Job description

Location: Krakow, Lesser Poland, PolandJob ID: R0100206Date Posted: 2025-07-22Company Name: HITACHI ENERGY POLAND SP. Z O.O.Profession (Job Category): Engineering & ScienceJob Schedule: Full timeRemote: NoJob Description:The OpportunityWe are offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ‘MAGNIFY’ (Grant Agreement No. 101226760). This research will be conducted under joint supervision by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, and Hitachi Energy, Poland, with the PhD degree awarded by UPM.The project focuses on developing improved and cost-effective EMC filter magnetics and accurate high-frequency (HF) simulation models. You will explore magnetic model extensions up to 100 MHz, integrate HF materials into differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM) filters, and analyze parasitic effects, winding geometries, and loss mechanisms.This position is hosted at our Krakow office (Poland) within a global R&D organization.You will be part of a dynamic, international research environment, with secondments to leading institutions across Europe. Apart from Krakow office assingment the rotations will include:

• HIT (Switzerland) – Prior-art review and EMC study of magnetic systems (Months 9–10)

• UPM (Madrid) – Advanced magnetic model extension techniques (Months 17–19)

• TAU (Finland) – Testing filters with WBG-based power converters (Months 26–28)

How You Will Make an Impact

• Design and model advanced EMC filter magnetics for high-frequency applications.

• Extend magnetic models to EMC frequency ranges (up to 100 MHz).

• Integrate HF materials and optimize winding geometries for DM and CM filters.

• Analyze parasitic effects and perform accurate loss calculations.

• Collaborate with international research teams and contribute to the development of next-generation power electronics.

• Participate in specialized doctoral training and international conferences.

Your BackgroundWe are looking for passionate, motivated, and communicative researchers who:

• Hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computer Science, or a related field (top 5% academic performance).

• Have knowledge of power electronics and magnetic components (preferred).

• Are skilled in modelling, simulation, and programming (e.g., MATLAB, Ansys).

• Have experience with laboratory equipment, prototyping, and testing (a plus).

• Demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, self-motivation, and continuous learning.

• Are eager to work in a collaborative international environment.

• English proficiency (spoken and written).

If you are interested in this role, please apply and attach documents:

• A concise CV
• A motivation letter
• Transcripts of your Bachelor and Master
• At least 2 references which we will contact

More About UsAs part of our team, you will benefit from:

• A Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD scholarship with a competitive monthly grant.

• Additional living and travel allowances, and family allowance.

• Access to advanced laboratory facilities and cutting-edge technologies.

• Opportunities to collaborate in interdisciplinary research and attend international conferences.

• A comprehensive benefits package supporting your financial, physical, and mental well-being.
