The opportunity
Join us as Scientist in Power System Analysis and Solution Algorithms (f/m/d)
We are looking for a passionate and proficient industrial scientist with expertise in power system analysis/ management and high-level programming at our research center in Mannheim/Germany. In an inter-disciplinary environment, you will drive cutting-edge innovation for different complex systems in power grid applications. Join our dynamic and motivated team to contribute to a sustainable energy future for all.
How you'll make an impact
1. Design innovative approaches for grid operation and deliver them as prototypes and robust software modules
2. Translate real power‑system problems into rigorous models and design computational experiments to quantify accuracy and robustness; ensure reproducibility with versioned code and data
3. Collaborate with a global and inter-disciplinary team of researchers in Hitachi Energy Research to drive the development from concept to MVP and partner with product/software teams to bring solutions to production
4. Build relationships within the company and actively share your knowledge and expertise. Interact with local and global external partners including universities, start-ups, and vendors to integrate diverse perspectives and stakeholder inputs
5. Disseminate your results in scientific publications, patent applications, and technical reports. Produce clear design docs and developer-facing examples/ notebooks that enable reuse
Your background
6. PhD in Electrical/Power Systems Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Master’s degree with equivalent industry experience
7. Proven expertise in modelling and steady-state analyses of power grids demonstrated hands-on expertise applying these methods in software development.
8. Knowledge in mathematical optimization applied to power systems, and modern numerical solvers is strongly desired (e.g., MIP/NLP, stochastic; tools such as Gurobi, CPLEX, Ipopt). Experience with machine learning and/or artificial intelligence technologies is a plus
9. Proficiency in C#, C++, Rust or a similar high-level programming language is required; Python and/or Matlab for analytics and fast prototyping are a plus.
10. Experience building state-of-the-art software engineering techniques (version control, code reviews, testing, CI/CD) and integrating solution algorithms into applications are beneficial (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). High performance computing skills such as parallel/distributed computing, GPU, OpenMP or MPI would be beneficial
11. Excellent communication skills in English, team player attitude, initiative and creativity
