Position Title: Automotive Benchmarking Engineer – HVAC Systems & Components
Location: Remote (with required travel for vehicle teardowns, supplier visits, and testing facilities)
Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Automotive Benchmarking Engineer specializing in HVAC Systems and Components to drive vehicle teardown analysis, competitor technical evaluation, and Vehicle Quality/Validation (VO) activities. In this role, you will analyze competitor HVAC architecture (compressors, HVAC modules, blowers, heat exchangers, expansion valves, ducting, and thermal management systems) to evaluate design efficiency, cost reduction opportunities, weight optimization, and overall vehicle thermal performance. You will collaborate remotely with cross-functional integral engineering teams while conducting hands-on teardowns and validation tests on-site as required.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Benchmarking & System Analysis
• Perform complete vehicle teardowns and technical benchmarking of competitor HVAC systems and thermal management components across ICE,



HEV, and BEV platforms.
• Map and evaluate HVAC system architectures, packaging layouts, airflow dynamics, and thermal efficiency.
• Analyze component designs (e.g., HVAC units, compressors, heat exchangers, valves, sensors) for weight, cost, manufacturing feasibility, and material usage.
• Perform reverse engineering and functional evaluations to identify industry best practices, innovations, and cost/design optimization opportunities.
• Deliver structured benchmarking reports, trade-off matrixes, and executive presentations to cross-functional engineering and design teams.

Vehicle Operations (VO) & Physical Validation
• Lead VO (Vehicle Operations / Validation) benchmarking initiatives, including pre- and post-test physical evaluations on prototype and competitor vehicles.
• Coordinate vehicle instrumentation and physical data acquisition (temperature, pressure, airflow, noise/vibration
