thermal engineer
Thermal engineers design systems which provide heating or cooling, using thermodynamics, that transfer heat or energy through liquids and gases. They also construct these systems, and perform test to ensure proper functionality.
Also called: thermal technology engineering expert, thermal engineering adviser, thermal power engineer, thermal engineers, thermal plant operator, thermal technology engineer, thermal technology engineering specialist, battery thermal system engineer
