMULINK, real‑time and embedded software, as well as modelling and simulation with PSCAD/EMTDC
• Fluency in German and English
