Description
Overview
Join our Next Generation Grids Transformers team in Lodz and shape the future of energy. As an R&D Engineer – electrical transient simulations, you will work on cutting-edge medium voltage transformer and power converter technologies in a dynamic, international environment. You’ll be part of a collaborative global team, contributing to the full R&D lifecycle—from concept to testing and product launch, ensuring that our solutions meet technical specifications, market demands and quality needs. This role offers hands-on experience, technical growth, and the chance to make a real impact in the energy transition.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement innovative design rules for transformer and converter applications to mitigate interaction failures.
- Create and validate medium- and high-frequency models to predict and analyze system behaviour as well as ensure optimal performance.
- Collaborate with customers during the specification stage to ensure that designs meet the requirements and performance expectations.
- Provide technical support to quality departments.
- Study overvoltage phenomena as well as the effect of transient events on electrical systems.
- Utilize advanced simulation tools, such as Finite Element Method (FEM) and Matlab, to analyze network resonance and reconfiguration.
- Take ownership of work packages and deliver results using a structured approach.
- Contribute to intellectual property and risk management activities in R&D.
Your background
- MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, ideally with experience in R&D within a business environment.
- Strong background in distribution system and transformer transient mathematical analysis, modelling, and simulation.
- Good knowledge of grid-connected power converters and switching behaviour, ideally complemented with knowledge on average and small-signal modelling.
- Good knowledge of MATLAB and Python, complemented by experience using dedicated electric circuit simulation tools, such as Simulink, PLECS, LTSpice, EMTP.
- Experience using finite element simulation tools (Ansys, Comsol) would be a plus.
- Strong communication skills in English.
- Analytical thinking and ability to work independently and collaboratively within interdisciplinary and international teams.
