Heat Transfer/Development Engineer

1. Lead the development of HVAC fundamentals and underlying technical theories, especially: heat transfer & heat exchangers, thermodynamic vapor compression refrigeration cycle, single and two-phase fluid flow, and associated test and computational analysis methods.
2. Maintain/develop engineering application tools for theoretical component models of heat exchangers, including: single and two phase fluids, enhanced surface technology, non-uniform distribution effects, fouling, influence of ancillary fluids (refrigerant oils), condensate and frost management, and application of alternative working fluids. Effect implementation of mathematical models into software tools. Coordinate verification testing.
3. Maintain/develop computational engineering tools using appropriate integration of theoretical models for overall systems to calculate and balance: compressor performance rating maps; heat exchanger performance; fluid dynamics (single and two-phase flow); losses through headers, pipe, fittings, and other devices; transient state conditions resulting from condensate or frost; etc. Effect implementation of mathematical models into software tools. Collaborate with Project Engineers on verification testing.
4. Collaborate or coordinate efforts necessary to maintain compliance with agencies such as UL, DOE, and AHRI.
5. Provide technical input, work direction, and otherwise collaborate with 3rd party programmers to develop and refine vapor compression cycle and heat transfer computational simulation tools and models to: execute product development scenarios, acquire or reduce test data, and produce accurate product performance ratings.
6. Provide leadership to direct the activities of technical personnel assigned to Projects, including: Lab Technicians, Test Engineers, Designers, or BOM Configuration programmers.
7. Drive partnerships between Sales, Marketing, Applications, Manufacturing, Lab personnel, and Project Engineers to deliver engineering solutions
8. Stay abreast of emerging technologies & maintain technical competency in relevant subject matter areas via industry relationships, professional associations (CEEE, ASHRAE, AHRI), & technical publications to maintain awareness of basic research activities, materials or processes, working fluids, regulatory implications, & supplier or competitive actions.
