Design, implement, test and debug control logic and power control algorithms for FACTS devices.

Understand customer needs by reading customer specifications, participating in customer meetings and verifying compliance with customer requirements in factory acceptance test.
Maintain extensive contact with other engineering groups, lead engineers, local Hitachi Energy offices, and customers throughout the project.
Travel to site to assist with energization, working closely with local teams ensuring the system starts up safely and performs as expected.
