Job Description
We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate research engineer to work on a funded research project that investigates the development of personalized cooling systems leveraging thermoelectric cooling technology. The aim of the research is to design a personalized cooling device for mixed-mode ventilation and natural ventilation environments in the tropics. The successful applicant will be supervised by the principal investigator Dr. Adrian Chong from the Department of the Built Environment, College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore.
- Work closely with team members from thermal, fluid and material engineering background to setup sensors and prototype the device.
- Setup PID for fans and pumps to respond for changes and optimize electric power consumption for increasing the efficiency of the device on a component level and the overall system.
- Conduct parametric experiments to evaluate system behavior under varying operational conditions, including power supply constraints, ambient temperatures, and human-machine interface factors.
- Develop PCB for the device.
- Document project progress in technical reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, materials, and Fluid mechanics engineers, and potentially external industry partners.
- Organize, analyze and publish research in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Job Requirements
Qualifications and Skills:
- Bachelor’s or Master’ Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or related field
- Strong experience with LabVIEW software (or any open source alternative)
- Knowledge of data acquisition systems (e.g., NI DAQ hardware)
- Understanding of control systems theory (PID, system dynamics, feedback control)
- Experience with sensor integration and instrumentation (Velocity, temperature, pressure, electric power measurements)
- Ability to analyze, interpret and present experimental data
