Lead Engineer- R&D (Thermodynamics & System - Based Modelling), | Koç Kariyerim

We are looking for a passionate Lead Engineer– R&D (Thermodynamics & System-Based Modelling) who will join our team at Central R&D.

• Working on projects related to improving the vapor compression system for heating/cooling,
• Developing and refining system-level models of vapor compression heating and cooling systems using simulation tools (e.g., GT-SUITE, Modelica), and calibrating and validating these models against experimental data to support performance prediction and design optimization,
• Conducting experimental and aligned numerical studies to investigate the thermal system characteristics and effects on the cooling/heating performance and energy efficiency of heat pump systems, efficiency of their components and sub-systems,
• Analyzing experimental and numerical results to develop the related heat pump system and component designs,
• Developing alternative cooling/heating system designs, algorithms, and new technology applications to improve thermal performance of the products,
• Preparing test plans for both systems and components such as compressors and heat exchangers,
• Performing theoretical thermal analysis and engineering calculations on the thermodynamics and heat&mass transfer issues related with the cooling/heating system applications,
• Following/learning and developing related test standards,
• Improving digital skills to interpret the experimental and numerical results,
• Reporting, presenting, and sharing outcomes of the R&D project studies across departments and functions.

The position is located in Çayırova, İstanbul.
