The role combines expertise in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, and materials science to design, operate, and maintain ultra-low temperature systems. Refrigeration- Design Engineer (Air Flow and Heat Transfer- ULT) Core responsibilities * Design and development: Architect and engineer ultra-low temperature systems that rely on precise air or gas flow dynamics. For large ultra-low temperature auto storage freezers * System integration: Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate ULT storage equipment into larger projects, ensuring seamless functionality and performance. * Performance modelling: Use computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation software (e.g., solidworks) to model thermal behaviours and predict the performance of systems and components. * Maintenance and troubleshooting: Oversee the installation, preventive maintenance, and repair of ULT Systems/equipment. Diagnose and resolve issues related to temperature control, airflow, and system malfunctions. * Documentation and reporting: Create comprehensive technical documentation, including design specifications, maintenance logs, and procedure guides. * Safety and compliance: Develop and enforce safety protocols for handling cryogenic fluids and operating systems, adhering to strict industry standards and regulations. * Testing and validation: Conduct tests on ULT systems to validate cooling performance and assess material behaviour at ultra-low temperatures. * Vendor management: Work with external suppliers and partners to procure and co-design specialized system components. Required skills and qualifications * Educational background: A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Physics is typically required. * Ideally 2 years’ experience in a ULT task/discipline : In-depth knowledge of Heat Transfer and fluid flow, refrigeration systems, ultra-low temperature physics, and materials behaviour at cryogenic/ULT temperatures. * Fluid dynamics: Knowlege in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, with the ability to perform complex flow calculations. * Technical software: Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) and simulation tools for thermal and fluid dynamics analysis. * Hands-on experience: Strong practical skills in building, testing, and debugging ULT systems and test rigs. * Problem-solving: A highly analytical mindset with the ability to lead and contribute to the resolution of complex technical problems. * Communication: Excellent written and oral communication skills for collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and external partners. * Safety awareness: A comprehensive understanding of the safety precautions required when working with cryogenic fluids and high-pressure systems. * Advanced manufacturing: Developing tools and systems for manufacturing processes that require ultra-cold environments
