Senior R&D Engineer, Design

We’re looking for people who put their innovation to work to advance our success – and their own. Join an organization that ensures a more secure world through connecting and protecting our customers with inventive electrical solutions.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN THIS POSITION:

• Analyze and perform component- and system-level simulations for various industrial cooling systems, including industrial air conditioners, air-to-air heat exchangers, and cooling distribution units (liquid-to-air, liquid-to-liquid, etc.), along with their sub-systems such as heat exchangers, fans, and pumps.
• Conduct comprehensive thermal analysis of various sub-systems, to identify areas for improvement to optimize the products. Ensure efficient and optimized system architecture, working alongside CFD engineers thermal architects, and test engineers.
• Plan for prototype and create DOE for thermal testing and validation of systems and sub-systems.
• Work closely with CAD designers, and mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers to develop a refined product, that meets customer specifications and guidelines
• Analyze test data, identify issues, propose new designs, and corrective actions, working along with manufacturing engineers
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship in the areas of thermal science and fluid mechanics.
• Collaborate with Engineering Project Leaders and stakeholders to align on tasks’ scope, timelines, objectives, and completion.
• Drive work independently while managing ambiguity, and be proactive in managing and communicating risk.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and trends in liquid cooling system designs, via attending various conferences internal and external.
• Drive innovation through research, development, and implementation of cutting-edge solutions.

YOU MUST HAVE:

• B.E/ B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Masters in Thermal Engineering or related engineering field, with deep understanding of basics of Thermodynamics & Fluid Mechanics.
• 5–7 years of experience as a Mechanical or Thermal Engineer, with over 4 years of direct industry experience in the thermal and mechanical design of data center air/liquid cooling systems. Alternatively, experience in the thermal/mechanical design of HVAC products such as residential and commercial air conditioners, chillers, rooftop units, air handlers, and transport refrigeration systems is also acceptable.
• Experience or working knowledge of various types of heat exchangers, including liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid systems, along with component-level simulation expertise.
• Hands-on experience with one or more component and system-level modeling tools such as Coil Designer, VapCyc, Dymola, OpenModelica, Macroflow or other commercially available simulation platforms is essential.
• Proficiency in programming tools such as EES, MATLAB, Visual Basic (VBA), or Python for large-scale data analysis is an added advantage.
• Working knowledge of various types of pumps (centrifugal, turbine, lobe, screw pumps), fans is a plus.
• Experience in result analysis and using tools such as ANSYS Fluent/ Icepak/ FloTherm/ Thermal Desktop or other similar tools, for analyzing various cooling & heating systems, and able to summarize conclusions is a plus.
• Proficiency in design using 3D CAD software tools such as SolidWorks/ Creo/ CATIA is a plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
