The Impact You'll Make

You’ll help shape the next generation of high-efficiency compressor technologies that power more sustainable cooling solutions worldwide. Your expertise in aero-thermal engineering, testing, and design will directly influence product performance, innovation, and energy efficiency.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead the experimental and theoretical evaluation of centrifugal compressor performance, helping drive product innovation and efficiency improvements.
  • Develop and execute compressor performance test plans, while overseeing testing activities in laboratory environments to ensure high-quality results.
  • Analyze aero-thermal test data, generate performance maps, and create technical reports that support product development and future engineering decisions.
  • Design and optimize new compressor products using CFD, CAD, and meanline analysis tools, translating engineering concepts into robust solutions.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance testing capabilities, laboratory processes, and engineering methodologies that improve product validation and development outcomes.

What We're Looking For

  • Master’s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in advanced fluid mechanics and the design of industrial centrifugal compressors.
  • Hands-on experience with 1D meanline design tools (such as COMPAL) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software such as CFX or NUMECA.
  • Strong knowledge of CAD/CAE tools, aero-thermal analysis, and engineering product development processes.
  • Effective communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Experience with compressor or chiller testing and refrigeration cycle analysis is valued.

What You'll Get From Us

  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
