  • Collaborate with internal teams and represent Hitachi Energy in customer meetings.
  • Contribute to improving software development processes and technical documentation.
  • Travel occasionally to support global customer projects.
  • Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
