Ingénieur d'application - eMobility (H/F)

Job Description

Within our eMobility Regional Center of Competence (RCoC), Europe Hub organization, we are looking for a skilled and motivated Application Engineer for charging infrastructure solutions. In this role, you will work closely with customers, Sales, Tendering, Product Management, engineering teams and local operating units to develop optimized, fit-for-purpose charging solutions for public and commercial transport. You will shape high-level technical concepts from early customer engagement through tendering and support their refinement during project execution.

How you'll make an impact

• Engage with customers early in the project-development cycle to understand operational needs, charging strategies, site constraints, grid-connection requirements, and future expansion plans.
• Develop and compare high-level technical solution concepts for charging infrastructure, including system architecture, key design criteria, scope boundaries and interfaces.
• Translate customer and market requirements into optimized, feasible, and value-based solutions using the Hitachi Energy portfolio, while identifying assumptions, deviations, technical risks & opportunities.
• Support Sales Capture and tender teams during pre-design by coordinating technical inputs, evaluating solution options and handing over the selected concept for verification and refinement by tender and factory teams.
• Coordinate with internal specialists and interface partners on power-system studies, grid connection, power conversion, charging equipment, energy management, smart charging, control and communication, civil interfaces and installation concepts.
• Prepare and present technical proposals, concept descriptions, single-line diagrams, design criteria, study scopes, and customer-facing technical material.
• Support project teams after awards clarification and refinement of the sold solution, helping preserve design intent, manage interfaces, and identify opportunities for optimization or upselling.
• Use customer and market insights to support Product Management in improving offerings, standard solutions and application guidelines for eMobility charging infrastructure.
• Contribute to technical workshops, events, training, customer seminars and knowledge sharing across countries and functions.

Your background

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, with emphasis on power systems, power electronics or Power System studies.
• 5 years of experience in application, power systems engineering, including DC power supply systems, application of power electronics (Thyristors, IGBTs), MV/LV distribution system, industrial electrification or equivalent electrical system.
• Sound understanding of AC and DC distribution, power conversion, transformers and switchgear, protection and control, power quality, harmonic performance and grid-connection principles.
• Experience in developing technical concepts and converting customer requirements into system architectures, specifications, scope definitions, and compliant technical offers.
• Proactive and results-oriented, with strong analytical, communication, presentation, and teamwork skills in a multicultural and multi-location environment.
• Willingness to travel for customer meetings, events, workshops and project support as required.
• Fluent in written and spoken English; another European language (e.g. German, French, Italian) is an advantage.
