About the role
Job Description
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.
Qualifications
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
