System & Study Engineer (f/m/d) for HVDC Protection
About the Role
Location Germany Bayern Erlangen Remote vs. Office Hybrid (Remote/Office) Company Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KG Organization Grid Technologies Business Unit Grid Solutions Full / Part time Full-time Experience Level Mid-level Professional A Snapshot of Your Day For our team of technical experts working on HVDC control and protection systems, we are looking for a motivated engineer (f/m/d) for the DC protection and measurement system.Measurement system: we ensure among other things that all measured values in the HVDC are collected, preprocessed, and sent according to the requirements of the receivers – (converter) control, regulation, DC protection.DC protection system: the base for the DC protection concept of the whole HVDC system is designed during our investigations and parametrizations. We create a technical optimal solution for the challenges of the energy transition for our customers. We parametrize the DC protection functions with analytical and simulative methods, extensive protection coordination studies, we adapt the software and integrate our solution in the hardware of our systems in the testing area. The mentioned points are part of your work as well as the collaboration and coordination with other teams to achieve the best solution for our customer.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.Are you looking for starting your career in the energy technology after graduation? Are you motivated to put your knowledge into practice? We are looking forward to receiving your job application! How You’ll Make an Impact
1. 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
2. Support in research and development topics for HVDC projects
3. Performing functional and performance tests: model-based testing (MBT) in SIMULINK and hardware in the loop (HiL) with real-time simulation systems (RTDS)
4. Contribution to the programming of the software for DC protection and measurement systems in Matlab/Simulink
5. Performance of DC protection coordination studies for HVDC systems, including the determination of DC protection settings and preparation of the study documentation
