Sr Engineer - Cooling Sub-System

Job Summary


Responsibilities

1. Thermal Design Development

• Lead design activities for cooling subsystems, including oil coolers, aftercoolers, combined coolers, air-cooled heat exchangers, and heat recovery systems.
• Execute thermal sizing and components selection for heat exchangers, fans, blowers, ducts, and associated cooling hardware.
• Optimize sub-system metrics including thermal performance, package footprint, pressure drop, reliability, power consumption and total cost.

2. Thermal Analysis Simulation

• Develop and validate thermal models using tools such as HTRI and GT-SUITE.
• Conduct advanced studies covering heat transfer analysis, flow distribution, airflow optimization, pressure drop calculations, and system resistance modelling.
• Correlate simulation predictions with empirical test data to drive continuous design improvements.

3. Product Validation Testing

• Formulate Design Verification plans and comprehensive thermal validation strategies.
• Analyze test results to identify root causes and resolve thermal performance issues.

4. Project Technical Leadership

• Own thermal engineering activities across new product development (NPD) and sustaining engineering projects.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with global engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing, sourcing, and quality functions.
• Mentor New Engineers and provide technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle.
• Present technical findings and strategic recommendations to project stakeholders and leadership.

5. Supplier Customer Engagement

• Partner with suppliers of heat exchangers, fans, and blowers to co-develop optimized solutions.
• Review technical submissions including supplier designs, validation reports, and manufacturing documentation.
• Support customer discussions regarding technical cooling performance and boundary requirements.

6. Regulatory Compliance Support

• Ensure design compliance with global standards and regulations, including ASME BPVC, PED, CRN, NR-13, CE, and ISO standards.
• Support regional compliance and certification activities.

Mandatory Requirements

• Deep technical knowledge of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, applied thermal systems, thermodynamics, and psychrometry.
• Proven track record in air mover selection and thermal testing/validation.
• Hands-on experience with shell-and-tube, bar-and-plate, brazed plate, and finned-tube heat exchangers design.
• Proficiency in system modelling using HTRI and GT-SUITE software.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Desired Skills

• Customer-focused approach to technical problem-solving.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions independently.
• Familiarity with project management methodologies and risk assessment capabilities.
• Ability to thrive in a matrixed, global, cross-functional environment.

Education Experience

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with Thermal Engineering Experience (Minimum 8 years)
• Master's degree in Thermal Engineering with Thermal Engineering Experience (Minimum 6 years)
