The Opportunity

At Hitachi Energy our purpose is advancing a sustainable energy future for all. We bring power to our homes, schools, hospitals and factories.  Join us and work with fantastic people, while learning and developing yourself on projects that have a real impact to our communities and society. Bring your passion, bring your energy, and be part of a global team that appreciates a simple truth: Diversity + Collaboration = Great Innovation.

​In this position, you will lead a team of mechanical designers. We are seeking a highly cooperative and empathetic leader who can bridge the gap between technical constraints and challenging customer requirements.

​The ideal candidate is not only a technical authority in PTC Creo, AutoCAD, and Simulation (FEA) but also a visionary who leverages Programming (Coding) and SAP to optimize engineering workflows. Beyond the numbers and designs, you will be a mentor, providing technical and emotional support to your team, reviewing their projects constructively, and ensuring their growth within the framework of Safety, Quality, and On-Time Delivery (SQD).

How you will make an impact

• ​Empathetic Mentorship & Support: Act as a dedicated mentor to your team. Provide hands-on support and guidance when team members face technical bottlenecks or high-pressure project phases.

  
  
  

• ​Constructive Project Review: Conduct supportive reviews of designs and project revisions. Use these reviews as coaching opportunities to enhance the team’s technical skills and project ownership.

  
  
  

• ​Process Automation & Digitalization: Utilize Programming/Coding skills (e.g., Python, VBA, or C#) to automate repetitive design tasks and improve engineering efficiency.

  
  
  

• ​ERP & Lifecycle Management: Manage engineering data and workflows through SAP and PTC Windchill, ensuring seamless integration between design and manufacturing.

  
  
  

• ​Operational Excellence (SQD): Lead by example to ensure all engineering outputs meet the highest standards of Safety, Quality, and On-Time Delivery.

  
  
  

• ​Design & Analysis Oversight: Oversee 3D modeling in PTC Creo, 2D documentation in AutoCAD, and Mechanical Simulations (FEA) to validate product reliability.

  
  
  

• ​Customer-Centric Problem Solving: Act as a technical advisor and shield for the team when navigating demanding customer specifications, finding win-win solutions.

  
  
  

• Managers are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

  
  
  

Your background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is required; a degree in Mechatronics Engineering is considered a plus.

  
  
  

• Minimum of 10 years in mechanical design, specifically within the transformer or heavy industrial sector.

  
  
  

• Advanced proficiency in PTC Creo and AutoCAD is mandatory.​Solid knowledge of Simulation/FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, Creo Simulate).

  
  
  

• ​Experience with SAP (ERP) for engineering and production workflows.​Programming/Coding skills (e.g., Python, VBA, or similar) for engineering automation.​Professional experience with PTC Windchill (PLM) and Microsoft Office.

  
  
  

• ​Strong cooperative and supportive mindset. We value leaders who prioritize team well-being and professional development alongside technical success. Proven ability to deliver creative solutions for non-standard, complex customer requests.
