The opportunity

At Hitachi Energy, design is more than drawings—it’s how ideas become reliable, high‑quality power solutions.

You’ll translate requirements into practical designs, balance quality, cost, and schedule, and collaborate with a wide range of partners to bring solutions to life.

This role offers the chance to work with advanced engineering tools, contribute to both standard and special designs, and influence continuous improvement across products and processes. You’ll take ownership of complex tasks, solve real‑world challenges, and see the direct impact of your work on customers and operations.

How you’ll make an impact
  • Deliver electrical designs on time and to quality expectations

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to keep projects on track

  • Participate in design reviews and technical discussions

  • Support the development of special and custom designs

  • Identify and lead improvements to engineering processes and products

  • Define and document requirements for system enhancements

  • Support testing, validation, and deployment of tools and solutions

  • Provide technical support to customers and internal teams

  • Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

Your background
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

  • 3+ years of relevant engineering experience

  • Distribution transformer design experience (internship experience considered)

  • Strong communication and organizational skills

  • Ability to work independently with limited supervision

  • Experience collaborating across teams and functions

More about us
  • Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader advancing a sustainable energy future

  • We offer continuous learning, career mobility, and development opportunities worldwide

  • Join an inclusive, collaborative culture where innovation and growth are central
