Have full end-to-end responsibility for thermal architecture and thermal management in high-performance mechatronic systems. Create solutions for our customers within time and budget, for Philips businesses and other (external) companies, on locations all over the globe. These applications vary from thermal management of an MR system to creating nm-accurate motion systems for semiconductor equipment.


You are responsible for

  • The 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 CFD modelling in Ansys (FEM) in the detailed engineering phase. Additionally, experimental validation of the predicted thermal/flow behavior in our customers' systems is a crucial aspect of your contribution. 
  • Multi-disciplinary cooperation within project teams is vital for success.
  • Provide consultancy at customer?s request with respect to thermal management.
  • As part of the thermal & flow team you have a joint responsibility of the maintenance, knowledge retention and competence development of all thermal & flow aspects ranging from software tooling to the thermal & flow lab.

 

You are part of
Philips Engineering Solutions (PES) draws upon a huge range of resources and know-how to support our customers in bringing their innovations to market, as fast and efficiently as possible. Our pragmatic technology experts and consultants benefit from decades of experience supporting customers in Philips Businesses, Philips Research and hundreds of companies outside Philips..
The PES Mechatronics department, with approximately 200 employees, is unique in its system design approach, which has led to many practical solutions for our customers. Think of breakthrough solutions in high accuracy positioning, in e.g. lithography systems and magnetically levitated stages. Think also of crucial improvements to products ranging from shavers to respiratory aids.
You will be working in multi-disciplinary teams of highly skilled technical experts from both PES and its customers.
The Thermal, Flow & Control group within the Mechatronics department is a group of over 25 specialists in the field of Control, Thermal, Flow and Tribology.
