NEW POSITION OPENING – JUNIOR TEST ENGINEER
Field: HVAC-R Systems (Cooling/Heating for Automotive)
Workplace location: Brno, Czech Republic
Position Overview:
We are looking for a new colleague for the position of JUNIOR Test Engineer, that supports the
preparation, execution, and documentation of tests for thermal systems.
Main Responsibilities:
Execute defined test procedures under supervision (follow step‑by‑step test plans and safety checklists prepared by senior engineers).
Assist with test bench setup: mount components, route hoses/cables, connect basic sensors (temperature, pressure, flow) and verify correct labeling.
Perform basic pre‑test checks: cleanliness, visual inspection for leaks/loose fittings, confirm refrigerant type and quantity with guidance.
Operate measurement equipment at a basic level (thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters) and record readings accurately.
Log and organize data using company templates (Excel/CSV or simple DAQ interfaces), ensure traceability and version control.
Maintain a test logbook: document test conditions, anomalies, and time stamps; escalate issues to the lab leader promptly.
Support routine maintenance of test benches and tools (cleaning, 5S organization, scheduling calibration checks with senior staff).
Follow safety procedures consistently
Participate in onboarding and training: learn HVAC‑R basics, DAQ fundamentals, and internal standards; complete required certifications.
Contribute to continuous improvement by reporting simple process gaps, suggesting checklist updates, and helping standardize fixtures.
Required Skills:
Technical:
• Foundational knowledge of measurements and sensors (temperature, pressure, flow) and basic thermodynamics/heat transfer concepts.
• Ability to read simple schematics and assembly drawings; comfortable with standard hand tools and careful mechanical work.
• Attention to detail, cleanliness, and a strong safety mindset in a lab environment.
Personal:
• Attention to detail, cleanliness, and a strong safety mindset in a lab environment.

• Willingness to learn and take feedback; proactive, hands‑on attitude.
• Language: Czech + English (intermediate)
Nice‑to‑have (learning targets, not strict requirements):
• Exposure to HVAC‑R or thermo‑fluid labs (school projects, internships).
• Familiarity with DAQ systems (e.g., NI, simple LabVIEW panels) or basic scripting (Python) for data cleaning/plotting.
• Understanding of calibration basics, 5S lab organization, and ESD/quality practices.
• Intro knowledge of automotive test environments and safe refrigerant handling (under supervision).
