Introduction

Power Electronics Engineer (power and control electronics development) in the CERN Technology Department (TE), Electrical Power Converter Group (EPC), High Power Converter Section (HPC).

You will join the High Power Converter section (HPC) within the Electrical Power Converter group (TE-EPC), responsible for design, construction, procurement, installation, maintenance and operation of power converters in the high power range, from several MW up to 150 MW. In addition, the section is responsible for several 18 kV Static Var Compensators for reactive power compensation.

For environmental reasons, CERN intends to replace a large number of its power converter transformers by modern cast-resin types.

Functions

As a Power electronics engineer you will be responsible for the converter transformer consolidation programme, with the objective to replace large numbers of existing transformers by modern cast-resin types. For this project, you will:

.In cooperation with the CERN physics community, define and document the required technical performance ratings for the power converter renovation.

.Conduct system design studies and computer simulations to optimize the performance of power converters.

.Draw up technical specifications for new cast-resin transformers and other power converter components, ensure the follow-up of manufacturing and testing activities in the framework of industrial contracts.

.Ensure the effective reception and commissioning tests of the cast-resin transformers, and their integration into the power converter environment.

.Integrate new control electronics into power converters.

.Participate in the operation and maintenance of power converters.

Qualification required

Master's degree in the field of Power Electronics or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.

Experience and competencies

The experience required for this post is:

.Initial experience of Power Electronics in the power level of 10 kW up to several MW.

.Initial experience of system analysis, computer modelling and design calculations for power converters.

.Initial experience of project management and industrial contract management would be an advantage.

.Experience of operation, commissioning or maintenance of power systems would be an advantage.

The technical competencies required for this post are:

.Analysis and modelling in power electronics: (PSIM, Matlab, etc).

.Design of high power systems (> 1 MW).
