Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Senior Control and Software Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and implementation of advanced control systems and embedded software for next-generation Solid State Transformers (SST), high-power grid-tied inverters, and large-scale renewable energy integration platforms.

You will drive technical innovation in medium- and high-voltage power electronics for applications including data center electrification, utility-scale renewables, microgrids, EV charging infrastructure, and smart grid systems. This senior role involves end-to-end technical ownership—from control strategy definition and system modeling to real-time software implementation, validation, and field deployment—while mentoring junior engineers and influencing technology roadmap decisions.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead the development and optimization of real-time control algorithms for Solid State Transformers (multi-stage, multilevel, and resonant topologies) and grid-connected inverters operating in both grid-forming and grid-following modes.

· Architect and implement robust embedded software and firmware (C/C++) for DSP, FPGA, and multi-core microcontroller platforms, ensuring high-performance bi-directional power flow, fault management, and seamless grid interaction.

· Define and execute system-level modeling and simulation strategies using MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD/EMTDC, or similar tools; drive automatic code generation and model-based design workflows for production systems.

· Lead renewable energy integration efforts, including PV, wind, and energy storage systems, with advanced techniques such as virtual synchronous machines (VSM), hierarchical power management, droop control, inertia emulation, and compliance with stringent grid codes (IEEE 1547, IEC 61727/62116, Grid Code requirements).

· Oversee Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL), and Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) testing campaigns; lead performance validation, stability analysis, and certification activities.

· Provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams (hardware, systems, test, and firmware) on protection schemes, communication architectures (IEC 61850, Modbus TCP, DNP3, OPC-UA), cybersecurity, and functional safety.

· Mentor and guide junior control/software engineers; conduct design reviews, establish best practices, and drive continuous improvement of the control software platform and architecture.

· Identify and solve complex technical challenges related to harmonics, resonance, grid disturbances, renewable intermittency, and high-power SiC/GaN-based converters.

· Contribute to R&D strategy, intellectual property (patents), technical publications, and product roadmap planning to maintain technology leadership in SST and renewable integration.

Required Qualifications

· Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Control Systems, or a related field (PhD strongly preferred).

· 7+ years of hands-on industry experience in control and embedded software development for high-power power electronics, with direct involvement in inverters, DC-DC converters, or Solid State Transformers.

· Demonstrated expertise in:

o Advanced control techniques (Model Predictive Control, resonant controllers, adaptive control, PLL/synchronization algorithms, dq0-frame and stationary-frame control).

o Real-time embedded programming (C/C++, RTOS, bare-metal) and FPGA firmware (VHDL/Verilog).

o Model-based design and automatic code generation workflows.

· Strong background in power electronics modeling, renewable integration, microgrid systems, and grid compliance testing.

· Proven track record of leading technical deliverables from concept through to successful product deployment or field operation.

Role Summary

This is a build-it role with a leading global operator of high-density compute and data centre infrastructure. You'll be a key technical voice in a Performance Assurance team responsible for keeping mission-critical sites running at peak reliability across our international portfolio. You'll travel across APAC and global locations (~50% of the time), see the equipment in real operating conditions, and turn what you measure into decisions that protect tens of millions of dollars of mission-critical assets.

If you've spent your career so far in a refinery, power plant, semiconductor fab, petrochemical facility, utility, or another high-stakes industrial environment — and you're ready to apply that mission-critical mindset to one of the most demanding compute infrastructures in the world — this is the role you've been training for, even if you didn't know it.

Responsibilities

• Own the power quality and asset reliability monitoring program for global data centre and critical power systems, supporting Tier III/IV-class availability
• Travel to sites to install, commission, and run long-term and ad-hoc monitoring using professional-grade analysers (Fluke, Dranetz, Hioki, PQube, Schneider ION, or equivalent) — capturing voltage, frequency, harmonics, three-phase imbalance, flicker, and voltage dip/swell data
• Turn raw data into operational decisions using Python, MATLAB, or advanced Excel — running 95th-percentile evaluations, exceedance analysis, event waveform reviews, and trend reports aligned with IEC 61000 and related international standards
• Hunt down disturbance sources — non-linear loads, UPS systems, energy storage PCS inverters — and propose mitigation (active/passive filters, reactive power compensation, design changes)
• Lead pre-connection power quality reviews for battery energy storage system (BESS) integration projects — on-site testing and verification of harmonics, fluctuations, and fault ride-through against IEC 61000, IEEE 519, and EN 50160
• Be the in-house technical authority on power quality and asset reliability — running internal training, briefing operations and project teams, and tracking how international standards are evolving

Requirements

• 5–10 years of hands-on engineering experience in mission-critical industrial environments
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, High Voltage, or related discipline.
• Solid grounding in HV/LV electrical systems — switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, ATS, motors, VSDs, protection systems.
• Comfortable with — or willing to deepen — your hands-on use of professional power quality analysers (Fluke 435/1760/174 or equivalent). Even if your current role doesn't have you running them daily, you understand the measurement principles and want to grow this specialism
• Familiarity with IEC 61000-4-30, IEEE 519, EN 50160 or equivalent international PQ standards.
• Data-fluent. Python or MATLAB or advanced Excel skills
• Open to ~50% travel.
• Bonus points for any direct experience with BESS integration, harmonic mitigation projects, PCS inverter analysis, "PV + storage" optimisation, UPS/storage backup integration, or Tier III/IV data centre commissioning
