Job Description
Role & Responsibilities:
As part of a multi-functional development team, major responsibility will include Technical Governance of projects for the Temperature Control team.
Lead associated technical planning, theoretical analysis, simulation, evaluation, reviews, approvals, and implementation.
Collaborate with global validation teams to facilitate validation of the design and come up with alternate designs solutions for the thermal related subsystems or systems.
Closely partner with component suppliers and relevant agencies to ensure the qualification of components or subsystems. Additionally, work alongside the manufacturing team during various builds, adhering to the product development lifecycle
Independently lead large program design reviews representing the system.
Specialist in core domain areas. Ability to give estimates with minimal error.
Build and implement validation plans. Mentor engineers on domain and process. Focus on documentation and standard works for design trace.
Review test/evaluation data, derive conclusion, suggest opportunities and next course of action. Proactively considers means of setting success landmarks by accurate test planning.
Skills and Proficiencies:
Excellent understanding of design and validation of Vapor compression systems
Experience working with system and component level Agency requirements-for thermal subsystems, not limited to but comprising of UL, IEC standards. In detail understanding of agency protocols.
Experience in selections and sizing based on performance and reliability requirements for sealed system or heating components.
Based on product specification, develop concept design and conduct design calculations
Drives design optimization & helps build design alternates based on foreseeable design limitations
Visualizes product as whole. Understands different component interactions & derives component behavior scenarios. Proficient in System Integration.
Expertise on VCRS systems (cooling/heating/single stage/ cascaded) and acquaintance with other refrigeration technologies (Thermoelectric, Absorption systems, Stirling engines, TEC, Stirling, Thermosyphons and heat pipes etc)
Expertise in Refrigeration and Heat transfer principles
Component and system level Design (System balancing, Compressor, Fans, cap tube/TXV, Airflow deign, water management, Energy management, Power budget, Micro-channel/ brazed plate/ fin and tube/spiral, cold wall, etc)
Detailed experience on sizing selection, qualification, and implementation of components (Compressors, HX, Metering devices, Filters/Receivers, Valves, Fans, Plumbing etc.)
Hands on with building DFMEA’s, pFMEA and conducting risk assessment.
Expertise in DOE and COV plans during builds and verification
Lead design simulations (like CFD, load calculations, sizing & selection) for system integration
Experience or fair understanding of fluid and plumbing systems. Conversant with pumps, motors, valves, and other components
Conduct technical Reviews and governance for Temperature Control team
Review and approval of End of line reports, root cause non confirming units.
Continuous support to internal and external team on queries, suggestions needed and issue resolution (Service, Quality, Manufacturing, Customer etc.)
Change control- Test plan, records & change order review and approvals with mentorship to the team
