Department

As an EMEA Development Centre (EDC), we develop products for air conditioning, heating, refrigeration and ventilation. Also controls and IOT solutions are developed. These products are produced in different factories located in and outside Europe. These products are put on the market through our various Daikin distributors and affiliates within Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Your role

As a Development Engineer within our EMEA Development Centre, you will be involved in the development of heat-pumps and commercial air conditioning and ventilation products, taking into account the requirements of different stakeholders (customers, manufacturing, sales,…).

• Determining the tests and evaluations that the products must undergo and analysing the test results.

• Determining the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) methods to be used and determining the components and control logic required for this.
• Determine your own work plan independently while taking into account the overall planning inside and outside of EDC.
• Discuss your interim results with management, make diagnoses and ensure the development and implementation of action plans to identify and avoid bottlenecks.
• Equally important is your role as contact person between EDC and other departments such as Sales, Procurement, Quality and Production, whereby you will acquire a good insight to the whole Daikin production process.
