Avenue du Parc Montreal Quebec HN X Canada Huawei Technologies Canada Co. Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year
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 grid integration technologies for 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, improving them, and implementing

    different protection strategies for IBRs, such as anti-islanding protection.

  • Developing protection and control algorithms in C/C++ and Python, and converting the developed algorithms in C/C++ and Python to DLL or .EXE files.

  • Simulating microgrid in EMTP, 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 the PLC controller to host the developed algorithm.

Job requirements

About the ideal candidate:

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

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

  • Strong knowledge of microgrids/IBRs and related standards, and a strong understanding of the 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 and CNN.

  • Familiar with communication protocols, such as IEC61850 (SV, Goose, MMS), MODBUS, etc., and generating .dll and .exe files and working with them.

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

Huawei aims to support a French-speaking work environment for its employees in Quebec. We have taken steps to avoid requiring a language other than French for this position. However, proficiency in English is essential for this role for the following reasons:

The person will be required to communicate regularly with colleagues located outside Quebec, where English is the primary language used for communication between offices. In addition, the nature of the tasks related to this position, which falls within a highly specialized field of artificial intelligence, also requires knowledge of English.
