Refrigeration Engineer – Heat Pumps (f/m/div.)

Your contribution to something big:

As our Refrigeration Engineer, you will join our growing R&D; product development team in Aveiro to design, optimize, and validate robust refrigeration circuits for our residential Air-to-Water heat pumps. You will translate complex performance, safety, and cost requirements into high-performing thermodynamic solutions- from initial concept definition to series production ramp-up:

• Develop and optimize refrigeration circuits and core thermodynamic components for residential heat pump outdoor units.
• Perform refrigeration cycle calculations and prepare experimental thermodynamic analyses to support key concept selection and design decisions.
• Create, review, and maintain comprehensive technical specifications for refrigeration components, ensuring compliance with global performance and safety regulations.
• Plan, execute, and evaluate laboratory tests for refrigeration circuits and components, defining robust operating envelopes and system characteristics.
• Conduct failure diagnostics and root-cause analysis on refrigeration loops, defining and implementing corrective actions directly in the laboratory.
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing plants and cross-functional teams during product industrialization, test-bench correlation, and mass production ramp-up.
• Participate in design reviews, safety risk assessments, and FMEA sessions to secure high product quality and reliability.
