POSITION SUMMARY

The Mid or Senior HVAC Applications Engineer serves as a technical subject-matter expert supporting Sales, Business Development, and Customers in the design, validation, and deployment of advanced HVAC and cooling solutions.

You will partner closely with Sales to translate customer requirements into technically sound, competitive solutions; validate system designs; support pre-sales discussions; and provide expert guidance during critical project phases. As a senior technical voice, you will also influence product evolution, technical standards, and best practices across the organization.
