Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Senior Real-Time Solver Development Expert.
About the team:
The Smart Grid Technology Lab’s research focuses on Power electronics, Energy Management Systems and other Smart Grid Technologies, applying the latest technology to the digital power industry. The lab has become a research organization with many significant industry achievements.
About the job:
Researching, designing, and implementing CPU- and FPGA- based real-time numerical solvers for power systems and power-electronics-dominated systems
Developing C/C++-based real-time simulation frameworks under strict real-time constraints (fixed time step), and maintaining existing solver code to improve performance, stability, and scalability
Developing real-time simulation components for CPU and FPGA platforms, including power converters (AC-DC, DC-DC, DC-AC), MMC models (average models for large-scale systems and switching models for detailed validation), and electrical machines
Developing and maintaining a schematic editor for power systems and power electronics modeling
Ensuring the effective implementation and execution of real-time simulation technical plans
About the ideal candidate:
Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Power Electronics, or a closely related R&D field
At least 10 years of professional experience in power systems, power electronics, or real-time simulation–related R&D
Solid experience with power system, electrical circuit, and power electronics simulation tools (EMTP, PSCAD, PLECS, PSIM, SPICE, Simulink, SABER, etc.)
Solid experience with numerical methods for ODE/DAE-based systems, parallel computing (multi-core CPU, FPGA acceleration) and developing simulation tools or solvers (not only model usage)
Strong C/C++ programming skills and experience developing real-time simulation frameworks or solvers
Experience or strong interest in real-time simulation, including CPU and FPGA execution constraints
Demonstrate strong technical problem-solving ability and experience contributing to new technology development
Huawei aims to support a French-speaking work environment for its employees in Quebec. We have taken steps to avoid requiring a language other than French for this position. However, proficiency in English is essential for this role for the following reasons:
The person will be required to communicate regularly with colleagues located outside Quebec, where English is the primary language used for communication between offices. In addition, the nature of the tasks related to this position, which falls within a highly specialized field of artificial intelligence, also requires knowledge of English.
Skills Required
- Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- At least 10 years of professional experience in power systems or real-time simulation
- Strong C/C++ programming skills
- Experience with power system simulation tools
- Solid experience with numerical methods for ODE/DAE-based systems
What We Do
Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. We are committed to bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. We have approximately 197,000 employees and we operate in over 170 countries and regions, serving more than three billion people around the world. In Canada, Huawei conducts innovative and leading edge research in 5G technologies, along with advanced development of emerging cloud, device and network technologies & services. While our renowned Canada Research Centre in the thriving technology landscape of Ottawa, Ontario continues to grow rapidly in size and strategic product initiatives, additional presence has also been established across Canada with R&D facilities in Vancouver, Edmonton, Waterloo, Markham, Montreal, and a R&D office in Quebec City.
