Refrigeration System & Technical Leadership

Lead and manage a global refrigeration engineering organization responsible for cascade vapor-compression systems used in ULT freezers and cold storage platforms.
Own refrigeration system architecture and strategy aligned with product roadmaps and platform reuse initiatives.
Provide technical oversight for sealed-system design, including compressors, heat exchangers, refrigerants, controls interfaces, and safety devices.
Drive modular, scalable, and reusable refrigeration solutions across multiple product platforms.

Simulation, Modeling & Innovation

Lead the use of thermal modeling, system simulation, and analytical tools to predict performance, efficiency, and reliability.
Guide design trade studies using modeling and empirical data to optimize system performance and energy consumption.
Champion advanced development initiatives to mature next-generation refrigeration technologies and support intellectual property creation.

Product Development & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering teams through all phases of the toll-gate NPD process.
Partner with manufacturing and operations teams to ensure robust design transfer and global production readiness.
Support products manufactured across multiple global facilities.
Contribute to component, sub-system, and system-level technology roadmaps.

Requirements, Compliance & Traceability

Partner with Product Management, Controls Engineering, Quality, and Regulatory to develop and maintain refrigeration and control requirements.
Ensure traceability from customer and regulatory requirements through verification and validation evidence.
Ensure refrigeration designs meet applicable regulatory and certification requirements (e.g., UL, IEC, FDA, CE, CSA, Energy Star).
Drive standardization of system-level specifications, test plans, and validation methods.

People, Program & Financial Leadership

Develop budgets, resource plans, and schedules in partnership with NPD project managers and leadership.
Balance internal resources, global engineering contractors, and third-party support.
Coach, mentor, and develop engineers and technicians to build technical capability and leadership depth.
Foster a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Travel: Up to 10% domestic travel.

REQUIREMENTS:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, systems engineering, chemical engineering, physics, or related discipline
Coursework in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics strongly preferred
Master’s degree preferred

Experience

5+ years of experience leading teams in the design and evaluation of refrigeration or thermal systems
3+ years of hands-on experience developing vapor-compression systems for cold storage or HVAC/R products, cascade systems preferred.
Experience using natural refrigerants and other low GWP refrigerants in system designs.
Experience supporting regulated products (e.g., UL 61010, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA, CE, CSA, Energy Star)
Experience with thermal system modeling, simulation, and performance testing
Experience analyzing empirical test data to guide design decisions
Familiarity with data acquisition systems, automated testing, and technical documentation
