Job description

Huawei Canada has an immediate 12-month contract opening for a Researcher.

About the team:

The Smart Grid Technology Lab’s research focuses on Power electronics, Energy Management Systems and other Smart Grid Technologies, applying the latest technology to the digital power industry. The lab has become a research organization with many significant industry achievements.

About the job:

  • Developing microgrid including various grid-forming and grid-following inverters and converters.

  • Work under a supervisor with a team of experts to develop a set of power system and control component models for power system EMT simulation.

  • Implementing different grid-forming control strategies, such as droop or VSG and improving them.

  • Implementing different protection strategy for IBRs, such as anti-islanding protection.

  • Developing protection and control algorithms in C/C++ and python.

  • Simulating microgrid in EMTP-RV, PLECS, and/or Simulink.

  • Generating C/C++ code of the simulated model and optimizing it for real-time simulation.

  • Deploying different communication protocols, such as SV, GOOSE, MBUS, and IOT protocols.

  • Working with PLC controller to host the developed algorithm.

  • Converting the developed algorithms in C/C++ and python to .DLL or .EXE files.

Job requirements

About the ideal candidate:

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with a strong publication record.

  • Proficiency with circuit design and simulation tools (e.g., EMTP-RV, PSCAD, etc.)

  • Strong knowledge of microgrids/IBRs and related standards. Strong knowledge of protection of IBRs and their dynamics.

  • Fluent in C/C++ and python. FPGA and/or PLC programming is an asset.

  • Familiar with machine learning and deep learning techniques, such as SVM, CNN.

  • Familiar with communication protocols, such as IEC61850 (SV, Goose, MMS), MODBUS, etc.

  • Familiar with generating .dll and .exe files and working with them.

  • Eager to prepare report documents for patent applications and journal/conference publications.
