Refrigeration Engineer

At Trane Technologies^TM  and through our businesses including Trane^® and Thermo King^®, we create innovative climate solutions for buildings, homes, and transportation that challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world. We're a team that dares to look at the world's challenges and see impactful possibilities. We believe in a better future when we uplift others and enable our people to thrive at work and at home. We boldly go.

You will be working with a multi-disciplinary team of Engineers, developing the new generation of Refrigeration in Transport Business. As a Refrigeration Engineer, you will be in charge of developing the solutions to assure the proper temperature control for Small Truck units.

 

The main responsibilities of the Refrigeration Engineer will be:

·         Lead the development work in the refrigeration side of transport refrigeration systems by delivering the technical solutions to meet the market requirements in time, by means of a previous analytical work, components selection and experimental assessment in later phases until unit is qualified. It will also require scheduling work

·         Define component technical specifications, with metrics more fundamental than those shown in catalogues; like volumetric efficiency, static superheat…, to component suppliers, working with them during development of customized components or selecting among available options. This work covers all the refrigeration components like expansion valves (both TXVs and EEVs), heat exchangers (mainly finned tube coils and microchannel), compressors (hermetic compressors)…

·         To justify the concepts or prototypes proposed for further phases of the design process with analytical data. This may require using existing commercial simulation tools or building basic models with e.g. visual basic, EES, Modelica…

·         Work closely with modelling specialists to participate in: the choice of the most suitable modeling approach or tool, the boundary condition, consistency of results…

·         Work close to the laboratory where the units will be tested as part of the development work, which includes specifying test conditions and requested sensors, continuous contact with the lab team on the tests progress, and finally to lead the analysis of the test data and results.

·         Work with the rest of team members in multidisciplinary projects which have different areas of expertise

·         Work closely with Thermo King current and prospective new suppliers during component qualification which may require overseas travel from time to time

·         Support product management, manufacturing, service, and other cross-functional areas from the refrigeration dimension

The Refrigeration Engineer must have/be:

·         Master degree in mechanical, energy, thermal or industrial engineering. Ph.D. in a related topic to refrigeration or heat transfer is positively considered.

·         Fluent English

·         Strong analytical capabilities, experience using simulation tools and capability to build basic calculation or modeling tools.

·         3-5 years of Experience in development of HVAC&R equipment selecting or designing whole HVAC&R units or some of their components.

·         Experience in R&D projects would be positively considered.
