The Opportunity
 

We’re looking for a passionate IT/OT Engineer to join our transformation journey as we shift from project‑based delivery to modern, product‑oriented systems. Our cross‑functional team is growing, creating a dynamic environment where novel ideas and collaboration thrive.

In this role, you’ll help design and structure the system solutions our global project teams rely on. You’ll work with platforms based on the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) at HVDC, with a strong focus on OT applications, HMI solutions, and platform components.
 

You will assess the current setup and help evolve the base solutions to optimize effort by creating reusable OT and HMI application components. These components are expected to work both independently and in integrated system environments, delivering correct services with clear interfaces while remaining exchangeable without sacrificing quality.

Designed and developed components must be tested and integrated to ensure correct service delivery to our customers. By creating and maintaining documentation, you’ll support both your team and project teams with traceability discipline and configuration governance.

Working at the intersection of IT and OT, you’ll tackle real challenges, build scalable solution components, and influence how we innovate and collaborate. If you’re motivated to create smart, efficient OT solutions and make a meaningful impact across the organization, this is the opportunity for you.

How you will make an impact:

• Develop OT and HMI application components that deliver services within the IT/OT platforms
• Translate technical solution criteria into clear and comprehensive technical documentation
• Support versioning, baseline control, and enforcement of configuration governance standards
• Assess existing solutions and refactor them into modular, reusable components
• Support virtualization, simulation, and testing of OT application components
• Provide insights to improve existing solution structures and development processes

Background:

• Experience working with OT systems, applications, or HMI development
• Understanding of IT/OT platforms and system solution design
• Experience developing modular, reusable software components
• Familiarity with documentation, configuration governance, and traceability practices
• Strong collaboration skills and interest in cross‑functional teamwork

• Health care and wellness allowance

• Fantastic career possibilities within Hitachi Energy both within Sweden and globally

• Mentor to support you throughout onboard phase

• Various training and education supporting employee development​

• Diversified company with over 70+ nationalities working in Sweden
