Heat Exchanger Subject Matter Expert

Job Description The Heat Exchanger Subject Matter Expert (SME) is the technical authority on liquid-to-liquid and liquid to air heat exchangers, including the design, optimization, deployment, and troubleshooting of liquid cooling heat exchanger solutions. They bridge advanced thermal engineering theory with heat exchanger manufacturing experience, field execution and lifecycle management. Engagement will be for near term and future R&D efforts. Key responsibilities include: Understand the industry landscape and product types, including relative performance, manufacturing methods and relative costs for different design options Heat transfer analysis - apply advanced thermodynamics to validate system heat balances, fluid dynamics, and calculate log mean temperature differences. Determine optimal heat exchanger sizing based on fluid properties (e.g., density, viscosity, thermal conductivity), flow rates, desired heat transfer performance and specify preferred heat exchanger types. Utilize industry-standard software and CFD tools to model thermal performance, flow and pressure drops. Act as the technical authority on heat exchanger technical solution. Select appropriate materials to prevent corrosion, erosion, and fouling. Lifecycle Management & Troubleshooting Lead investigations into thermal incidents, fluid leaks, or performance degradation to reduce downtime. Collaborate with engineering, quality, procurement and operations teams to execute program objectives. Review
