设备工程师 - HVDC系统设计

Education

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, High Voltage Engineering, or a related discipline.

- Strong academic and practical understanding of electrical power systems and high-voltage equipment.

Professional Experience

- 10+ years of experience in high-voltage electrical equipment, switchgear, HVDC, or power transmission projects.

- Hands-on experience with main circuit equipment, such as:

• AC/DC circuit breakers
• Disconnectors and earthing switches
• High-speed switches
• Commutating switches
• Converter reactors
• Surge arresters
• Current transformers and voltage transformers
• Grading and insulation systems

- Experience in HVDC projects, equipment design, engineering, testing, qualification, or commissioning is preferred.

- Experience working with equipment suppliers and participating in technical reviews, design reviews, and resolution of technical issues.

Technical Knowledge

- Good knowledge of IEC and relevant international standards, particularly IEC 62271 series and applicable HVDC standards.

- Understanding of:

• Short-circuit phenomena and breaker duties
• TRV and recovery voltage
• Making and breaking currents
• DC time constant and DC component
• Switching transients and point-on-wave switching
• Insulation coordination
• Dielectric and temperature-rise requirements
• Mechanical and electrical endurance
• Type, routine, and special tests

- Ability to understand and review electrical schematics, technical specifications, datasheets, type-test reports, and design calculations.

- Knowledge of HVDC converter stations and the interaction between main circuit equipment and the overall HVDC system.

Technical Responsibilities

- Take technical ownership of assigned main circuit equipment throughout the project lifecycle.

- Define equipment requirements and develop/review technical specifications.

- Evaluate supplier designs, deviations, calculations, and technical proposals.

- Lead technical discussions with suppliers and resolve engineering issues.

- Review and approve design documentation, test plans, test reports, and qualification evidence.

- Support type testing, routine testing, factory acceptance testing, and site-related technical activities.

- Identify technical risks and ensure appropriate mitigation actions.

- Support standardization, design optimization, and continuous improvement of equipment.

Commercial & Affordability Awareness

- Understand the relationship between equipment design, technical requirements, cost, quality, and reliability.

- Identify opportunities for cost reduction and design-to-cost/affordability improvements without compromising safety, performance, or reliability.

- Support supplier benchmarking, specification optimization, and value-engineering initiatives.

- Ability to challenge unnecessary technical requirements and propose technically sound alternatives.

Collaboration & Leadership

- Ability to work effectively with system engineering, project engineering, procurement, quality, manufacturing, testing, and R&D teams.

- Strong supplier and stakeholder management skills.

- Ability to lead technical reviews and drive actions to closure.

- Good communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical subjects clearly.

- Ability to work in a global, multicultural engineering environment.

Desired Skills

- Strong problem-solving and analytical capability.

- Proactive approach to identifying technical risks and opportunities.

- Ability to work independently and make technically justified decisions.

- Good documentation and presentation skills.

- Experience with engineering tools, Excel, data analysis, and technical reporting.

- Willingness to travel internationally for supplier visits, testing, workshops, and project activities.

Preferred Profile

The ideal candidate should combine strong practical HV/high-voltage equipment experience with system-level understanding, and should be capable of independently challenging designs, validating supplier claims, identifying technical risks, and taking ownership of equipment performance from specification through testing and project delivery.
