Thermal Systems Engineer

At Aiolos, we design and deliver some of the most advanced wind tunnel systems in the world, driving innovation for the automotive and aerospace industries. From high-performance vehicle testing to groundbreaking aerospace research, our work shapes the future of transportation and flight. Joining our team means working on complex, one-of-a-kind engineering challenges that push the limits of technology and your own potential.In the automotive sector, our climatic wind tunnels are used in the development cycle for thermodynamic testing of subsystems in production vehicles. Our aero-acoustic wind tunnels are used for aerodynamic investigations and noise studies in the automotive development process. Our design and working tools include AutoCAD, Autodesk Plant 3D, Pro Engineer Creo, MathCad and Microsoft Office Suite.Visit our website at . THERMAL SYSTEMS ENGINEER We are looking for a Thermal Systems Engineer (cooling and heating systems) to compliment and learn from our senior engineers. The candidate must have a solid technical background and some practical experience in Thermal Systems Engineering and have a strong sense of ownership for their work - accepting tasks and time constraints and working within them to complete the task on time with little supervision. Salary Range: $90,000-$115,000 Job entails:Thermal Systems design - This position will be responsible for the end-to-end design of the refrigeration (cooling plant) and other heat transfer systems in the facilities we design. Components include heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, valves, piping systems, air handling systems, and instrumentation.Cross-discipline Interfacing - During the project design phases, this position is expected to work with the Aerodynamicists, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers and Controls Engineers to ensure facility design and interfaces are properly defined.Authoring/co-authoring technical drawings - AutoCAD is used for our thermal systems drawings.Authoring/co-authoring technical specifications - Define the specification of thermal systems for projects (including sub-systems and complete heating / cooling system and air handling systems installation specifications) and advise others on specifications relating to other process equipment (such as the heat exchanger, fan, air handling units, rain/snow/solar simulation, etc).Installation and start-up on-site - Thermal systems detail design and installation is generally subcontracted locally according to Aiolos' cooling / heating systems and process design drawings. This position will include overseeing installations, and working with other subcontractors at site, particularly when thermal systems interfacing is required. Must also supervise the start-up of the thermal systems in preparation for complete facility Controls tuning. The candidate will work with the project engineer for this task but must have the ability to work independently at site - acting directly as an Aiolos point of contact for the subcontractor.Contribute to proposals effort with concept design equipment estimates REQUIREDBachelor's Degree in mechanical or Process Engineering Must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent ResidentEligible candidate for license as a Professional Engineer5-10 years' experienceFamiliarity with large refrigeration systems and thermal process design.
