Where is the work:

Monday to Thursday, work onsite with your colleagues. Fridays, choose your work location, balancing what your work requires.

As a Lead Thermal Systems Engineer, you will work as part of our Thermal Systems team and will be responsible for concept development, design and design verification of heat exchanger and fluid flow components for application to global refrigeration products. Typical components are round tube plate fin (RTPF) and micro-channel (MCHE) coils, brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) and shell & tube refrigerant evaporators as well as condensers for commercial HVAC products. Your ability to be creative or innovative and use design tools and apply them to the development and implementation of new heat transfer components will be crucial to enable efficiency increases and greenhouse gas emission reductions for our products. Additionally, you will help mentor other engineers in heat exchanger design and develop to enhance our product offerings.

Core Job Responsibilities (others may be added):

• Mentor other thermal systems and product systems engineers in HVAC design and analysis.
• Lead new technology, productivity and new product development projects to design new products or components and improve the function, reliability or cost of existing products and components.
• Own process and tool development to support design and integration of new heat exchange components within our Commercial HVAC product lines.
• Be a subject matter expert for heat exchangers and participate in technical design reviews outside of your project assignments.
• Drive modeling process improvements for performance and reliability to improve accuracy and speed to enable reduced testing requirements.
• Organize laboratory tests and data analysis to support product design and verification and work with suppliers to obtain component designs that meet product requirements.
• Lead ad hoc teams of engineers and others through short duration projects to support product and technology roadmaps for heat exchangers.
