Reports to: North American Technical Director
About CCR
CCR Commercial Refrigeration is a global leader in sustainable refrigeration solutions for food retail and industrial applications. We combine engineering excellence, disciplined execution, and customer focus to deliver complex programs that support our growth strategy across regions and markets
Role Overview
The Application Engineer is responsible for developing complete refrigeration system solutions, including display cases, condensing units, and rack systems. This role bridges sales, engineering, and customers by translating project requirements into optimized, compliant, and high-performing system designs.
The ideal candidate has strong refrigeration fundamentals and is comfortable working across the full system—from case loads through rack selection and controls strategy—while supporting both pre-sales and project execution. This candidate would be serving North and South America so Spanish & English speaking is a must.
Main Duties & Responsibilities
Develop complete refrigeration system designs, including:
Display case selection and load calculations
Rack and condensing unit sizing (MT/LT systems, CO₂ transcritical/subcritical)
Piping concepts and system architecture
Perform heat load calculations and ensure proper system capacity selection across varying operating conditions
Select and apply key components:
Compressors, gas coolers, evaporators
Expansion devices (EEVs), valves, and controls
Ancillary components (oil management, receivers, etc.)
Support system optimization:
Efficiency (AWEF/energy targets, Title 24 where applicable)
Reliability and serviceability
Startup and operational stability (superheat, suction control, etc.)
Work closely with:
Sales teams to develop proposals and technical solutions
Customers/consultants to review specifications and ensure compliance
Internal engineering teams for product alignment and standardization
Review project specifications and ensure designs meet applicable standards (UL, DOE, local codes, customer specs, etc.)
Provide technical support during:
Project quoting and design phase
Installation and commissioning (as needed)
Issue resolution and performance troubleshooting
Contribute to development of tools, standards, and best practices for system application and selection
Experience & Qualifications
University degree in engineering, business, or a related field
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
3–8+ years of experience in commercial refrigeration
Strong understanding of refrigeration cycles, including CO₂ (R744) systems preferred
Experience with:
Rack systems (parallel compression, ejectors a plus)
Case and evaporator selection
Expansion devices and control strategies
Familiarity with industry standards and regulations:
UL / ETL requirements
DOE / AWEF / Title 24 (preferred)
Proficiency with selection and design tools (manufacturer software, load calculation tools, Excel-based modeling, etc.)
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot system-level issues
Effective communication skills for working with internal teams and external customers
Bi-lingual (Spanish & English)
What Success Looks Like
Consistently delivers accurate, optimized system designs that perform as expected in the field
Reduces design iterations and minimizes field issues (startup instability, capacity mismatches, etc.)
Provides solutions that balance performance, cost, and compliance
Becomes a trusted technical resource for sales teams and customers
Improves standardization and contributes to scalable application practices
Supports successful project execution from concept through commissioning
