Do you want to be part of developing grid solutions for the future energy landscape? Do you want to be a force in taking Vattenfall forward in this direction enabling our grids to make room for new active customers, fossil-free living, and include higher amounts of weather-dependent power production?
Are you looking for a diverse international working place characterized by team spirit, flexibility and an open atmosphere?
If yes: we have a great opportunity for you! Join Vattenfall as an R&D Engineer.
As an R&D Engineer we need you to strengthen our Power Technology Section by working to develop and use new technology in connection to wind power and more efficient use of power system components. You will be a member of the Offshore Power Technology team, which examines different HVAC and HVDC interconnections, performs cable studies, and provides technology expertise in both transmission and inter-array cable systems. By working on these topics, we expect you to improve your already good understanding of offshore cabling system components, static and dynamic current rating, measuring and sensing techniques, and relevant standards and codes like IEC and CIGRE. The competence is crucial for Vattenfall in many areas, such as several upcoming new large wind power plants, connection of different synchronous power systems, as well as designing and implementing new HVDC projects.
Who are we?
Vattenfall R&D is responsible for conducting business driven technical development that creates value for the company and helps realizing our strategy. We work in agile teams close to the business of Vattenfall. The corporate R&D unit employs 120 people located in three different offices in Sweden and Denmark. The section Power Technology works with power system analysis needed to understand bottlenecks and dynamic behaviors in the electrical grid as well as optimization and control of the power system including both its loads and productions.
At Vattenfall R&D we go from ideas to real projects in short time. We know that our employees change the future of Vattenfall and their ideas are extremely important.
Vattenfall plays an active role in implementing new ways of controlling the power systems. We build the largest wind power plants in Europe and we make several large Micro Grid pilots. We believe that decentralized production will be the next energy revolution supported and driven by our customers, local control systems, digitalization, electrical components, as well as your engagement. This means great development needs in the electrical area.
What do we offer?
We offer you a flexible and warm work environment, a diverse group in age, gender, and nationalities where everyone is on an equal footing, a team of considerable freedom to shape your own day-to-day activities and the opportunity to work in an exciting and changing technical field of strategic importance to the company. At Vattenfall we put high priority to enable a good balance between work and private life.
Your responsibilities as R&D Engineer
In this existing R&D Engineer role, you will have the opportunity to be a part of the Power Technology Section that delivers major and often challenging assignments together with other R&D Engineers from other teams, experts from Vattenfall, and consultants. You will conduct power system studies using different software such as COMSOL, Matlab and PSCAD. Moreover, the position requires leading your own customer focused projects including communicating and developing customer relationships with Business Area Wind.
Your qualifications and personal skills as R&D Engineer within Submarine Cable Technology
We see that the successful candidate:
holds a Master's degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Power Technology or similar with experience in designing, engineering or testing of high-voltage cables and accessories- experience working in a cable manufacturing facility will be positively evaluated.
It is expected that you have at least three years of work experience in cable related power systems areas. Moreover, you have strong command in cable calculations tools.
Since you will work in an international, diverse environment, fluency in English is a must, while a good command of other languages is not a requirement but will be considered as a merit.
The candidate is also expected to have experience that fits in at least two of the following questions:
Cables technology including material science, electromagnetic properties, and physics
CPS, J-Tubes and other submarine cable related accessories.
Cables monitoring systems such as DTS (Distributed Thermal Sensing), DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing), and PD (Partial Discharge) measuring equipment
FEM thermal and electromagnetic modeling via COMSOL
Lab cables testing practices such as fatigue, tensile, resistance and insulation testing
On the personal level, you are analytical, committed and self-driven with good communication and interpersonal skills. You are capable of leading teams and able to communicate clearly at all levels. You are able to develop rough ideas and ambitions into concrete and successful projects. As the work involves extensive interaction both internally and with external partners and suppliers, a good understanding of commercial aspects and an ability to establish and maintain relationships and networks is key. A passion for new technology we believe is a necessity for this role.
