In this role, you will work across different projects to assess a building material's impact on energy and comfort performance and facilitate new product development with BU teams. You will primarily use simulation software and onsite measurements to quantify the product's performance.

We are looking for self-motivated professionals, who can independently design and plan experiments, are good at data analysis, and prepare reports for internal teams and external clients. Domain expertise is required in the following areas: daylighting, thermal and energy assessment through simulations and onsite measurements, MATLAB/Python basic knowledge, data monitoring, and visualization.

Specifications And Key Responsibilities

Perform climate analysis and understand the outdoor conditions for Indian, European, and American cities.
Conduct whole-building simulations that quantify energy consumption, thermal comfort, and visual comfort in different building types, such as offices, residences, hotels, hospitals, etc.
Data analysis of simulation outputs using appropriate tools and comparison with various international or local standards like ASHRAE, ECBC, NBC, etc.
Prepare a standardized report of the analysis and use appropriate infographics to showcase the results effectively
Work with the in-house team to optimize the simulation process and reduce the overall time of the analysis and report generation
Support Glass and Gypsum R&D teams for developing arguments to support products prescription
Support BU R&D teams in new product developments
Conduct onsite measurements for multi-comfort (thermal, visual, AQ, acoustics) assessment inside buildings

The candidate should be enthusiastic to explore and develop new products leveraging publications, journals, and university collaboration

Skills And Knowledge Required

Master's degree or equivalent in Building Science/Energy Efficiency/Thermal/Mechanical/Civil /Architecture with minimum of 2 years experience working in the same domain.
Prior knowledge of building science principles, multi-comfort parameters, and international and local standards (like ASHRAE, ECBC, NBC, etc.)
Proficiency in software, such as I is a must.
Knowledge of tools like AutoCAD and Sketchup is highly desirable.
Should have excellent written and verbal communication skills and must be well organized and punctual.
Experience with data acquisition, instrument control, and instrumentation configurations would be an add-on.

Knowledge of post-processing software related to big data like MATLAB and MS excel would be an add-on.
