Analyze and process aero-thermal test data, developing performance maps and rating tools/programs (CPR) to translate results into actionable insights

Recommend and support improvements to compressor testing methods, lab capability, and data workflows to increase quality and throughput

Document results in clear technical reports and share findings with cross-functional stakeholders for future reference and continuous learning

What We're Looking For

A Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.

Hands-on experience applying advanced fluid mechanics in real engineering environments.

Background in designing or optimizing centrifugal compressors for industrial applications.

Practical experience with tools such as CFD (e.g., CFX, NUMECA), 1D mean-line codes (e.g., COMPAL), and CAD/CAE software.

Someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and pays strong attention to detail.

Preferred

3+ years of experience applying advanced fluid mechanics in engineering practice

3+ years of hands-on experience designing industrial centrifugal compressors

Experience with refrigeration system thermal cycle analysis

Hands-on experience with compressor or chiller testing in a laboratory environment

Experience contributing to improvements or optimization of compressor testing setups or lab capabilities
