Junior Development Engineer (Thermo)

Location: Hampshire

Industry: Thermal Engineering / Product Development / Manufacturing

Type: Full‑time, Permanent

Are you an early‑career engineer with a passion for thermodynamics, heat transfer, and innovative product development? This is an exciting opportunity to join a global engineering organisation as a Junior Development Engineer, supporting the development of next‑generation heat exchanger technology.

This entry‑level role is designed to strengthen a growing Global Technology Team, offering hands‑on involvement in engineering design, thermodynamic analysis, prototype development, and product testing. You’ll gain exposure to global projects, cross‑functional collaboration, and customer‑facing technical work — making this an exceptional stepping stone into advanced product engineering.

About the Role

As a Junior Development Engineer, you will:

• Support the design and development of new heat exchanger products
• Contribute to thermodynamic and fluid‑dynamic analysis
• Assist with global product transfers and engineering changes
• Generate engineering data and support integration into global software tools
• Work with prototype builds and support early‑stage manufacturing improvements
• Participate in laboratory testing, data collection, and technical reporting
• Collaborate with global teams across Technology, NPI, PLM, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing
• Represent the technology function in customer‑facing technical discussions
• Manage your own workstreams and deliver to structured project timelines

What We’re Looking For

• A technically minded individual with a passion for thermodynamics, heat transfer, or mechanical design
• Strong analytical skills and an interest in engineering problem‑solving
• Ability to work effectively in global, cross‑functional teams
• Confident communicator with the ability to engage across diverse cultures
• Willingness to work hands‑on with prototypes, testing, and lab equipment
• Comfortable managing multiple tasks in a structured, deadline‑driven environment
• Willingness to travel occasionally as part of global project work

Desirable:

• Knowledge of heat exchangers
• Degree in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
• Understanding of fluid dynamics
• Experience with engineering analysis or testing

 Why This Role Stands Out

• Genuine long‑term development and promotion potential
• Exposure to global engineering projects and international collaboration
• Blend of design, analysis, testing, and hands‑on engineering
• Opportunity to influence next‑generation thermal technology
• Supportive team environment with strong technical mentorship
