Create solutions for our customers within time and budget, for Philips businesses and other (external) companies. These applications vary from thermal management of an MR system to creating nm-accurate motion systems for semiconductor equipment.

You are responsible for

  • Supporting with thermal management in mechatronic development projects. Your activities range from:
    • thermal design studies with Matlab in the concept phase to the 
    • optimization of the desired performance by thermal, thermo-mechanical and Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling in Ansys (FEM / CFD) in the detailed engineering phase to
    • experimental validation of the predicted thermal/flow behavior in our customers systems.
    • Multi-disciplinary cooperation within project teams is vital for success.
    • Provide consultancy at customer's request with respect to thermal management.
