We are growing our product development team and are now looking for you
Power Electronics Control Engineer
We are looking for a control developer for our power electronics team, who will focus full-time on the development of power quality solutions, such as STATCOM and SVC. In this role, you will develop the control of grid-connected power electronics converters and device characteristics. Your work includes the development and programming of control algorithms, simulation, and verification of solution functionality. You will get to delve deep into electrical engineering principles and bring control methods from theory to practice using simulation software and HIL testing equipment.
You will work in close cooperation with the team and the product manager on concrete problem-solving. Your work combines modeling, simulation, and practical testing: you will develop new features as well as maintain simulation and testing models. Production and testing laboratories are close to your workplace in Ylöjärvi, so you will also see how the solutions you develop work in real devices. You will be able to build your expertise in the growing STATCOM field alongside experienced colleagues.
Who are we looking for?
The key to your success is an engineering mindset: mathematical, analytical, and systematic working approach, as well as the ability to internalize and solve complex entities. You are interested in control engineering and power electronics, want to develop your expertise, and thrive both in independent problem-solving and in collaborative work. We value your desire to learn and share your own expertise.
We hope you have experience in control engineering and the design of control systems. Your experience may have been gained in industry or, for example, in related doctoral studies. You can also be at the beginning of your career if you have a strong theoretical knowledge base for the position and a desire to develop. Your educational background is a suitable university degree, for example, in electrical or automation engineering. The development and simulation of control algorithms are familiar to you. Additionally, we value C/C++ skills as well as familiarity with HIL testing equipment. You will be able to work in English with us, but Finnish language skills are a definite advantage.

Shared goals, high-level expertise, and a passion for technology give us the energy to develop tomorrow's solutions and grow together. With us, your footprint is also visible – we aim high, but keep our feet on the ground.
At Merus Power, you get to develop our own products and see the concrete effects of your own work. You will receive support from experienced colleagues and the opportunity to deepen your expertise in the growing STATCOM field. Our organization is low-hierarchy, and our premises and testing laboratories are located in Ylöjärvi.
