• Strong practical understanding of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and heat-transfer principles.
• Knowledge of Python, MATLAB or C++.

Responsibilities

• Analyze heat exchanger technologies (shell-and-tube, flooded, falling-film, direct-expansion, brazed-plate, fin-and-tube, microchannel).
• Perform thermal and fluid-flow analyses to optimize system performance.
• Develop analytical and numerical models for major components used in existing and new products.
• Use engineering simulation tools to evaluate fluid flow, heat transfer, and thermal performance.
• Support product development teams in resolving system-level heat-transfer issues.
• Plan, conduct and analyze prototype and system-performance testing.
• Interpret test data and recommend design improvements.
• Assist with component selection and collaborate with suppliers on new concepts.
• Prepare clear technical documentation, reports and recommendations.
• Manage multiple assignments while meeting timelines and quality expectations.
