Responsibilities
Job Description
- Use design tools to specify converter valves and deliver valve design report to support tender and project.
- Generate technical documentations (such as valve design, type test specification, routine test specification and site pre-commissioning specifications) to deliver converter valves at project stage
- Working against customer specification at project stage (Clause by Clause, Risk analysis).
- Integration with other engineering departments for product definition (System design, Main Scheme, Layout, Commercial).
- Testing and validation for high voltage power electronic including IGBT and thyristor and passive component used in valve converter.
- Design or application experience on IGBT and thyristor driver circuit.
- Design experience on the protection and control circuit for IGBT and thyristor.
- Performing routine and type test specifications and pre-commissioning testing.
The candidate will probably be educated to degree level in electrical or electronic engineering. However, this is not as important as a proven track record and evidence that you have the experience and abilities to perform the role.
Candidates should have a good understanding of power semiconductors, their control, protection and application would be advantageous. It is key that the candidate has the ability to work quickly and efficiently within an engineering team.
An enquiring mind and desire to learn new skills, an ability to apply different engineering disciplines and a willingness to share the knowledge are essential qualities. Ideally, the candidate will have a good track record of leading a team of engineers in delivering a technical project on time and according to the scope.
Qualifications/Requirements
- Educated to degree level in electrical or power electronic engineering
- Experience for power electronic converters (motor drives, such as HVDC and FACTS applications)
- Experience on high power electronic components (IGBTs, thyristors, passive components)
- Experience on testing and validation of power electronic device
- Thermal Design (loss calculations, heatsink specification liquid cooling)
- Specification and report writing
- Simulation tools such as Matlab-Simulink, PSCAD-EMTDC
- Requirements capture
- Risk analysis
- EHS compliance ability
- Good communication skills
- Able to work to deadlines with high quality
- Good technical communication
- Independent and team worker (Pro-Active)
