Job Description
Staff Research Engineer, Systems Engineering - Innovation & Strategy
Carrier Global Corporation, global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, is committed to creating solutions that matter for people and our planet for generations to come. From the beginning, we've led in inventing new technologies and entirely new industries. Today, we continue to lead because we have a world-class, diverse workforce that puts the customer at the center of everything we do. For more information, visit corporate.carrier.com ( or follow Carrier on social media at @Carrier ( .
About this Role
Carrier is looking for talented and motivated engineers who will be a part of Carrier's Innovation Hub Americas, to enable the development of innovative and novel Energy technologies in HVAC&R (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications. Innovation Hub Americas is in Syracuse, which is the North American center for Carrier's product design and development, as well as groundbreaking innovative research. We ideate, design, verify and validate new products and technologies across Carrier's global portfolio, supporting Carrier's goal to be the global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
This staff research engineer will be part of the team working on the development of novel energy management systems (EMS) in support of Carrier's plan to develop the next generation of intelligent energy solutions. Their focus will be on maturing early-stage technologies as relevant to electrical and/or mechanical systems that enable electrification and energy management. They would be responsible for design, testing, and validation of these novel EMS systems leading to technology maturation for product insertion.
Key Job Responsibilities
-
Develop, design and validate alternatives to the current status quo in EMS+HVAC technologies and associated systems considering all aspects of the system such as architecture, performance, components and materials selection, cost, manufacturability, safety, regulatory compliance and reliability.
-
Develop Energy Management System architectures with novel technologies using analytical and model-based design tools and methodologies.
-
Identify risks and develop mitigation plans by working with multidisciplinary teams, SMEs and stakeholders to drive and implement appropriate risk reduction methodologies.
-
Design at-scale experimental setups for demonstrating performance and risk mitigation while ensuring that the critical characteristics and timelines are met.
-
Validate multiscale model-based predictions through experimentation and analysis.
-
Develop technology value proposition by analyzing system performance against KPIs such as load capacity, efficiency, reliability etc. while meeting initial and operational cost targets.
-
Develop robust IP strategies to patent new technologies and ensure our freedom to practice.
-
Support the identification, creation and growth of disruptive technology project pipelines, aligned with themes energy management.
-
Review journals, patents and publicly available data to synthesize technical feasibility and risks, as well as propose strategies.
-
Collaborate and coordinate with global team members, other functions with Carrier and external partners/universities.
Required Qualifications
-
Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or Automotive, Thermal or Chemical or Systems Engineering.
-
5 years of experience in thermal engineering, electrical engineering, or systems engineering related to technology development.
-
3 years of experience in any of the areas of heat transfer, thermodynamic cycles, fluid dynamics, electrical systems and components, or system level design, analysis, and testing.
-
3 years of experience in working with physics-based modeling tools (CFD, FEA, System modeling).
-
3 years of experience in developing system and component level testing protocols for technology performance demonstrations.
Preferred Qualifications
-
PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Thermal, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or similar
-
4 years of working experience in HVAC&R, EMS, or adjacent related industrial application
-
2 years of experience with electrical systems and high voltage systems, both AC and/or DC.
-
2 years of experience with energy storage systems, electrical or others.
-
Deep understanding of HVAC&R systems, thermodynamic cycles and psychrometric analysis
-
Ability to work with others on design teams to understand and translate design and process engineering requirements into components, sub-systems and products
-
Demonstrated experience in identifying novel technologies and performing value assessment for product
-
Familiarity with technology development process, including NASA/ISO 16290 technology readiness levels (TRLs)
-
Familiarity with function, components and modeling of electromechanical HVAC systems including heat exchangers, compressors, motors and structural elements or similar systems.
-
Work in psychrometric chamber set-up and troubleshooting.
-
Experience with design of experiments, test rig design, measurement system identification and implementation, instrumentation requirements development, measurement uncertainty analysis, test rig commissioning, conducting multiparameter input testing, troubleshooting systems, test data reduction and validation
-
Familiarity with specialty software for analysis, tracking and simulation (Minitab/JMP, COMSOL, LabVIEW, Ansys/Nastran FEA, etc.).
-
Team oriented personality, capability to work well in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams.
-
Must be self-driven and capable of leading development projects autonomously, while gathering feedback from appropriate experts and stakeholders.
