Telescope Services

Join us in greeting our new colleague, Paulo Gonçalves, an Electrical Design Engineer from Brazil, now settled in Västerås, Sweden. When asked about his first association with Brazil and why we should visit, Paulo enthusiastically highlighted its beautiful nature, lush forests, diverse wildlife, and rich culinary landscape.

Paulo finds Sweden, even in smaller cities like Västerås, to be surprisingly international, with a strong English-speaking community that makes it welcoming for newcomers worldwide. This cosmopolitan atmosphere is crucial for him as it mirrors the warmth and inclusivity of his native Brazil.

At our client Hitachi, where Paulo contributes his expertise, he focuses on electrical plant design, specializing in routing cableways and integrating complex systems within HVDC networks. His role is critical in optimizing energy conversion and transmission processes, showcasing his meticulous approach to integrating civil, mechanical, and electronic engineering solutions.

Paulo is deeply grateful for the outstanding support from the Telescope team, who have been instrumental in helping him and his wife find an apartment and acclimate to the local culture. Their assistance extended to a fun trip to IKEA, where Paulo and his wife were able to comfortably select furnishings for their new home. Additionally, Telescope has taken great care to ensure all work-related needs are met by providing all the essential equipment.

In free time, Paulo rekindles his passion for music through playing the acoustic guitar and explores Västerås and its surroundings by mountain biking. These activities not only help him connect with the landscape but also with the community.  Given the number of musically talented Brazilian engineers at Telescope, we’re playfully considering the formation of a ‘Telescope Orchestra’—it might just be the perfect blend of music and science!

Welcome to Sweden, Paulo! Here’s to new beginnings and a shared journey ahead full of discovery and collaboration!
