Job description

The opportunity

At Hitachi Energy, design is more than drawings-it's how ideas become reliable, high-quality power solutions. As an Electrical Design Engineer you'll be at the center of engineering projects that move from concept to production. You'll translate requirements into practical designs, balance quality, cost, and schedule, and collaborate with a wide range of partners to bring solutions to life.

This role offers the chance to work with advanced engineering tools, contribute to both standard and special designs, and influence continuous improvement across products and processes. You'll take ownership of complex tasks, solve real-world challenges, and see the direct impact of your work on customers and operations. If you enjoy working independently while staying closely connected to a collaborative team, this is an opportunity to grow your expertise and your career in a purpose-driven organization shaping the future of energy.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Jackson, MS. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Jackson compares. Among the 60 largest places in Mississippi, Jackson is #1 by population, #2 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #11 for remote work (#1 = most), #49 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Hinds County, is #4 of 82 counties for average pay ($59,413).

The place in numbers

Jackson has 146,631 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 5.0% of the population of Mississippi. It covers 112 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 1,313 people per square mile. The median age is 34.5, 11% younger than the state median (34.5 against 38.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,055 a month (rent plus utilities), 11% above the state median ($1,055 against $954). Over a year that is 30.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so rent here is above that line for the typical household. The median home value is $111,700, which is 2.7 times the median household income ($42,071); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 48.6% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (48.6% against 70.0%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Jackson, MS metropolitan area has 270,730 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $42,850 a year, 16% below the national median ($42,850 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (32,750 jobs, median $39,830); transportation and material moving (26,210 jobs, median $38,130); sales and related (23,800 jobs, median $31,890). The area is most specialised in healthcare practitioners and technical (1.4 times) and protective service (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($99,730) and healthcare practitioners and technical ($73,840). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Hinds County was 3.5%. 60.3% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Hinds County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 73.3% drive alone, 0.4% use public transit, 2.0% walk, 8.8% work from home. 4.4% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 70% below the state average (4.4% against 14.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

28.8% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 15% above the state share (28.8% against 25.1%). 1.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 36% below the state share (1.6% against 2.4%). The poverty rate is 27.9%, 48% above the state rate (27.9% against 18.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 82°F (27.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 44°F (6.8°C). About 1,456 mm (57 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Feb is the wettest month (146 mm) and Sep the driest (98 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
