Research & Development Intern

Join a Team Building the Future of Construction: Imagine a world where buildings snap together like LEGO bricks, born from factories and infused with quality, reliability, and speed. At our core, we're a research and development team relentlessly forging this vision into reality.

Here, you'll join a tapestry of engineers and researchers: seasoned veterans guiding the path, enthusiastic graduates bursting with fresh ideas, and everyone in between, united by a shared passion for innovation. We believe in collaboration, where every voice fuels learning and propels us forward.

Modulus R&D Team Charter

We're seeking an Engineering Intern to join our ranks. Together, we will be developing an Industrialized Construction Technology (ICT) Stack which consists of numerous applied R&D projects running parallelly by combining various fields such as Structural Engineering, Mechanical, and Manufacturing, Computational Design & Engineering (ML, DL), Electrical & Civil Engineering coming together to make ICT mainstream.

Every single R&D Project we are developing with core principles:

  • Robustness at its core: Components engineered to stand strong, year after year
  • Standardization: Minimum number of components/ Subassemblies which will be highly repeatable and scalable used to design, manufacture and assemble
  • Efficient: The most efficient design think it like this design that going to be used for 1000s of buildings

Intuitive application: Building blocks that click into place seamlessly, with no complex tools required

Rapid assembly: From blueprint to reality in a fraction of the time

Cost-effectiveness: Making High-Tech construction accessible to everyone.

The Role

As an R&D Intern, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of building methods by designing, analyzing, prototyping, testing, and validating next-generation Structural and mechanical components, joints, systems, Layouts, Products, Manufacturing & onsite construction processes. You will be working with R&D Engineers on any one of the following projects.

For you working on the Research & Development of the following projects each of them are in different stages from TRL 1- TRL6.

  • Precast Foundation
  • Precast Manufacturing Process & Strategy
  • Topology Optimization
  • Biomechanics-based lifting gears
  • Computational Design & Engineering
  • Cold Form Structural Steel
  • PEB Snap-On Connections
  • Precast Volumetric Concrete
  • Sustainable Concrete
  • Soil Engineering
  • Electrical Wire Harnessing

It's a 6-month rigorous internship program where there is a high probability that you will be learning, working, contributing & delivering more than what you have done in your bachelor's & master's education combined. It will be a perfect place to work for if you want to innovate, learn, grow, fail & do something positive for humanity which requires intense focus, hard work, dedication, sacrifices, failure, toil, perseverance & the pursuit of greatness & bigger purpose. Based on your performance on this internship you will accepted into R&D Tribe.

Evaluation Criteria:

First Principle Thinking: Access to Information is not any more a challenge. Knowing which amongst the ocean of information is relevant to the problem at hand is the biggest challenge that we face. First principles thinking, also known as reasoning from first principles, is a powerful strategy for breaking down complex problems and generating original solutions. It encourages you to think independently and question assumptions.

When faced with the astronomical cost of purchasing rockets for his Mars mission, Elon Musk broke down the problem and founded SpaceX, slashing costs significantly.

System Thinking: Identifying the Root System: The Key to Effective Problem-Solving. Accurately pinpointing the root cause of a problem is essential. Breaking down the problem into manageable parts and processes, identifying potential issues, and ensuring comprehensive coverage of all needs is crucial.

Design Thinking: Designing for Effortless User Experience. Great design anticipates and addresses inherent human limitations to create intuitive and effortless user experiences. Understanding User Needs allows engineers to develop solutions that are intuitive and user-friendly, adaptable to different user skill levels, and resilient to human error.

Skills & Abilities Requirements:

  • Working knowledge of current building codes and standards
  • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical/Civil or Related Field
  • Industrial knowledge in manufacturing and knowledge of advanced building materials are most preferred
  • Demonstrable knowledge in Experimental/analytical research and engineering success
  • Strong engineering and scientific background in an autonomous working culture
  • Broad exposure to construction materials is required
  • Excellent verbal and written communication, and detailed documentation skills
  • Skilled at managing multiple priorities simultaneously and ability to independently execute those priorities
  • Self-motivated and a self-starter with hands-on skills

Behavioural Tendency: First Principle Thinking, Synergy with Vision, Passion for positive contribution to humanity, Availability, Responsibility, Versatility, Resourcefulness, Thoroughness & Attention to Detail, Team spirit, and being the change you want to see in the world.

Tools Knowledge: Proficient in the use of software such as AutoCAD, Revit, Advance Steel Autodesk, Solidworks, Abacus, Anasys, Stadd, ETABS, SAP, Rhino, Grasshopper, Tensorflow, Python, Matlab, Adobe Photoshop.
