We are looking for a Thermodynamic Design Engineer to join our technical team for the development and optimization of industrial CO₂ refrigeration systems. The selected candidate will be responsible for the thermodynamic design of refrigeration units, analyzing refrigeration cycles, selecting key components, and contributing to the improvement and industrialization of the systems. Prior experience specifically with CO₂ is not strictly required — we will provide a dedicated training path to support the learning process. The role involves constant interaction with the mechanical and electrical departments, as well as active participation in technical validation and project documentation.
Thermodynamic Design Engineer
- Engineering Degree or PHD in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or related fields
- Previous experience in the refrigeration sector is not strictly required but appreciated.
- Knowledge of refrigeration cycles, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer principles
- Familiarity with CO₂ systems is appreciated, but not strictly required
- Familiarity in technical drawing software (e.g., AutoCAD) is appreciated
- Good command of English (written and spoken)
- Familiarity with programming tools such as Python or VBA is not required but would be highly appreciated, especially for process automation.
- Ability to work in a team, under pressure, and with a structured and methodical approach.
- Proactive approach to technical challenges
Responsibilities and deliverables include
- Manage the development of the project from order intake to the completion of the technical file, including the drafting of the P&ID and the Bill of Materials (BOM).
- Prepare and update the technical documentation, including the technical file
- Select and size thermodynamic components (e.g. compressors, heat exchangers, valves)
- Collaborate with mechanical and electrical design teams throughout the project lifecycle
- Support product industrialization, focusing on performance, reliability, and efficiency
- Contribute to R&D activities for new technologies and solutions in sustainable refrigeration
- Participate in technical reviews, system validation, and testing activities
- Interface with suppliers to evaluate and integrate new components
- Support and follow PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) certification activities throughout the project lifecycle.
