R&D Electrical Engineer Short Circuit- Power Transformers (m/f/d)

R&D Electrical Engineer Short Circuit- Power Transformers (m/f/d)

As an R&D Engineer, you will join the Technology Center South Europe, part of the global Technology organization of Business Unit Transformer. Based in Monselice (Italy), you will contribute to projects related to short circuit withstand of power transformers, supporting as a domain expert the design platforms.

How you’ll make an impact

• Propose and develop new technologies, products, and processes for core type transformers.
• Lead and manage R&D projects independently, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and meet quality standards following Hitachi Energy's internal processes.
• Maintain existing and develop new technical standards and design tools for transformers.
• Transfer knowledge by preparing reports, specifications, and participating in educational programs.
• Assess production processes, proactively identify gaps, and suggest improvements.
• Support factories with troubleshooting in your domain of expertise.
• Assist platform developers in creating technical specifications.
• Develop, manage, and expand relationships with stakeholders, including internal teams, research centers, and external partners such as customers and universities, proposing potential collaborations.

Your background

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience in the Power Transformer industry. Mechanical engineers with similar experience in transformer design will also be considered.
• Extensive experience in power transformer design, testing, and manufacturing.
• Strong knowledge of short circuit physics in power transformers.
• Proficiency with finite element electromagnetic analysis software. Basic knowledge of 3D mechanical CAD programs (e.g., CREO) is a plus.
• Experience with specialized calculation and verification software for engineering design tools.
• Knowledge of programming languages such as C#, C++, or Python is advantageous.
• Understanding of mechanical calculations related to structures (bending, torsion, etc.) and materials used in transformer manufacturing is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written, to effectively present technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
