About Carrier

Carrier Global Corporation, global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions is committed to creating solutions that matter for people and our planet for generations to come. From the beginning, we've led in inventing new technologies and entirely new industries. Today, we continue to lead because we have a world-class, diverse workforce that puts the customer at the center of everything we do.

About this Role
Carrier is looking for software, electrical, mechanical, systems, and other engineering majors with demonstrated leadership ability and strong academic performance to join our competitive Carrier Engineering Leadership Program (ELP). The ELP offers new graduates an opportunity to deliver impactful contributions to strategic projects through three eight-month rotations across various Carrier business units.
ELP rotation locations will be in China Shanghai or Hangzhou or Foshan.
Candidates selected for the program will receive front-line, hands-on, meaningful assignments designed to stretch their capabilities and accelerate their professional development. In addition to the hands-on experience, the program includes high-caliber training, mentorship, and guidance from our diverse team of Carrier executives and program alumni to build a strong and lasting global network of colleagues.
Our Lifecycle Solution & Innovation team is responsible for developing and deploying state-of-the-art HVAC plant system controls and building level lifecycle solutions, digital services with data analytics, fault detection and diagnostics, healthy building solutions, and breakthrough technologies that are used by Carrier HVAC and Refrigeration service team, building system group and product development team for Carrier’s intelligent climate and energy system innovation, operation and maintenance. To help Carrier accelerate its transformation to create global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, we are hiring and empowering a recently graduated research engineer to help us innovate and pursue the development of novel systems in support of Carrier’s plan to develop the next generation of sustainable building solutions. The focus would be on maturing early-stage technologies for disruptive HVAC&R systems, which include breakthrough technologies in the areas of efficient sustainable non-vapor compression-based thermal solutions.
