Development Engineer – Electrical Design

The Opportunity

At Hitachi Energy Cooling Systems, we haveglobalresponsibility for the development and manufacturing of cooling systems for power electronics and power transmission applications. Our solutions contribute to safe and reliable operation, with customer focus and quality at the core of everything we do.

Driven by the rapidly growing global demand for electricity, our business continues to expand, and we are now looking to strengthen our Electrical & Automation team inLandskrona. This is an opportunity to join a global organization focused on delivering advanced cooling systems for critical energy infrastructure.

As aDevelopmentEngineer – Electrical & Automation, you will take technical responsibility for electrical and automation solutions in assigneddevelopmentprojects. You will work close totheinternal engineering teams, and production, translating customer requirements into robust and compliant design solutions. While you do not have formal personnel responsibility, youare responsible forthe electricaldesignscope in your projects andcoordinateothers in the delivery. As our productionis located inLandskrona, the role isprimarily on‑site, with some flexibility for remote work.
