Vehicle HVAC Systems Engineer required for an innovative company leading the way in the development of powertrain solutions for electric vehicle applications. With a commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology, they are dedicated to revolutionizing the automotive industry through their advanced drivetrain solutions.

As a HVAC Systems Engineer, you will be working on electric vehicle projects, integrating an HVAC system (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) with the electric powertrain and other vehicle systems. Specifically, you will be responsible for developing the HVAC system electrical architecture to suit the application. You will also be responsible for configuration and optimisation of the HVAC system software for the application. You will be working across the full life-cycle of each project: initial design, prototype testing and development, production and post-delivery support.

Responsibilities

Electrical architecture design:
Design of electrical interface between HVAC system, and the powertrain and other vehicle systems
Modification of HVAC system electrical architecture to suit application requirements
Software design:
Development of communications interface between HVAC system, and the powertrain and other vehicle systems, and associated HVAC system functions
Modification of HVAC system software to suit application requirements
Ensuring the design satisfies relevant regulatory requirements
Support of HVAC system manufacture, installation and commissioning on the vehicle
Conducting system function and performance tests, and analysis of results

Required Skills

Degree level qualification in an engineering discipline
Use of Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow for embedded software development
Electrical schematic design
Knowledge of operation of automotive or bus HVAC systems:
Operation of refrigerant/heat pump circuits
Thermal controller algorithms and optimisation
Analysis of system data to validate functional and performance requirements

Desirable Skills

Knowledge of CAN (Controller Area Network), for communication between vehicle components
Use of CAN analysis tools: Vector CANalyzer, Kvaser CANKing, Peak-Systems PCAN-View
Use of ECU calibration and programming tools
Development of ECU diagnostic functions (“on-board diagnostics”)
Application of functional safety management (e.g. ISO 26262)
