Senior MEP Design Engineer (Electrical & HVAC Focus)

Join a Team Engineering the Future of Construction : Modular Building Technology (MBT)

Location : IITM Research Park (RP), Tharamani, Chennai

About Us

We are transforming construction through revolutionary Modular Building Technology (MBT) .

Inspired by empowering individuals through personal, high-quality building, our mission is to

create spaces that are intuitive, resilient, and rapidly deployed. We operate with an Intense and

Scrappy ethos, pursuing Scale in everything we do, guided by our MBT Focus to Make Something People Love . This is where Factory-born precision meets the seamless assembly of a LEGO®

system.

The Opportunity : Engineering Modular Excellence

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior MEP Design Engineer to spearhead the design, standardization, and integration of Electrical and HVAC systems into our modular blocks. You will be crucial in ensuring our systems are factory-precise, easily connected on-site, cost

effective, and fully aligned with our core principle of Intuitive Assembly .

Key Responsibilities

1. Design, Engineering & Standardization

Modular System Design (Electrical) : Lead the design and development of standardized, scalable, and pre-wired modular electrical systems, including lighting, power distribution (LV panels, circuits), fire alarm systems, and low-voltage systems, ensuring Poka-Yoke (mistake proofing) principles for on-site connections.

Modular System Design (HVAC) : Design high-efficiency, compact, and standardized HVAC solutions (e.G., decentralized split / VRF systems, ventilation) suitable for modular integration, focusing on energy performance and seamless mechanical connection points between modules.

Engineering Calculations : Execute and validate detailed engineering calculations, including :

Electrical : Load schedules, short-circuit calculations, cable sizing, voltage drop analysis, lighting lux levels, and earthing / lightning protection.

HVAC : Heat load calculations (ASHRAE / IS standards), duct sizing, fan selection, and air flow distribution plans.

2. Commercial & Quality Control

Rate Analysis & Estimation : Perform comprehensive cost and Rate Analysis for all Electrical and HVAC components and assemblies to support competitive pricing for tenders and B2B projects, prioritizing value engineering for scale.

BOM & Quality Check : Generate, verify, and check the accuracy of Bills of Materials (BOM) and technical specifications to ensure Factory-born precision and consistency, eliminating material wastage and ensuring procurement aligns with design intent.

Drawing & Documentation Check : Be the final check authority for all design layouts, shop drawings, and as-built documents to ensure compliance with relevant international (IEC, ASHRAE, etc.) and national codes.

3. Leadership & Project Management

MEP Team Leadership (Tenders & B2B) : Act as the MEP Technical Lead for tender submissions, B2B project proposals, and client discussions, responsible for formulating the MEP strategy and execution plan.

Cross-functional Collaboration : Work intensively with the Architectural, Structural, and Manufacturing teams to ensure the MEP systems integrate seamlessly into the modular blocks, upholding our Team Spirit core value.

Innovation & Improvement : Proactively identify and resolve technical design and manufacturing issues, ensuring that the MEP systems enhance the user experience and support our rapid construction timeline ( Speeding up construction ).

Qualifications & Core Values Alignment

Education : Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

Experience : 6+ years of progressive experience in MEP design, specifically involving Electrical and HVAC systems, with significant prior experience in modular construction, prefabrication, or off-site manufacturing.

Technical Skills : Proficiency in relevant design software (e.G., AutoCAD, Revit MEP, DIALux / Relux, HAP / Trace 700).

Values Alignment : Must be driven by our Core Values, embracing the belief that Scale is Magic and possessing the mindset that Nothing is someone else’s problem . A strong commitment to our MBT Focus is essential.

Why Join Us?

This is your chance to be part of something bigger. We offer :

High-Impact Role : Directly contribute to the success and growth of a pioneering company.

Cutting-Edge Projects : Work on innovative modular construction projects that are shaping the future of the built environment.

Professional Development : Opportunities for continuous learning, professional growth, and career advancement.

Team - Core Values

M.B.T focus (Modular Building Technology)

We are committed to building fast, safe, intuitive beneficial MBT that will have a massive positive impact on people’s future.

Anything that doesn’t help with that is out of scope.

Intense and scrappy

• Building something exceptional requires hard work (often on unglamorous stuff) and urgency;

everything that we choose to do) is important.

find the best ideas wherever they come from.

Scale

We believe that scale—in our models, our systems, ourselves, our processes, and our ambitions—is magic. When in doubt, scale it up.

Make something people love

Our technology and products should have a transformative positive effect on people’s lives.

Team spirit

Our biggest advances and differentiation come from effective collaboration in and across teams. Although our teams have increasingly different identities and priorities, the overall purpose and goals have to remain perfectly aligned.

Nothing is someone else’s problem.
