Engineer, NPD
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 9, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026. Danfoss scores A on the Alion truth index.
The Impact You'll Make
Heat transfer technology affects our daily life without many of us ever noticing it. From keeping data centers cool and ships operating efficiently to supporting food production, district energy systems, and industrial processes, heat exchangers play a critical role in how energy is used across the world.
As our new Heat Plate Design Engineer, you will help shape the technology at the heart of these systems. The heat transfer plate is the most important component in a Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger (GPHE), determining its thermal performance, efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability.
Working at the intersection of design, simulation, testing, and manufacturing, you will develop the next generation of heat transfer plates that enable customers to do more with less energy. Your work will directly influence product performance, sustainability, and the competitiveness of our global GPHE portfolio.
What You’ll Be Doing
As part of our GPHE New Product Development team, you will collaborate closely with specialists across engineering, testing, and manufacturing to develop high-performing and reliable product solutions.
You will:
Design and optimize heat transfer plate geometry, including flow patterns, distribution areas, ports, contact points, pressing depth, and alignment features
Drive product development activities from concept and design through simulation, prototyping, validation, tooling development, and production release
Collaborate with heat transfer, fluid mechanics, virtual engineering, laboratory, tooling, and manufacturing teams to achieve performance, reliability, and quality targets
Evaluate designs using engineering calculations, 3D CAD, simulation results, testing data, and production feedback to continuously improve product performance
Participate in design reviews, DFMEA activities, technical investigations, and new product development projects to identify and resolve engineering challenges
Success in this role means delivering robust and manufacturable designs, proactively managing technical risks, and contributing to stronger, more standardized GPHE design practices that can be leveraged across future product platforms.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and collaborating across disciplines to develop innovative products.
Essential qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Product Development, or a related engineering discipline
- Experience with mechanical product design and 3D CAD in an industrial environment
- Strong understanding of engineering analysis, problem-solving, and structured product development methodologies
- Ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly
- A proactive and curious mindset with a passion for developing high-quality engineering solutions
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with sheet metal design, formed components, heat exchangers, pressure equipment, CFD, simulation-driven development, or product validation activities would be an advantage but is not required.
What You'll Get from Us
You'll join a team developing one of the most critical technologies behind energy-efficient cooling and heating solutions. Few engineering roles offer the opportunity to influence products used across such a wide range of industries, from data centers and marine applications to food processing, district energy, and industrial manufacturing.
In addition:
- You'll help engineer a better future by contributing to solutions that make a real difference around the world
- We'll support your career growth with mentoring, learning opportunities, and access to global career paths
- You'll have the flexibility, autonomy, and support you need to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance
- You'll be part of an inclusive workplace where people of all backgrounds are respected, valued, and empowered to succeed
- You'll receive a competitive rewards package that includes benefits such as an annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, health insurance, and more. As a global company, these benefits vary by country and contract
