The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022 and 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: Specialist Technician in Thermal management engineer
Research area or group: Nanoscience Instrument Development Division
Description of Group/Project:
We are seeking a talented and ambitious Thermal management engineer to join our team and participate in a project that involves interactions with industry, market and research. The position involves working with the R&D team of Cooling Photonics, a dynamic ICN2 start-up.
The candidate will be responsible for heat transfer simulation and experimental characterization of the thermal management coatings developed by Cooling Photonics.
These coatings are characterized by spectroscopy (UVVIS and IR) and their thermal performance by outdoor field tests that monitor the temperature and net cooling power with respect to a reference. Working with the engineering/thermal management team, the candidate will be responsible for the planning, preparation, execution, data analysis and reporting of field test activities for Industrial and academic projects. The objective of the project is to integrate hierarchical micro/nanostructured patterns on solar photovoltaics to combine different functionalities. Our aim is to contribute to reduce the intensive energy use and carbon footprint of conventional cooling technologies and increase the efficiency of other renewable energy technologies such as PV. This contract is part of the project CPP2021-008856 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by European Union “NextGenrationEU”/PRTR”
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
We look for exceptional people and give them a level of responsibility, exposure and autonomy that will accelerate their career. You will be responsible for working with current engineers; thermal simulation eng., electronical eng., mechanical eng. Ideally, the successful applicant has experience in thermal engineering, instrumentation, thermal photonics, renewable and clean energy. The main goal is to implement and perform outdoor field tests on our passive cooling materials, and contribute to the design and analysis of tests adapted to pilot projects with the industry.
Responsibilities
Requirements:
We are looking for a highly motivated thermal management engineer, interested in developing its career in a fast and dynamic environment. Knowledge of photonics, nanotech, renewable and clean energy, chemistry is a plus. PhD degree in thermal engineering, physics, nanotechnology, or equivalent is not required but is a plus.
Proven experience (ideally 2+ years) in thermal management.
Particularly good understanding of thermal mechanisms and thermodynamics.
Medium knowledge about electronics, measurement, and control systems.
Good understanding of material properties and cooling technologies are a plus.
You thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
Proven record of accomplishment for working well across teams and with external partners.
You are a strong communicator and can explain complex issues in clear, persuasive language.
Personal Competences:
Excellent technical and communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders at all levels.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a focus on driving results and delivering projects on time and within budget.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
You already have experience building electronics set ups (with Arduino and Raspberry).
You have experience planning experiments, working with sensors, calibrations, and processing data.
Thermal/Multiphysics 1D simulations with Open Modelica.
3D Simulation with other specific purpose software packages.
Calculations of energy balances and thermal energy transfer (such as Comsol Multiphysics or Ansys).
Highly motivated, have a transversal background and enjoy learning new skills.
Self-motivated and willing to tackle the challenges of characterizing the thermal performance of our multi-functional films in relevant environments.
Creative, collaborative and like to work in a high performant team to solve problems.
Ability to meet deadlines with quality output deliverables.
Flexible to accept new challenges in the future, and to evolve together with the changing R&D demands of our high-tech environment.
Proactive and autonomous character
Excellent team player with particularly good communication and reporting skills.
