We are seeking a Senior Thermal Engineer to specialize in the design, development, and validation of air-cooled and water-cooled chillers. This role involves using a strong foundation in thermal sciences to create efficient and compliant HVAC systems, while also supporting cross-functional teams and managing key industry certifications.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and Development of Air-cooled and Water-cooled Chillers, including component sizing, integration, and product validation.
- Conduct thermal design calculations for heat exchangers, chiller components, and piping systems.
- Evaluate and improve performance of screw and centrifugal compressors used in chillers.
- Coordinate AHRI and BEE certification processes for chiller systems.
- Perform chiller performance testing, optimization, and documentation as per global standards.
- Assist in the selection of HVAC system components such as expansion valves, compressors, condensers, and evaporators.
- Support Sales and Service teams with technical guidance and performance data.
- Work with cross-functional teams (design, production, QA) to ensure manufacturability and quality.
- Use selection software and engineering tools to support the sizing and specification of components.
- Ensure compliance with HVAC industry standards such as ASHRAE, AHRI, ISHRAE, and SMACNA.
Skills Required
- Strong fundamentals in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Fluid Mechanics.
- Proficiency in HVAC and thermal system design.
- Working knowledge of heat exchanger design (shell & tube, plate type, etc.).
- Experience in compressor selection and performance analysis (screw & centrifugal).
- Familiarity with AHRI certification protocols, BEE compliance, and relevant codes.
- Experience in chiller performance testing, data interpretation, and troubleshooting.
- Competency in CAD software, preferably CATIA or SolidWorks.
- Knowledge of piping layout, material selection, and pressure drop calculations.
- Good communication and teamwork skills.
