Development & Test Engineer - Heat Pumps (f/m/div.)

Your contribution to something big: As our Development & Test Engineer, you will join our fast-growing, cross-functional product development team in Aveiro. You will be responsible for ensuring performance in our residential heat pumps, driving product development through virtual testing, system-level validation, and physical data correlation: • Specify, develop, and execute virtual and system-level tests for residential heat pump systems. • Develop and apply advanced MATLAB/Simulink-based models and virtual testing environments to simulate physical behaviors. • Analyze product, customer, and safety requirements to translate them into robust, structured validation strategies and technical test cases. • Design and run system validation plans , correlating virtual simulation results with real-world physical test bench data. • Coordinate key product market-introduction activities , supporting product certification, physical verification, and technical documentation. • Support production ramp-up activities and collaborate closely with manufacturing plants to ensure test methods align with assembly constraints. • Apply product-engineering and quality methodologies (such as FMEA, 8D, and DRBFM) to drive continuous quality and optimization in our product portfolio. What distinguishes you:   Education • M.Sc. or B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics Engineering, Automation, or a closely related technical discipline. Experience and Know-how • Simulation and Virtual Testing: Proven experience in system testing, physical simulation, or data correlation. Strong experience using MATLAB/Simulink or virtual testing environments is highly valued. • Validation and Test Planning: Practical experience in defining test specifications, test execution, data acquisition (DAQ), and evaluating test results. • Thermal Systems: Good knowledge of thermodynamics, refrigeration technology, fluid dynamics, or heat transfer. Prior experience with heat pumps or HVAC systems is a major advantage. • Quality Methodologies: Familiarity with standard product development and quality tools, such as FMEA, DFMA, 8D, and DRBFM. Languages • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are required for cross-site collaboration and documentation. Working Style and Methods • An analytical, structured, and problem-solving mindset with a passion for data accuracy. • Strong sense of ownership, proactive initiative, and a commitment to meeting project milestones. • Willingness to travel occasionally and collaborate comfortably in an international engineering environment. Personality • A collaborative team player who communicates with high clarity across diverse, multidisciplinary development groups. • Detail-oriented, curious, and excited about pioneering sustainable green technologies.
