A Snapshot of Your Day
For our team of technical experts working on HVDC control and protection systems, we are looking for a motivated and experienced engineer (f/m/d) for the DC protection and measurement system.
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.
How You’ll Make an Impact
* Responsibility from the offer over the engineering phase, performance, and customer acceptance tests as well as support during the plant commissioning from Erlangen to handover the system to the customer worldwide.
* Support in the creation of the DC protection concepts for self-guided multilevel converters with half-bridge modules for different applications
* Performance of DC protection coordination studies for HVDC systems, including the determination of DC protection settings and preparation of the study documentation
* Contribution to the programming of the software for DC protection and measurement systems in Matlab/Simulink
* Performing functional and performance tests: model-based testing (MBT) in SIMULINK and hardware in the loop (HiL) with real-time simulation systems (RTDS)
* 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
What You Bring
* Master's degree in electrical engineering, in the area of power electronics, high voltage, energy transmission systems, PhD is an asset
* Several years of experience in the area of control and protection, high voltage DC transmission, especially in the creation of DC protection concepts for HVDC and in measurement (filtering, preprocessing of signals, etc.) and in RTDS (real time simulation)
* Proven experience in software project planning and testing of SRS-systems (control, regulation and system dynamics)
* Very good knowledge in MATLAB/SIMULINK, real-time and embedded software, as well as modelling and simulation with PSCAD/EMTDC
* Fluency in German and English
About the Team
Our Grid Technology division enables a reliable, sustainable, and digital grid. The power grid is the backbone of the energy transition. Siemens Energy offers a leading portfolio and solutions in HVDC transmission, grid stabilization and storage, high voltage switchgears and transformers, and digital grid technology.
Who is Siemens Energy?
At Siemens Energy, we are more than just an energy technology company. With ~100.000 dedicated employees in more than 90 countries, we develop the energy systems of the future, ensuring that the growing energy demand of the global community is met reliably and sustainably. The technologies created in our research departments and factories drive the energy transition and provide the base for one sixth of the world's electricity generation.
Our global team is committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We uphold a 150-year legacy of innovation that encourages our search for people who will support our focus on decarbonization, new technologies, and energy transformation.

Our Commitment to Diversity
Lucky for us, we are not all the same. Through diversity we generate power. We run on inclusion and our combined creative energy is fueled by over 130 nationalities. Siemens Energy celebrates character – no matter what ethnic background, gender, age, religion, identity, or disability. We energize society, all of society, and we do not discriminate based on our differences.
Rewards/Benefits
* In addition to an attractive remuneration package in line with the market, you can expect an attractive employer-financed company pension scheme
* We also offer the opportunity to become a Siemens Energy shareholder
* We offer our employees the opportunity to work flexibly and remotely, and our inspiring offices provide space for collaboration and creativity
* The professional and personal development of our employees is very important to us. We provide them with the opportunities to learn and develop in a self-determined way, various attractive programs and learning materials are available for this purpose
* In relation to the "compatibility of family and work", we have a wide range of offers, e.g. flexible working time models, childcare places at many locations, the possibility of trial part-time work or even a sabbatical
We value equal opportunities and welcome applications from people with disabilities.
