Our mission is to reimagine building performance to serve people, places, and the planet. As a member of the Advanced Aero-Mechanical Engineering Team, you will play a key role in developing next-generation centrifugal compressor technologies used in industry-leading HVAC and refrigeration systems. This position combines aerodynamic design, advanced simulation, and data-driven engineering methods to improve compressor performance, reliability, and efficiency. The successful candidate will contribute to compressor development through aerodynamic design, CFD analysis, design optimization, and the application of emerging technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). You will help advance engineering methodologies, support global product development programs, and drive innovation in compressor design. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer seeking technical growth, increased leadership responsibility, and the opportunity to influence future design processes and engineering tools. ### Duties and Responsibilities Design, analyze, and optimize centrifugal compressors and related flow-path components using in-house and commercial engineering tools. Develop and improve aerodynamic design methodologies, simulation processes, and performance prediction capabilities. Investigate and implement advanced technologies and optimization techniques, including AI, ML, and automated design workflows. Support compressor development programs from concept through validation, including design reviews, testing, and performance analysis. Collaborate with test lab personnel to plan, build, instrument, and evaluate prototype hardware. Support the development and implementation of new compressor components, manufacturing methods, and assembly processes. Drive product and process improvements focused on performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost reduction. Coordinate development and prototyping activities to support engineering programs and product investigations. Provide technical guidance to technicians, operators, and cross-functional project teams. Support global engineering and manufacturing operations through collaboration and occasional international travel. Participate in customer visits and technical discussions as required. Perform other duties as assigned. ### Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline. 3-5 years of experience in compressors or other rotating equipment, or aerodynamic component design; alternatively, MSc or PhD in the same fields Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and turbomachinery fundamentals. Experience with CFD software such as ANSYS CFX, Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or equivalent tools. Experience analyzing simulation and test data to support engineering decisions and product development. Proficiency with engineering programming and data analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, or similar platforms. Working knowledge of CAD systems and the ability to extract dimensional and assembly information from 3D models. Strong mechanical aptitude with hands-on experience in assembly, testing, troubleshooting, or prototype development. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and contribute effectively within cross-functional teams. Strong verbal and written communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. ### Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Experience with aerodynamic optimization, parametric studies, and design-of-experiments methodologies. Knowledge of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, surrogate modeling, or other data-driven engineering techniques. Experience developing engineering automation tools, scripts, or digital workflows. Experience working with large experimental, simulation, or operational datasets. Experience with centrifugal compressor design and performance mapping. What You'll Work On Advanced centrifugal compressor aerodynamic design CFD-driven product development and optimization AI-assisted compressor performance prediction ML-based design and testing methodologies Digital engineering and workflow automation initiatives New refrigerant compressor technologies High-efficiency and sustainable HVAC solutions Growth Opportunities Successful candidates will have opportunities to: Become technical leaders in compressor aerodynamics and turbomachinery. Lead advanced design and optimization initiatives. Drive the adoption of AI and ML technologies within product development. Collaborate with universities, industry experts, and research organizations. Expand into technical leadership, project leadership, or engineering management roles. Influence future engineering tools, processes, and product strategies. Why Join Us? You will join a team that combines deep engineering expertise with emerging digital technologies to redefine how compressors are designed, optimized, and validated. If you are passionate about aerodynamics, innovation, and applying advanced analytical and AI-based tools to solve complex engineering challenges, we encourage you to apply.
