Engineer for FACTS System Design (f/m/d) - Grid Engineering Academy
A Snapshot of Your Day
Due to the energy transition and the introduction of more and more renewable energy sources, the increased demand for reactive power, inertia and frequency stabilizing current contribution is necessary for the safe operation of the AC transmission grid.In the System Design, our investigations lay the theoretical foundation for FACTS installations and create technically optimized solutions for our customers to address the challenges of the energy transition. The daily work is very varied, as no FACTS project is like the other.
Conducting detailed design calculations using analytical or simulation methods is just as much a part of the daily tasks as collaborating and coordinating with other teams within Siemens Energy to achieve the best solution for our customers.
Furthermore, we present the results of our design studies to our customers and, if necessary, verify them through appropriate measurements and tests. Additionally, there is the opportunity to advance and shape cross-team collaboration within the FACTS area through training, workshops, continuous improvement, or digitalization
Are you a recent graduate or an early career professional eager to make a significant impact in the energy sector? Join Siemens Energy and help shape the future of Power Transmission. This unique opportunity offers you a full-time, permanent job at Siemens Energy, along with the opportunity to join our exclusive Grid Engineering Academy and participate in the Power Engineering Starter Program.
Power Engineering Starter Program is a unique upskilling program designed to equip you with the necessary project management, interpersonal and technical skills primarily in Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC).The program spans 12 months and runs in parallel with your full-time job, ensuring you gain valuable experience and knowledge without interrupting your career progression.
This program includes:
- Learning cycles
- Networking events
- Classroom and virtual training
- On-the-job training
- Personal and professional development opportunities
- International site visits
You will actively contribute to the energy transition and immerse yourself in a thriving market environment where innovation and growth intersect. You will engage in projects that deliver the key technology to transmit electricity from where it's generated to where it's needed, and even connect countries.
How You'll Make an Impact- Development of FACTS system concepts as solutions to individual project requirements to support the energy transition worldwide
- Creation of design-relevant studies for FACTS projects in the proposal and execution phase (e.g., stationary design of the operating range of the FACTS systems, transient design of the insulation coordination of the FACTS system)
- Elaboration of possible interaction of the FACTS with the grid in different frequency ranges
- Close collaboration and coordination with other teams in the FACTS area for versatile optimization and further development of complex overall systems (e.g., neighboring teams in engineering, sales, component development, control and protection, sub-supplier)
- Supporting tender and project management with your expertise in technical discussions and customer meetings
- Participation in research and development of novel FACTS applications in agile teams from different disciplines
- A completed Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, ideally with a focus on Power Electronics, Electrical Machines. High Voltage Technology, Energy Transmission Systems or Control Engineering
- Willingness to learn new things, independence and initiative, solution-oriented action
- Knowledge and interest in simulation tools and programming languages (e.g., PSCAD, Matlab, Power Factory)
- Very good German and English skills, and ideally experience in intercultural collaboration
