Wuxi City, Jiangsu, China ⋅ Jiangsu, China

Experience Level(s):
Mid Level ⋅ Senior

Field(s):
Mechanical Engineering

Job Summary:

  • In the advanced development, we will propose specifications for high-efficiency refrigeration cycle control, which is extremely important in the development of new products. Collaborate with stakeholders to create control models that balance annual and rated performance and significantly reduce the time required for control development and testing of commercial air conditioners.

Responsibility:

  • Simulation and experimental analysis will be used to generate ideas for improving the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle control of commercial air conditioners from both hardware and software perspectives.
  • In terms of the refrigeration cycle control, the control specification that always produces a controllably stable state and minimizes the annual power consumption is designed, even during cooling or heating operation, when connecting long or short pipes, and when connecting a few or many indoor units, by utilizing the knowledge of automatic control theory and heat exchangers, accumulators, and expansion valves.
  • Optimize stable and high-performance control specifications when configuring the refrigeration cycle, even with new refrigerants and corresponding combinations of refrigeration oils.
  • In cooperation with the members of the platform design department, each module, and other interested parties, identify the gaps between current and target performance and proposes new improvements, not only in terms of performance, but also both performance and cost.

Educational Qualification:

  • Bachelor's degree or above in refrigeration, automatic control engineering, measurement engineering, or mechanical engineering (or equivalent).

Working experience:

  • At least 5 years of experience in control design or as a researcher

Skill requirements (Preferred)

  • Strong background in heat transfer, thermodynamics, calculus and numerical analysis
  • Solid skill on one-dimensional simulation, physical modeling using Dymola&Modelica
  • Familiar with Matlab&Simulink and MBD (Model based design)
  • Communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to make objective decisions in collaboration with managers to ensure that the right decisions are made.

Language:

  • Excellent communication skills. Fluent English, both written and spoken is preferred.
