A Snapshot of Your Day
As a Power Electronics Engineer (f/m/d) at Siemens Energy, you analyse and optimize the tools and software for power converters of the future to enable energy transition. You abstract the customer´s requirements takin into account the hardware and software limits of the converter. Together with a team of experts, you investigate, implement and test new solution approaches and concepts as part of R&D and customer projects. You design the solutionas for these challenges yourself and are able to optimize and further develop them.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Indepentent development and analysis of power converter control, including software of self-guided multilevel converters
- Creation of simulation models for self-commutated multilevel converter systems in power transmission system, including control design, software structure and test coordination
- Design, test and implementation of novel control concepts takin into account overall system optimization (consideration of software and hardware aspects)
- Development and setup of a test framework and a model architecture for "continuous software development" for easy and fast integration of new control concepts and algorithmus
- Participation in the development of structures and corresponding tools for the efficient and simultaneous operation of several projects with different specific requirements
- Active participation in internal and exernal research and development projects as well as support of internal business partners on technical level (engineering, product manager, sales, etc.)
What You Bring
- University degree in electrical engineering or information technology, preferably with a PhD
- experience in R&D projects or industry, adept in Matlab/Simulink for real-time simulation and embedded software
- Deep understanding of control engineering and software engineering principles, including modern control methods and software architecture
- Proficient in version control systems, particularly git, with experience in CI/CD being advantageous
- Strong expertise in applying modern control methods, especially in power converter technology, within industrial contexts
- Fluent in business English, with proficiency in German being a bonus
