The opportunity
Solid-State Transformers (SSTs) are emerging as critical infrastructure for modern data centers, particularly AI facilities, by providing high efficiency (up to 98.5%), compact, and intelligent power management. Unlike conventional transformers, SSTs utilize power electronics to convert medium-voltage grid power directly to 800V DC, significantly reducing footprint, increasing efficiency, and easing grid interconnection.
Join us as a Global Product Specialist – Solid-State Transformers (SSTs) and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of data center supply infrastructure, guiding both Hitachi Energy and clients toward smarter, greener, and more resilient operations.
If you combine a solid understanding of relevant technologies with insight into customer value drivers—and can translate customer needs into actionable requirements that keep our solutions both innovative and aligned with client expectations—then this role is an excellent fit for you.
