The opportunity

Join our research team at Hitachi Energy in Baden-Dättwil and contribute to the future of sustainable energy. As part of a project focused on HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) systems, you will help model the reliability and availabil-ity of key components that connect renewable energy sources to distant power grids.

You’ll work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and gain hands-on experience in reliability engineering and statistical modeling for 6 - 12 months. Please submit your full application in English.

How you’ll make an impact

• Develop statistical models for HVDC system reliability

• Create stochastic models for HVDC station components

• Analyze reliability data from power systems

• Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify potential issues in HVDC systems

• Document and share results with research and business teams

• Support knowledge transfer across teams and collaborators

• Contribute to sustainable energy infrastructure

• Work independently and creatively on technical challenges in collaboration with engineering and data sci-ence experts

Your background

• Enrolled in a M.Sc. In electrical, power, mechanical engineering, physics or applied mathematics

• Understanding of components used in alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) systems, such as con-verters and cooling systems

• Experience in reliability engineering and statistics

• Fluent in written and spoken English

• Strong communication and technical writing skills

• Able to work autonomously and think creatively
