Dynamic Modeler Engineer
Carrier is the world’s leader in high-technology heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration solutions and is investing in next-generation modeling solutions to predict the thermodynamic performance of HVAC and refrigeration systems. Modeling software developed by the HVAC/R Design & Sales Software team is used globally for the design of advanced, high-efficiency, environmentally friendly air conditioning products and systems.
As we’re expanding our team located in Charlotte, NC, we’re looking for a talented, highly motivated, and results-driven leading engineer with expertise in thermo-fluid modeling and simulation. The main responsibility of the ideal candidate will be the development, software implementation, and testing of physics-based models of HVAC/R components (e.g., heat exchangers, compressors, and pumps) and systems, providing technical leadership to global modeling engineers. Models will be part of our suite of model libraries and software tools.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and develop physics-based thermo-fluid models of HVAC components, including refrigerant properties and correlations for dynamic state simulation
- Integrate and compose component models into HVAC equipment system models
- Perform model testing, calibration, and validation based on experimental data
- Work with Carrier engineering design centers globally on challenging modeling problems and promote the application of modeling and simulation techniques to support design decisions.
- Advance technology at Carrier for modeling of large-scale systems integrated with models of control logic to be used for calculation of standard efficiency metrics
EDUCATION / CERTIFICATIONS:
- Candidates must possess an MS or Ph.D. in Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or Physics (MS with at least three years of industrial experience).
EXPERIENCE / QUALIFICATIONS:
- At least five years’ experience in steady-state and dynamic modeling of vapor-compression and/or power generation systems, including related components such as heat exchangers and compression devices and associated controls
- At least three years experience in Dymola or other Modelica dynamic programming environment
- Knowledge of software programming techniques, including object-oriented methodologies, version control management
- Strong technical writing abilities to provide high-quality documentation and standard work
- Experience in the development, execution, and use of test plans and data to calibrate and validate physics-based models
In addition, the ideal candidate should:
- Possess knowledge of numerical methods and solvers, optimization, and robust design techniques
- Use methods for model convergence (scaling, smoothing), model diagnostics, debugging, initialization, identification of limits of performance
- Be able to work as a part of a multidisciplinary team and in a global environment (our engineers are located in the US, Italy, France, Germany, China, India. We collaborate with research institutions worldwide)
- Observe discipline with the development and adoption of standard development processes
- Have a solid track record of working under pressure and focus on results
- Solid technical writing, presentation, and communication skills
