We are looking for New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer to join our global FACTS (NPI) team. The position will be based in Noida, India.
Grid Solutions delivers mainly high power (>100MVAr) Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) as Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM) and Static Var Compensators (SVC), Fixed Series Capacitors (FSC) and Synchronous Condensers (SC). These are used to control power system voltage and reactive power flow as well as to improve the power system stability and transmission system efficiency. FACTS devices are also typically used to enable the integration of renewables to the power system making the future power system more sustainable. Energy transformation towards generation of electricity from renewables have significantly increased the markets for FACTS devices and R&D needs for the power system stability products. The Product Delivery Group (PDG) for power electronics-based products STATCOM and SVC is in Tampere, Finland, while the PDG for FSC and SC is in Saratoga Springs, United States.
In this position, you will focus on research and development around SVC and STATCOM solutions and you will be functionally reporting to NPI program leaders in Finland.
Your main task is to research and develop optimized reactive power compensator systems. Target is to create innovative compensator configurations and controls which allows the compensator to meet more demanding customer requirements. These requirements may for example be related to losses and harmonic emissions, active / reactive power range, reliability, noise or magnetic field emissions and integration of energy storage to be a part of the compensator solution. Although you are focused on the R&D part of the system design, you will be having close collaboration with System design Engineering team.
In this very versatile role, you have possibility to become recognized expert in the field of overall system design of the reactive power compensator. Your areas of expertise will include:
In this role, you will be focusing on the product development as well as future products and technologies. Therefore, you will have the possibility see larger technology trends in the field of electrical power engineering. Due to the innovative nature of the role, you are expected to contribute on patents and scientific publications. This role gives you real opportunity to work for the more sustainable and green future power system.
The research and development work will comply with the good design practices starting from rigour specification definition to implementation, validation and documentation. Although you are joining to the NPI team located in Noida, you will have close collaboration with the FACTS NPI team and System Design Engineering team in Finland as well as HVDC NPI team located in Stafford, UK.
