Join Carrier’s Computational Engineering team within the Systems & Controls Center of Excellence and help shape the future of HVAC innovation.

We develop advanced model-based methods, optimization algorithms, and ML-enabled tools that power smarter product design, improved system performance, and efficient real-world operation. Our work directly impacts global products by turning complex engineering challenges into scalable, data-driven solutions.

You’ll collaborate with international product teams, research institutions, and cross-functional experts to bring cutting-edge optimization and control strategies into real-world applications.

Your key responsibilities will be the following

•Design and deploy optimization methods and tools for thermo-fluid systems (chillers, heat pumps, hydronic systems)

• Translate business and engineering needs into mathematical models and decision-making workflows

• Develop and implement optimization-based control strategies (e.g., MPC, real-time optimization)

•Partner with global product teams to embed advanced tools into product development and operation

•Ensure robust, scalable approaches using non-linear and mixed-integer optimization techniques

• Drive adoption of ML/surrogate models in optimization workflows

•Collaborate across modeling, controls, and platform teams to deliver end-to-end solutions

•Mentor engineers, support training initiatives, and contribute to technology roadmap development

Who we're looking for

Required

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field

•Extensive experience in model-based engineering, optimization, or computational methods

Preferred
