Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Modulus Housing Full time

Join the Revolution in Modular Construction

Are you a Structural Engineering Researcher driven by first-principle thinking and a passion for innovation? Ready to rethink how buildings are designed and assembled? At Modulus Housing—an IIT Madras-born, VC-backed startup with an audacious vision to revolutionize modular construction—we're redefining the future of how the world builds.

About Us

Where We Are

  • Delivering standardized, high-quality modular buildings with fully integrated systems.
  • Deploying structures up to 70% faster—over 1,000 units delivered across 21 states in just two years.
  • Serving sectors like healthcare, education, housing, defense, and industry through a cloud-based, decentralized manufacturing network.

Where We're Going

  • Advancing digital design, automation, and sustainable practices for smarter, greener, and more scalable industrialised construction.
  • Setting new benchmarks in speed, quality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility for the modular construction industry.
  • Innovating in materials, design, and manufacturing to make infrastructure more accessible, resilient, and future-ready.

The Opportunity: Topology Optimization Researcher (Reinforced Concrete)

As our Topology Optimization Researcher, you'll spearhead the development of advanced computational frameworks to optimize modular RC components for scalable manufacturing, rapid assembly, and exceptional structural performance like high strength to weight ratio. Your expertise will be integral to our digital construction platform—transforming how we design, engineer, and deliver next-generation high-performance infrastructure.

What You'll Do

  • Formulate and implement state-of-the-art topology optimization algorithms for reinforced concrete elements, leveraging finite element analysis and nonlinear material modeling.
  • Integrate real-world constraints including code compliance (IS/ACI/Eurocode), constructability, reinforcement detailing, and lifecycle durability into optimization workflows.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team spanning structural engineering, computational design, and manufacturing systems to translate digital solutions into scalable, real-world products.
  • Validate and refine optimization outcomes through high-fidelity simulation, physical prototyping, and field deployment.
  • Disseminate research findings via documents and presentations.

What We're Looking For

  • PhD (or near completion), MTech, or MS in Structural/Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline.
  • Proven expertise in topology optimization, reinforced concrete design, and advanced numerical methods (nonlinear FEA).
  • Proficiency in scientific programming and computational modeling (MATLAB, Python, C++, or similar).
  • Strong foundation in first-principle engineering, with a proven ability to translate theoretical insights into practical, manufacturable solutions.
  • Experience with modular construction, industrialized building systems is a plus.

We are open to discussing a competitive compensation package that reflects your expertise and the impact you'll bring to our team. Let's find a mutually rewarding arrangement that supports your growth and our mission.

Excited to shape the future of infrastructure with us?
