Systems Engineer Heat pumps, R&D dept

We are a group of people who think differently, have a passion for entrepreneurship and strive to maintain a flat organization where we all are expected to make a difference. We believe in making the impossible possible together – by building on each individual's personal strengths. Our goal is to change the way cities in Europe are heated and cooled, do you want to shape the future with us?

The world is in the midst of an energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. We have developed a wide range of smart heat pump solutions built on modern software. The products are suitable for everything from small apartments to large property complexes and entire residential blocks. The next generation of heat pumps are not only very energy efficient but also designed to be an active node in the electrical grid. Qvantum has developed a series of new capabilities for this purpose including our heat pump to grid (HP2G), flexready®, thermal battery and digital doctor features.

About the job

As a member of the dedicated team at Qvantum, you will play a crucial role in the continuous development of the advanced heat pump systems. Your primary focus will be on the implementation aspects of the product, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with various applications. You will lead and oversee different stages of product development, maintaining a balance between electrical and refrigeration requirements while adhering to EU standards. Your experience in similar roles will be invaluable as you provide technical expertise and support, both internally and with external stakeholders, to meet the customer expectations of Qvantum.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the continuous technical development of heat pump systems, focusing on implementation and application aspects.
• Dimension components, conduct lab tests, and develop verification plans to rapidly verify ideas.
• Analyze test results to ensure optimal system performance.
• Ensure that the systems meet customers' needs and standards.
• Provide technical support and guidance to the internal team.
• Collaborate closely with external component suppliers.
• Stay updated with industry standards as well as EU regulations and explore functional opportunities.

Qualifications

We are seeking a system engineering professional adept at navigating the complexities of product development and implementation at scale. You have a comprehensive understanding of heating and cooling systems, control mechanisms, and regulatory standards. You thrives in merging theoretical knowledge with practical application and are enthusiastic about steering technical aspects in the realm of heat pump development.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics Engineering, or a related field.
• +5 years experience in system engineering, preferably in the implementation of heat pump technology within various applications such as building heating, industrial processes, and control systems.
• Deep expertise in refrigeration, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, preferably as applied to refrigeration circuits and systems.
• Knowledge in specification, calculation, design, and testing of products and components in a mass-production setting.
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal.
• Experience in scale-up or high-growth production environments is a merit.

To thrive in the role, we believe that you appreciate the scale-up phase we are in, where learning and flexibility is needed in combination with a strong drive to build systematic ways of working and implement new tools and methods. We believe you have a strength in following through, attention to details and are driven by creating results. You have a long-term perspective and value both working independently with your team and collaborating with colleagues across different functions and across Europe.
