R&D Expert- Power System Simulation and Intelligent Control

About the Company

We are working with the R&D Center of a Global Leading Tech Company with over 100,000 researchers across global innovation hubs. They are specialised in breakthroughs in AI, 5G/6G, semiconductors, power systems, cloud computing, and next-gen computing architectures etc.

What You'll Own:

You'll be the technical lead powering our innovation in grid stability, intelligent control, and simulation tech - from vision to implementation. You'll drive deep research, prototype breakthrough algorithms, and embed AI into critical energy infrastructure.

What you will do:

• Lead from the Front: Shape the roadmap for simulation and control strategies across new power systems and microgrids. Your vision will steer our system-level breakthroughs.
• Architect the Future Grid: Own the design and development of grid stability algorithms, protection strategies, and intelligent control systems - and deliver N+X innovation advantage.
• Fuse AI + Power Systems: Champion the integration of AI for dynamic stability analysis, simulation-driven optimization, and predictive control models.
• Engineer with Precision: Optimize for performance, safety, and reliability while stress-testing models through rigorous risk validation and verification.

What You Bring:

• PhD or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, Automation, or related field.
• 5+ years in renewable energy, grid systems, or power system R&D.
• Proven expertise designing advanced control algorithms and grid intelligence systems; experience in deploying AI in real-world energy applications a major plus.
• Deep knowledge of grid architecture: source-network-load-storage, comms, coordination control, protection & monitoring.
• Skilled in simulation platforms: PSSE, DIgSILENT, PSCAD, RTLAB, MATLAB - plus a strong foundation in power electronics and algorithm engineering.
• Visionary mindset, collaborative, multicultural communicator with sharp storytelling and stakeholder influence.
• Mandarin and English are a must to handle internal and external stakeholders.
