Descripción

At Cooling Photonics we are busy trying to change how we manage heat. We are a startup based
in Barcelona, Spain, working on bringing innovative solutions to heat problems. We work at the
intersection of disciplines such as photonics, nanotechnology and materials engineering. We
develop, manufacture and commercialise innovative and cutting-edge solutions for passive heat
management that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. In day-to-day life, you will
see our core values shining through our "Coolers". The passion and dedication towards our
mission will hit you the moment you walk through our doors - and there's no feeling like it. Our
journey is not plain sailing - it requires proactive, flexible and top performing individuals who
are committed to the world sustainability and energy efficiency. But one thing is for sure - it's
going to be a fun ride Are you ready to change the world with us?

Description of Project:

The objective of the project is to integrate hierarchical patterns on solar photovoltaics to acquire
different functionalities. We are seeking for a thermal engineer to contribute to solve the
challenges of modelling, characterization and field testing of our coatings in relevant
environments. This is driven by the need of producing advanced thermo-functional materials for
PV at industrial scale, which could help to reduce their operation temperature and increase their
efficiency. Our aim is to contribute to reduce the intensive energy use and carbon footprint of
conventional cooling technologies and increase the efficiency of other renewable energy
with industry, market and research.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

We look for exceptional people and give them a level of responsibility, exposure and autonomy
that will accelerate their career.
You will be responsible for modelling the thermal performance of our multi-functional coatings
and you will participate in their experimental characterization, collaborating also in the field
testing.

Responsibilities:

Modelling the thermal performance of multifunctional coatings
Planning, preparation, execution and data analysis of thermal modelling.
Characterization and field testing of our of multifunctional coatings in relevant

environment reporting their thermal performance.

Solve engineering problems in the fields of thermal energy by numerical and

experimental methods

Participate in the design of thermal systems and equipment, heaters and coolers and

field test activities.

Participate in the characterization of the optical and thermal properties of these

coatings by spectroscopy (UVVIS and IR).

Participate in the thermal performance characterization and outdoor field tests for pilot

projects. These tests include improved electric performance of solar cells and the evaluation of the cooling performance obtained by continuous temperature cycle and
net cooling power measurements.

Participate in the conception, the design and the setup of the thermal experiments.
