Jobs at NIDEC CORPORATION

Designs, implements, tests and commissions PLC and SCADA/HMI software for industrial automation projects (steel plants and port quay electrification). Defines module requirements, develops and validates software, performs testing and commissioning up to system acceptance, prepares documentation, and coordinates with suppliers, customers, and internal engineering and project teams.

Develop firmware and software for electronic control of power converters on platforms like C2000, ARM and PowerPC. Work on bare-metal and RTOS (VxWorks, Linux) architectures, write low-level C code with attention to pointers and memory, use version control, and work autonomously. Optional experience includes microcontroller development, Rust, Linux development, RTOS, and multithreaded applications. Based in Cinisello Balsamo, Italy.

Manage and coordinate product certification and conformity activities for power converters, drives, automation and renewable-energy products. Identify applicable regulations and standards, select test labs, prepare technical files and declarations of conformity, support testing and validation, advise Engineering/Production, perform risk and reliability analyses, and apply Quality Management System principles.

Design and develop power assemblies and electronic boards for power converters from specification through implementation. Model converters (PSIM/Matlab/Simulink/PLECS), define and execute validation tests, produce design and test documentation, support system commissioning, and ensure compliance with international standards.

Manage and grow metal-business accounts across Europe: analyze market, find new customers, drive sales growth, support technical/commercial proposals, present products, maintain CRM, plan sales forecasts, coordinate with project managers and product leaders to meet customer timelines and product needs.

Analyze RFQs and site data to prepare technical proposals and cost estimates. Coordinate with sales, project execution, supply chain and technical teams; produce bill of materials and supporting bid documentation; attend customer meetings and support negotiations.

Design mechanical components and full 3D/2D assemblies for electronic power converters using CAD (Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD). Produce drawings, assembly instructions, supervise prototype assembly, perform hydraulic/mechanical tests, verify results and prepare reports. Ensure compliance with project specs and product standards, collaborate with power electronics designers, and apply basic thermal/CFD simulation knowledge. Occasional short national and international travel required.

Design and model mechanical solutions for electrical panels, containers, and skids. Produce 2D/3D assemblies and manufacturing drawings, manage vendors/consultants, evaluate thermal management (ventilation, A/C, liquid cooling), and specify outdoor protection and corrosion solutions. Support installation engineering and optimize equipment layouts.
