Job Description

We are looking for a visionary Lead HVAC/R Modeling Engineer to drive the design and optimization of our next-generation systems. In this role, you won't just run simulations- you will architect the core systems (refrigeration, electrical, and engine integration) that power our future product line.

If you are a technical expert who loves translating complex data into real-world performance and enjoy mentoring the next generation of engineering talent, we want to talk to you.

Your Impact & Purpose

• Champion the Tech: Act as the lead technical authority and mentor for all HVAC/R modeling activities, elevating the capabilities of the entire engineering team
• Architect the Future: Collaborate closely on system architecture analysis, ensuring our designs are robust, innovative, and scalable
• Drive Excellence: Develop detailed, high-performance system designs that consistently hit and exceed our critical KPIs

What You’ll Do

• Advanced Simulation: Model complex sub-systems, components, and full-scale HVAC/R systems from the ground up
• Data Validation: Bridge the gap between theory and reality by developing physics-based models and validating them against rigorous real-world test data
• Cross-Functional Deployment: Deploy cutting-edge component and system studies across a diverse portfolio of HVAC/R applications
• Continuous Optimization: Refine and perfect thermal, electrical, and mechanical system interactions to maximize efficiency

Minimum Qualifications

• Master’s degree with 7 + years of professional hands-on experience in HVAC/R system modeling and simulation

OR

• Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of professional hands-on experience in HVAC/R system modeling and simulation

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Master in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Thermal Engineering
• Extensive experience designing and modeling HVAC/R systems for commercial, industrial, transportation, or off-highway applications
• Deep expertise in refrigeration cycles and vapor compression systems
• Experience integrating thermal, electrical, refrigeration, and engine/powertrain systems
• Experience with system architecture development and trade-off analysis
• Proven technical leadership experience leading complex engineering projects
• Experience mentoring and developing junior engineers
• Knowledge of controls, system optimization, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE)
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to HVAC/R systems
• Experience working in new product development from concept through validation and production
• Strong project management and stakeholder communication skills
• Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE), optimization techniques, and data analytics for system performance improvement
