Lead System Engineer - HVAC
As a Climatic comfort System Engineer, you are responsible for passenger climatic comfort and for its system integration, made of HVAC, heaters and air distribution mainly. You thus endorse and ensure compliance with the Customer and Certification requirements on this scope by performing the following activities,
Your Responsibilities and activities:
- Specify the climatic comfort performances, at the train level.
- Define (or apply when already defined) the architecture of the function, allocating sub-functions to sub-system.
- Specify the sub-system requirements (HVAC, Heaters), to meet the required performances, achieve the required function and respect multidisciplinary constraints or guidelines (for instance Safety, EMC, Eco-design, Maintenance, Fire safety etc).
- Define the HVAC or heater required thermal performance, define the thermal targets, and budget them to the contributors (through K factor budget a).
- Lead climatic comfort design especially through the CFD computations steering the duct network design and its match with the HVAC.
- Close the loop with the component suppliers, especially the HVAC, on the design compliance with your requirements.
