Development Engineer - Materials (m/f/div.)

Your contribution to something big:

You will contribute to an industrial research project focused on the investigation and characterization of sustainable materials for air-to-water heat pump applications. You will combine experimental work, data analysis, and model-based methods to evaluate materials and components, supporting the development of improved acoustic and functional performance. Your main responsibilities will be: 

• Material Investigation & Characterization: Investigate, characterize, and analyze materials for heat pump applications, evaluating relevant material properties and their potential impact on system performance. 
• Acoustic Characterization: Perform acoustic characterization of materials and components, assessing their behaviour and contribution to the acoustic performance of heat pump systems. 

• Sustainability Assessment: Investigate and assess material sustainability based on available databases, material properties, and applicable sustainability requirements. 

• Simulation & Model-Based Methods: Apply model-based methods and simulation tools to analyse and support improvements in acoustic performance. 

• Experimental Testing: Prepare experimental setups, perform testing activities, and carry out data acquisition to support material and component evaluation. 

• Test Planning: Define and elaborate structured test plans and experiments to evaluate the acoustic properties and performance of components used in heat pump systems. 

• Data Analysis & Documentation: Analyse experimental and simulation data and prepare clear technical documentation, translating results into relevant insights to support engineering decisions.
