About The Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Mechanical Engineer to join our Advanced Technology Group, focusing on the commercial HVAC segment. This role involves developing and validating next-generation HVACR technologies with a focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance. The ideal candidate will be passionate about emerging technologies, system-level design, and solving complex thermal and mechanical challenges.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Experience with scientific programming (example: Python, VBA, EES, MATLAB, or C++).
Familiarity with HVACR system architecture and components.
Strong foundation in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
Hands-on experience with prototyping, lab testing, and data analysis.
Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced R&D environment.
Effective communication and technical writing skills.

Nice To Haves

Master’s or Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.
Previous work experience in HVACR, thermal systems, or product development in a related industry.
Knowledge of low-GWP refrigerants, decarbonization strategies, and energy codes.
Patents or publications in relevant technical areas.

Responsibilities

Lead and support the mechanical design, analysis, and prototyping of advanced HVACR components and systems (e.g., compressors, heat exchangers, fans, enclosures).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (controls, electrical, materials, software) to develop integrated solutions.
Conduct feasibility studies, concept development, and performance simulations (CFD, FEA, thermodynamic models).
Evaluate new materials, design approaches, and processes to enhance product performance and manufacturability.
Develop and execute test plans for lab validation and performance characterization.
Participate in technical reviews, design for manufacturability (DFM), and risk assessment (FMEA).
Work closely with external research institutions, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to drive innovation.
Maintain awareness of industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes (e.g., low-GWP refrigerants, DOE standards).
Document technical work through reports, specifications, and intellectual property (patents, invention disclosures).
