R&D Engineer

You will assume an expert role in the design & development of capacitor products as a specialist in physics. On the personal side, we are looking for someone with a positive mindset, analytical capabilities, and a strong drive for collaboration with teams and stakeholders to build the best possible product.

Design, conduct, and supervise experiments to test scientific theories to discover/validate properties of materials (polymers, fluids, etc.) and processes (drying, impregnation, sealing, etc.).

Develop scientific theories and mathematical models to explain physical phenomena like vibrations, sound, acoustics, thermal, heat flow and predict future behavior.

Analyze and interpret large amounts of data using complex mathematical calculations, computer simulations, and through use of software like Python or MATLAB.

Plan, perform and review calculation/simulations and qualification tests on various types of parts and processes of capacitor products.

Participate constructively in working teams, share own technical/scientific knowledge in own projects and supports colleagues in applying processes and tools to ensure timely and high-quality results.

Shows solid documentation skills and writes technical reports, project, and product documents independently, including doing feasibility studies as baseline for decision making.

Conduct quality case root cause analysis with solid technical knowledge, conduct reliability studies.

Conduct/participate in design reviews, RCA, DFMEA/DFM/DFA, perform prototyping & testing of capacitor. Prepare design documentation (Development report, analysis report, assembly & test instruction, test specification, etc.).

Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

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
