About the Role:

Seeking a technically proficient and analytical Junior Research Engineer to support numerical simulation, FEM model development, and analytical data generation for TRC wall panel systems.

This role will focus on developing finite element models, running parametric studies, simulating failure behaviors, and supporting the creation of a comprehensive digital design guide. The objective is to validate and optimize TRC panel configurations through advanced modelling in parallel with experimental testing.

Key Responsibilities:

Model Development & Simulation

• Support the Senior Research Engineer in building 2D/3D FEM models of TRC panels using tools like Abaqus / ANSYS 
• Simulate key performance factors including:
• Bending & shear behavior
• Progressive damage and cracking
• Prestressing effects and fabric stress distribution
• Sandwich panel performance under wind/seismic loading

Analytical Parametric Studies

• Execute design variations across:
• Fabric volume fraction, orientation, and material type
• Skin-core interface properties
• Panel geometries and loading conditions
• Perform mesh sensitivity, material nonlinearity, and boundary condition optimization.

Result Validation & Reporting

• Correlate simulation outcomes with experimental test results.
• Prepare simulation result plots, stress-strain curves, and failure mode visualizations.
• Assist in writing technical reports, datasheets, and documentation of analytical methodology.

Required Qualifications:

• M.E. in Structural Engineering, Computational Mechanics, or Civil Engineering
• 0–2 years of experience or strong project/internship work in FEM modelling
• Proficient with at least one FEM platform (Abaqus preferred)

Desired Skills & Attributes:

• Strong fundamentals in mechanics of materials, cementitious composites, and fracture analysis
• Understanding of TRC/Ferrocement behavior is a plus
• Knowledge of Python/MATLAB for scripting and automation (optional but beneficial)
• Keen eye for design validation, result interpretation, and report preparation
• Collaborative mindset with ability to coordinate with experimental teams

Growth Opportunity:

• Hands-on experience in developing digital twin models for real-world composite systems
• Exposure to multiscale simulation techniques and failure prediction modeling
• Active participation in product-level design development of a novel TRC wall system

Join the Team That's Redefining the Future of Construction

Imagine a world where buildings come together as effortlessly as LEGO bricks — precision-engineered modules crafted in factories, delivered with unmatched speed, and assembled with intuitive simplicity.

At the heart of this vision is our cutting-edge Research & Development team, relentlessly working to turn this bold future into a reality.

What We're Building

We are pioneering Modular Building Technology (MBT) — a transformative construction system that blends:

• Factory-level quality and consistency
• Rapid, scalable on-site assembly
• Innovation rooted in science and inspired by simplicity

We're not just designing buildings — we're engineering systems that empower people to create spaces that are faster to build, safer to inhabit, and smarter to live in.

Who You'll Work With

You'll become part of a vibrant ecosystem where:

• Seasoned engineers bring wisdom from decades of experience
• Young innovators challenge boundaries with fresh ideas
• Cross-disciplinary minds from materials science, structural design, digital modeling, and fabrication unite around a single goal

We thrive on collaboration over hierarchy, and value every voice at the table — because true innovation happens when diverse perspectives align.

R&D Team Charter – Modular Building Technology (MBT)

This charter outlines the foundational principles, strategy, and cultural DNA that guide our R&D team in executing the mission of MBT — a vision to transform the way the world builds.

Our Mission

To create a next-generation Modular Building Technology that empowers and enriches lives — a system so advanced in quality, precision, and reliability, yet so intuitive and seamless in assembly, that anyone, anywhere can build inspiring, durable, and scalable spaces.

We envision MBT as a breakthrough in micro-construction — combining factory-made modules, snap-fit simplicity, and scientific depth, engineered to benefit not just individuals, but all of humanity.

Our Principles

1. Democratizing Construction Innovation

We commit to broadly distributing the benefits of MBT by:

• Embedding scientific innovation at the core — from physics and chemistry to structural engineering and material science.
• Closing the gap between institutions and individuals by enabling decentralised construction empowerment.
• Making high-end construction technology accessible, modular, and replicable.

2. Transforming Science into Real-World Impact

Our duty is to convert scientific breakthroughs into user-centric, real-world solutions.

We break silos by:

• Listening to end users and understanding ground realities.
• Partnering with construction communities to ensure seamless adoption.
• Designing systems that are not only innovative but intuitive and practical.

3. Safety at Scale – Without Slowing Down Innovation

We recognize that scaling fast is necessary, but safety at scale is non-negotiable.

• Like supercars engineered to perform safely at high speeds, MBT must be resilient under rapid deployment.
• We aim to anticipate and address potential failures before scaling, not after — through simulation, prototyping, and robust frameworks.

4. Technical Leadership with Purpose

Policy and advocacy aren't enough. To shape the future of construction:

• We must be on the cutting edge of MBT capabilities.
• We strive to lead with depth, not just opinion — bringing a combination of technical rigor, architectural elegance, and systemic insight.

5. Radical Collaboration

We don't build in silos. We build with the world.

• Collaborating with scientists, architects, engineers, policymakers, health experts, and communities.
• Engaging internal and external stakeholders — from customers and companies to grassroots builders.
• Balancing openness and intellectual property protection, fostering innovation while respecting creator contributions.

Core Values That Drive Our Team

MBT-First Focus

• We are relentlessly focused on building modular, fast, safe, intuitive systems that scale impact.
• If it doesn't serve MBT, it's out of scope.

Intense & Scrappy

• We work with urgency and ownership.
• We embrace the unglamorous, chase the unconventional, and do whatever it takes to make things work — always guided by truth and effectiveness.

Think & Build at Scale

• We believe in the magic of scale — in our thinking, systems, ambitions, and models.
• When in doubt? Scale it up.

Make Things People Love

• Our work should create joy, utility, and meaning in people's lives.
• We aren't just building walls — we're shaping spaces that inspire, protect, and uplift.

Team Spirit

True breakthroughs come from collaboration.

• We embrace cross-functional synergy, even when our teams differ in priorities.
• Our alignment of purpose ensures all efforts move us toward the same vision.

Own It – Nothing Is "Someone Else's Problem"

• We take complete ownership — of problems, solutions, decisions, and outcomes.
• We act with integrity, initiative, and a bias toward action.

In Summary

The future of construction is not built by chance — it is engineered by conviction, collaboration, and creativity. Through this Charter, we affirm our commitment to making MBT a living innovation — one that's built on science, scaled through trust, and designed to serve people, planet, and purpose.
