Valves Converter are large and complex structures, with typical dimensions of several metres in each direction and weighing many tens of tonnes. The design and the development of such converters is technically challenging and involves a variety of engineering disciplines, contribution through teamwork and an innovative approach.
The role gives an excellent opportunity for a motivated candidate to innovate, expand their design skill and personal development within an internationally recognised company in this exciting field.Job Description
Responsibilities:
• Mechanical development and analysis of power electronic converter valves
for HVDC
• Perform mechanical engineering calculations and simulations, with a focus on stress analysis of solids.
• Application of specifications into key components such as structural steel and composites, cooling systems, corona shields & insulators to capture and
translate design intent to stakeholders.
• Support industrialisation, site works and commissioning.
• Issue drawings.
• Issue documentation.
• Carry out validation and contribute to reporting of tests.
• Innovation of new technical ideas for patent applications.
• Integration with other engineering departments for product development and
project teams.
• Industrialisation of the validated design by interacting with stakeholders.
• Actively broadening and deepening HVDC knowledge and sharing specialised
expertise to other engineers of any level.
• Strict adherence to standards and legislation.
• Promotion and adherence to EHS policies within the team.
• Occasional global travel for product validations and supply chain integration +
site support.
Skills and Experience:
• Good understanding of the application of mechanical engineering principles
such as stress analysis and calculations
• Familiarity with the application of FEA tools, such as Creo Simulate or Ansys
• Proficient with 3D CAD tools, preferably Creo 4.0 or over and Windchill PDMlink

• Aware of industrialisation constraints
• Familiar with detail manufacturing drawings and drawings templates.
• Aware of requirements capture principles.
• Competent specification & report writing such as technical notes.
• Aware of EHS compliance in design and engineering.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
Advantageous:
• Ambition to work towards professional registration.
• Prior experience of the design of electrical transmission equipment or power
electronics equipment.
• Prior experience of design for manufacture.
• Site experience of installation, commissioning and/or maintenance.
• Evidence of sharing knowledge and experience.
Specific Abilities
• Able to work to deadlines with high quality.
• Good technical communication.
• Attention to detail.
