Thermal Control Valve Systems Engineer

We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Junior Thermal Control Valve Systems Engineer to support the development, design, and validation of thermal control valves used in automotive, HVAC, and industrial systems. This position provides hands-on experience in product design, thermal-fluid systems, and engineering documentation under the guidance of senior team members.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the design and development of thermal control valves (thermostatic, electronically controlled, or pressure-actuated).

• Support 3D CAD modeling, technical drawings, and tolerance analysis for valve components.

• Conduct basic thermal and flow calculations to evaluate performance (temperature range, flow rates, response time).

• Participate in prototype assembly, testing, and data collection.

• Help prepare engineering documentation, including BOMs, design reports, and test summaries.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (testing, manufacturing, purchasing) to support product development lifecycle.

Key Focus Areas:

• ✅ Thermal Valve Fundamentals: Understanding how valves regulate coolant, refrigerant, or thermal fluid flow

• ✅ CAD Design & Drafting: Use of SolidWorks, Creo, or similar tools for valve component modeling

• ✅ Thermal & Fluid Calculations: Introductory-level analysis of temperature control, flow regulation, and response behavior

• ✅ Materials & Seals: Exposure to temperature-resistant materials and seal compatibility

• ✅ Testing Support: Hands-on involvement in functional and durability testing

• ✅ Documentation & Quality: Support preparation of design reports, test data sheets, and basic DFMEA

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

• Internship or academic project experience in thermal or fluid systems preferred

• Familiarity with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent)

• Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics

• Strong teamwork, communication, and willingness to learn

• Attention to detail and ability to follow structured engineering processes

Preferred Skills:

• Exposure to thermal management, cooling systems, or automotive HVAC

• Understanding of engineering test procedures or lab instrumentation

• Knowledge of ISO or SAE standards (helpful, not required)
