Research & Development is of enormous importance to Océ. In 2009, Océ invested approximately €225 million, or 8% of total revenues, in R&D. Océ operates research centers in nine different countries worldwide, staffed by more than 1550 highly-skilled professionals. For more information please visit: Thermodynamic Designer Océ is primarily known for its high quality print systems for drawing offices, print rooms and production environments, but also for its document solutions and outsourcing. At our own R&D locations worldwide, Océ products are invented and engineered. In Venlo are about 800 people working at R&D, and our Mechanical Development departments are located here. These departments are responsible for the constructions within our print systems, but for the thermodynamic processes also. For one of these departments we are looking for a thermodynamic designer, who has the ambition to bring in innovative solutions regarding our heat and energy management. But did you know heat is necessary for the printing process? Thermodynamics play a crucial role in the development of Océ Printers. Heat, for instance, is necessary to fixate and dry ink on to paper. And cold air plays a role in the cooling of paper. As a thermodynamic designer, you are working in a multidisciplinary project. This means that your thermodynamic design has to fit in an overall multidisciplinary design that gets a printer running. Within your team you are responsible for problems about the air, heat and energy management in a print system. Therefore you use your knowledge of thermodynamics and modeling to create a concept and/or solve a problem within the boundaries set by the project. As a thermodynamic designer, you come up with keen design solutions that make our printers more sustainable. You are looking for a job where you have a lot of freedom in designing solutions. Thereby you see it as a challenge to improve our current thermodynamic designs. Is this the job you are looking for? You hold a Msc. in the field of thermodynamics, or you are a PhD. Thereby you like to design solutions and you have an extended knowledge of thermodynamic processes and modeling. You are able to convert this knowledge into concepts, and into working solutions. Also, you are acquainted with subjects around energy efficiency. You can describe yourself as entrepreneurial, communicative, proactive and quality oriented. Also, you like to work in a team. In your role you take your responsibility regarding thermodynamic problems and you are able to discuss designs with team members from the other disciplines. Information We offer not only a challenging post within an international company, but above all a career with very good perspectives and personal development opportunities. Obviously you will receive an excellent salary, profit sharing and attractive leave arrangements. To learn more about Océ and its global activities, please visit Do you think you fit in our team?
