General Information:

Hitachi Energy is looking for an engineering manager who can inspire and enable our energy market power application engineers to push the limits of what is thought possible and collaborate with our customers to envision and deliver new ways to handle the increasing challenges of their operational environment.

Engineering Manager for Market Network Applications, manages the network application teams that focuses on modeling of power systems,distribution load and renewable storage power into individual components, solving the power flow, performing power flow regulations andcontrols, analyzing power flow contingencies, performing network sensitivity studies, identifying network and power flow constraints, computing constraints coefficients for linearized models, performing complex non-linear optimizations, computing marginal prices, zonalprices, producing reports on results, analyzing performance and throughput, comparing the power flow solutions with expected results,interacting and engaging into deep technical discussions with customers.

Your Responsibilities:

• Define, track, and evaluate individual network power application staff professional development goals, identify and foster opportunities for personal growth, learning and innovation, aligned with team and company goals, commitments, and expectations.
• Drive the identification, adoption and improvement of the network power application group engineering practices, methods, environments, tools, and techniques that improve working experience, knowledge sharing, efficiency, quality, and maintainability.
• Identify, train, and support the network power application team leads and coordinate network power application lead and engineering staff assignments across multiple projects.
• Foster a technically strong, team oriented, flexible team, with high cooperation and coordination with other Energy Market Management teams around the globe.
• Coordinate the analysis and understanding network power application engineering, business, and software requirements and the identification of technically feasible network power application solutions across projects. Drive the estimation and planning of the required engineering and quality effort, identification of risks and formulation of implementation approach and assumptions.
• Drive the scheduling, task assignment, execution, and verification of forecasted and committed work across all projects. Identify resource constraints and coordinate work and propose changes for staff addition, reassignment, and training.
• Coordinate the design, design reviews, development, unit testing, integration testing, documentation and support of network power application solutions while following companies best electric power application engineering, software development and reporting practices.
• Coordinate software releases and organize network application team support to onsite teams, availability of expert knowledge, and support customer technical teams while driving quick problem analysis, troubleshoot and resolution of production defects.
• Foster electrical power engineering and security analysis research and team knowledge in power systems modelling, load forecast, distributed resources, network power flow, network power security analysis, power flow constraint sensitivities, nodal and congestion pricing, secure operation, and real time control and support.
• Coordinate expertise and represent the company internal and external presentations with customers, internal stakeholders, and industry gatherings.
• Must be willing to travel for short periods of time to visit or support customers around the world.
• Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
