HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) is a product group within Hitachi Energy, which develops, manufactures, and sells DC transmission systems on the global market. HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances, and for power transmission via submarine cables. It is also used to connect power systems.

By 2050, the energy need will have increased by 50% compared to today, and HVDC is a prerequisite to meet this demand in a greener, smarter, and more sustainable way.

Both the HVDC market and the target for our new HVDC quality solutions and products are growing. To be able to perform all the upcoming and challenging projects we have in front of us, we need to strengthen our team with additional R&D Process Improvement Specialists in several areas, who want to contribute to our team spirit, our quality, our company, and to the global society and environment.

Today, the R&D Process Improvement Specialists execute Process and Quality Improvement initiatives within the HVDC R&D areas System design, Control & Protection, Valve mechanical and electrical design, and Digitalization. The work includes creating new processes, updating existing processes, supporting users, creating documents and templates, and monitor results from quality related investigations. Collaboration with the complete R&D and HVDC organizations is a key success factor, so is the ability to communicate in all applicable areas and having strong documentation skills.

We are very proud of the team and what we are doing within R&D, HVDC and the entire Hitachi Energy, managing and supporting the transition into the future. The need of our structure and quality in systems and products, where we are supporting the acceleration towards renewable energy, is evident. To work fulltime with something that really matters and has a huge impact on our future society and environment, is inspiring and meaningful, and we hope you want to be a part of it too.

We are in a very exciting phase and are interested in knowing more about you and how you would like to contribute, and how we at the same time can support your personal journey. Therefore, warm welcome to apply!
