Mechanical Engineer - Compressors / HVAC-R

The Impact You'll Make

As our new Mechanical Engineer, you’ll help shape the future of Turbocor compressor technology-designing high-performance solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Your work will directly influence next-generation products used in commercial HVAC/R systems around the world.

You’ll translate ideas into engineered solutions by leading integrated compressor designs from concept through validation. Along the way, you’ll collaborate across disciplines to ensure every design performs in real-world conditions and meets customer expectations.

By contributing to long-term technology roadmaps, you’ll play a key role in advancing Danfoss’ leadership in climate solutions and innovation, helping customers reduce energy use and environmental impact.

This is an onsite position, located in Tallahassee, Florida at the Turbocor Compressor global headquarters.

You’ll join an innovative, collaborative, and self-directed team focused on solving meaningful engineering challenges. We value curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement-and we give you the space to make an impact.

At Danfoss, you’ll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, grow your technical expertise, and contribute to sustainable solutions that matter globally. You’ll collaborate with talented peers across mechanical, electronics, software, and test disciplines in a culture built on trust and shared goals.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and integrate compressor systems to deliver reliable, high-performance products ready for production
• Run simulations and engineering analyses (stress, thermal, vibration, fluid flow) to validate designs and improve performance
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, cost efficiency, and quality outcomes
• Create and maintain engineering documentation (CAD models, drawings, DFMEAs, specifications) to ensure design accuracy and traceability
• Lead and contribute to design reviews and mentorship to strengthen technical decisions and support team development

What We're Looking For

• A minimum of 3+ years of experience in mechanical design of rotating equipment (e.g., compressors, HVAC/R systems, or similar)
• Bachelors or post-graduate degree in mechanical, mechetronics, aerospace or aero-thermal engineering or equivilent
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools (such as NX, SolidWorks, or CATIA) and engineering analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS, MATLAB)
• Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and GD&T/tolerance analysis
• Proven ability to solve complex engineering challenges and deliver designs from concept through validation
• Effective communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional engineering environments

What You'll Get from Us

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
• We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
• You’ll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about-we think they’re pretty great.
