Meet Jean, our Test & Laboratory Engineer
This is the first in our series of articles highlighting the great team members that we have here at Calyos. First up we have our latest addition, Jean he joined us in March as a test and laboratory engineer.
What have you enjoyed so far?
First is clearly the atmosphere. The team is awesome, they all provided me with a warm welcome and are on hand to help answer all the questions I have about products and solutions, the theory behind the tech and the way it should be tested. Second is the job itself, the testing area is were our solutions come to life, it's amazing to see what this passive technology can do! Plus I get to experiment with all the parameters with the ultimate goal of achieving the best performance.
What are you looking forward to?
St Eloi on the 12th of July (Our upcoming team building event)! More seriously, I'd like to get more autonomous in my area, it'll come with time. My experience is more in electrical as opposed to thermal engineering.
What ambitions have you got for the role?
There are several topics to improve in the lab. I think a fresh set of eyes can apply and improve our organisation and I can make my stamp using my experience in 6S. Plus collect the data from our prototype solutions will be critical to enable us to continue to improve our products further.
What do you like doing outside of work?
I love to do a lots of things, particularly outdoors, but my little one, who is 6 months old, is not keen on letting me get out much! I love to ride my bicycle, it's a gravel bike that allows me to go far both on road and on rougher terrain. My brain also enjoys running but my knees do not always allow it. I am quite occupied doing plenty of DIY in my house because we just moved in after 9 months of drastic modification. Lastly I love to spend some time with the scouts group, I will likely be going again to camp this summer.
Huge thanks to Jean for stepping up and being the first to feature in this series!

What
Calyos is one of the world's leading experts in two-phase (liquid to vapour) heat transfer technologies. Calyos has developed a number of solutions for three specific cooling applications; power electronics, processors and batteries. Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery. Calyos primarily targets the E-Mobility and Computing markets, where electrification and data processing are creating ever-rising demand for new, disruptive thermal solutions.
When
Calyos was incorporated in 2014 and is a spin-off from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP) who successfully developed similar two-phase technology for the space industry. EHP was incorporated in 2001 and today holds a majority market share in the European satellite market. Airbus D&S is now the majority shareholder in EHP. Calyos has been developing the technology for ground applications. This has involved a considerable amount of research and development, including developing flat evaporators, switching the working fluid to a dielectric green refrigerant and working on real-world applications such as those mentioned above.
Where
Calyos is based in Charleroi, Belgium. Calyos operates a factory side-by-side with our engineering team at this location and currently all of Calyos' production comes from this factory. Calyos supplies its products all across the world, including Asia, North America, Europe and South America.
Who
At Calyos we are a diverse group of talented individuals galvanised by the pursuit of establishing our disruptive, sustainable technology in our target markets. Remaining curious enables continued innovation as we work together to achieve our mission.
How
Calyos is built around four core values:
1. Applied Knowledge: Our technology is worthless unless we can get in it out there in the market. We strive to apply our knowledge and experience to real world applications.
2. Better Together: We succeed together. We view everyone from our customers to our shareholders as part of our team. Without working together we are nothing.
3. Inherent Flexibility: No thermal problem is the same. Therefore we strive to build flexibility into not only our solutions but also our working practices. This allows us to evolve with the market.
4. R-R-Research: Nothing stands still. As experts in our field, we must continue to innovate. We can then return to our first point and re-apply these innovations to real world applications.
Why
Our mission is to solve the greatest thermal challenges by enabling the adoption of the best, passive two-phase cooling solutions. Ensuring and delivering a sustainable approach to thermal management in the data-driven and electrified world we are creating.
