Vertiv is seeking a Thermodynamic Software Engineer to support the development of its global thermal rating tool. This role involves collaborating with a diverse engineering team to create and maintain thermodynamic models of Vertiv's HVAC products, providing essential support to global Sales and Design teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop accurate and efficient mathematical models for HVAC components (evaporators, condensers, compressors, fans, pumps) using physics-based equations.
• Code stable algorithms to simulate the performance of various HVAC systems including chilled-water, air-cooled, water-cooled, chiller, and pumped refrigeration systems.
• Create and maintain a comprehensive library of heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for single-phase and two-phase refrigerant flows, based on current scientific literature.
• Review and integrate new methods and correlations from scientific publications into existing models and code.
• Implement high-efficiency numerical methods for solving complex multi-circuit system schemes.
• Prepare detailed documentation and presentations on thermal modeling and analysis.
• Utilize C# .NET for all modeling tasks.

Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or a related field with a thermodynamics focus.
• 2+ years of experience in thermal engineering is preferred; recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Strong foundation in single-phase and two-phase fluid dynamics, refrigerant mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics.
• Comprehensive understanding of HVAC system operation, component balancing, and integration.
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming, with C# or similar languages being a plus.
• Practical knowledge of numerical methods and multi-layer, multi-circuit schematic iteration.
• Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and a proactive team player.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and communication tools (MS Teams, MS Outlook).
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills are mandatory.
• Native Italian speaker or fluency in Italian (verbal and written) is highly desirable.
• Proximity to the Vertiv site in Tognana (Padova) or willingness to relocate is advantageous.
