The "brain" of these stations consists of control and protection systems that ensure efficient, safe, and reliable operation.
The control system is modelled and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, following existing functional requirements and internal development standards. Development follows an agile methodology (Scrum framework) with JIRA for backlog management and GitHub for configuration management. Job DescriptionEssential Responsibilities:
- System level requirements and test specifications capture
- Develop, implement, and debug control algorithms for HVDC converter functions (e.g., Power control, converter control, reactive power control and startup/shutdown control) in MATLAB/Simulink as per GE Vernova modelling guidelines.
- Design and implement test harness with automatic assessment to validate at unit level and Model in Loop level.
- Integrate functional blocks in the converter control units based on pre-defined control requirements and interface specifications.
- Participate in code generation workflows using MATLAB Embedded Coder, ensuring compliance with in-house software architecture and coding standards.
- Perform model-in-the-loop (MIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) to validate integration of functions according to the project plan.
- Collaborate with system engineers, functional designers, and testers in agile sprints, ensuring tasks are tracked and documented in JIRA.
- Contribute to peer reviews, unit testing, and integration sessions to ensure model quality and maintainability.
- Manage version control and branching activities through GitHub Enterprise.
Required Qualifications:
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical, Control, or Software Engineering.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in model-based design for control systems using MATLAB/Simulink.
Desired Characteristics:
- Proven experience with HVDC systems or power electronics control, ideally with LCC (CSC) technology.
- Familiarity with HVDC control concepts (firing angle control, power control, reactive power control, protection methods.)
- Experience in code generation (Embedded Coder or TargetLink) and integration of generated code into real-time control platforms, with knowledge in IEC61850.
- Proficiency in version control tools (Git/GitHub) and collaborative workflows (branching, pull requests, merge handling).
- Experience working in agile teams using JIRA or similar tools.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills, attention to detail in model implementation.
- A strong team player with a collaborative approach, capable of working effectively within medium to large-sized teams.
- Good communication skills in English (written and verbal).
- Previous participation in HVDC or FACTS control/protection development projects.
- Familiarity with real-time simulation (HIL platforms like RTDS, OPAL-RT).
- Experience with continuous integration pipelines (MATLAB GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
- Approved Simulink models for assigned functions, compliant with internal guidelines.
- Unit Test evidence and verification reports (MIL/SIL).
- Contribution to system-level integration builds and sprint reviews.
- Weekly progress updates via JIRA sprint dashboards.
