Control Systems Engineer (R&D)
Munters is seeking a Control Systems Engineer with strong software development experience to join our R&D team focused on advanced cooling technologies for data centre applications.
You will work as part of a cross-functional team designing and testing control systems that power our next-generation heat rejection products, including passive and hybrid thermosyphon-based solutions.
About This Role
This role bridges the gap between control theory and real-world application. You will be hands-on with both software and hardware, helping to develop and implement control logic that is critical to the performance of highly efficient, low-energy cooling systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop control logic using Function Block Diagram (FBD) and structured programming methods.
* Integrate and test control software on prototype systems in our R&D lab environment.
* Closely collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to define system behavior.
* Tune and refine control loops (PID, cascaded control, etc.) based on experimental results.
* Contribute to test planning and support data acquisition and analysis for control validation.
* Assist with documentation, version control, and handover to production where needed.
What You Bring
* Degree in Control Systems, Mechatronics, Software Engineering, or a related field.
* At least 3 years of experience in software development for control systems, ideally in HVAC, refrigeration, or process environments.
* Proficiency in Function Block Diagram (FBD) programming.
* Understanding of control system fundamentals and real-world system dynamics.
* Experience with industrial sensors, PLCs, and automation hardware.
* Ability to troubleshoot, iterate, and collaborate in a hands-on lab setting.
Nice to Have
* Familiarity with Carel and/or Automated Logic Controls (ALC) platforms, though not required.
* Experience working with industrial protocols (Modbus, BACnet, etc.).
* Background in data centre cooling, refrigeration, or thermal systems.
* Experience in R&D or prototype development environments.
Why Join Us
You will be joining a team that's pushing the boundaries of sustainable cooling for high-performance computing environments. If you enjoy solving complex, real-world engineering problems and want to make an impact through hands-on innovation, we would love to hear from you.
