Posted on Nov 3, 2026
The Impact You'll Make
Are you passionate about heat transfer and thermal-fluid systems?
Join Danfoss and help develop the next generation of heat exchanger technologies through a combination of modelling, testing, and engineering innovation.
As our new Heat Exchanger & Two-Phase Heat Transfer Engineer, you'll play a key role in developing advanced thermal management solutions that improve energy efficiency, performance, and reliability. Working at the intersection of simulation, experimentation, and product development, you'll solve complex thermal challenges and help shape future technologies and products.
You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative heat exchanger solutions, validate thermal-fluid models, and transform engineering data into insights that drive better design decisions.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you'll combine analytical expertise, experimental validation, and engineering creativity to solve challenging thermal-fluid problems and advance product performance.
- Perform thermal-hydraulic design, analysis, and optimization of heat exchangers and thermal management systems
- Develop and validate numerical models for single-phase and two-phase flow, including condensation, evaporation, and other heat transfer processes
- Design, plan, and execute laboratory testing to characterize thermal-fluid performance and validate engineering models
- Analyze simulation and experimental data to identify trends, root causes, and opportunities for improvement
- Collaborate with product development, manufacturing, and engineering teams to support technology development, prototype testing, design reviews, and innovation initiatives
Success in this role means accurately predicting complex thermal-fluid behaviour, designing experiments that validate engineering models, and translating technical findings into practical
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an engineer who combines strong technical expertise with curiosity, analytical thinking, and a passion for solving complex engineering challenges.
Essential Qualifications
- Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or a related field
- Experience working with heat transfer and thermal-fluid systems through simulation, experimentation, or product development
- Strong understanding of heat transfer and thermal-fluid systems, with expertise in areas such as two-phase flow, heat exchangers, thermodynamics, or fluid mechanics
- Experience analysing engineering data and drawing actionable conclusions using data-driven methods and tools
- Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams
Preferred Qualifications
You may also bring experience in one or more of the following areas:
- CFD or thermal simulation
- Heat exchanger, refrigeration, HVAC, cooling, or heat pump technologies
- Experimental validation and laboratory testing
- Design optimization, advanced analytics, or machine learning applications
- Product development and engineering design
What You'll Get from Us
You'll help engineer a better future by contributing to solutions that make a real difference around the world.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work on advanced thermal technologies, combine simulation with hands-on experimentation, and influence the development of future products and solutions. You'll collaborate with experts across multiple engineering disciplines and contribute to innovations that improve energy efficiency and system performance.
We also promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
