About the Role

Carrier's Innovation COE is seeking talented individuals to develop innovative and novel intelligent Climate and Energy technologies in HVAC&R applications. As a Principal Systems Engineer, you will be a technical leader driving the development of novel systems and technologies from concept through validation, shaping high-impact innovation programs to improve performance, cost, sustainability, and digital capabilities.

Responsibilities

Lead and drive the technical vision and development of novel systems and technologies from concept through proof-of-concept and validation
Lead R&D efforts; explore new technologies and tools, review patents, journals, and publicly available data to synthesize technical feasibility, and propose strategies for disruptive technologies
Translate ambiguous problem statements into structured technical approaches, experiments, and learning plans
Define system architectures, requirements, and key technical tradeoffs for early-stage concepts
Drive rapid prototyping, modeling, and experimental validation to reduce technical risk
Identify, evaluate, and mature emerging technologies, including assessing technical feasibility and defining integration paths into future products and value propositions
Develop IP strategies to enable freedom to operate and protect key innovations
Lead cross-functional teams across COEs, platform teams, and business units to ensure alignment and enable successful technology maturation and transition
Partner with external stakeholders, including universities, startups, and industry collaborators, to accelerate innovation
Identify and lead the development of externally funded research proposals, including government-sponsored programs, aligned with strategic technology priorities, and, if awarded, lead programs through technical execution and delivery
Communicate progress, risks, and insights to technical and executive leadership
Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and accountability
Must be self-driven and capable of driving development projects autonomously, while gathering feedback from appropriate experts and stakeholders, and implementing continuous improvement processes
