Company Overview & Brand Philosophy

Greencore India is an ISO 9001:2015 certified pioneer in the manufacturing of sustainable, high-

strength engineered building materials. Under our flagship brand, ECOCEL™, we design and

manufacture high-performance structural systems, including Honeycomb Doors, Wall Partitions,

and Ceiling Access Systems.

At the core of ECOCEL™ technology is our advanced, recycled paper honeycomb structure.

Engineered to mimic nature's most structurally efficient geometry, EECOCEL™ provides an

unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional flatness, and dimensional stability. Our systems

reduce carbon footprints, maximize resource efficiency, and meet the rigorous acoustic,

structural, and environmental compliance demands of modern commercial and residential

construction.

As we scale our operations, we are seeking a dynamic and innovative Product Development &

R&D Engineer to lead the engineering, design, and commercialization of our brand-new modular

ECOCEL™ Wall Partition System. This role will be based at our corporate headquarters and

manufacturing plant in Bangalore, India.

Job Title: Product Development & R&D Engineer (Partition Systems)

31/1B, Ramasandra Village, Jigani Hobli, Anekal Taluk, Bangalore -

Location: Survey No. 562106

Karnataka, India

Department: Research & Development / Product Engineering

Reports To: Head of Engineering / Director

Employment Type: Full-time

Position Summary

We are looking for a hands-on, creative, and detail-oriented R&D Engineer with a solid background

in building envelope engineering, modular drywalls, architectural extrusions, or lightweight

sandwich panel structures. The primary mandate of this position is to design, prototype,

structurally analyze, and certify a next-generation ECOCEL™ partition system targeting high sound transmission class.

You will guide the product lifecycle from initial hand-sketches and CAD layouts to laboratory

certification, tooling setup, assembly-line design, and active site-installation support.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product Design & CAD Modeling

Develop comprehensive 2D layouts and 3D CAD models of new partition structures, including

vertical upright joints, perimeter double-T channels and interlocking joint splines.

Design architectural-grade aluminium frame profiles with structural ribbed channels for joint mudding.

Optimize structural sandwich panel interfaces integrating ECOCEL™ Kraft Honeycomb core with dual-facing sheets.

2. R&D Prototype & Validation Testing

Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate deflection behavior, structural shear

strength, impact resistance, and maximum span calculations under simulated wind loads and

occupancy pressures.

Lead structural prototyping and physical load-testing at our Jigani facility to ensure structural

compliance with IS 4020:1998 standards.

Establish acoustic attenuation profiles, selecting sound-dampening composites and gasketing

layouts to optimize acoustic transmission loss.

Direct the preparation and coordination of official physical testing sequences with external

certifying bodies, such as the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) NVH division

for sound transmission loss.

3. Green Certification & Compliance Integration

Design the partition assembly line to maximize the utilization of non-hazardous, zero-VOC

water-based binders and sustainably managed materials.

Map and document product parameters to meet compliance requirements for Indian Green

Building Council (IGBC) New Building Rating System credits (Materials & Resources, Indoor

Environmental Quality).

4. Manufacturing Scale-Up & Quality Engineering

Work closely with the plant production team to design specialized fabrication jigs, routing,

configurations, and assembly steps that reduce installation labor by up to .

Collaborate with tooling vendors and extrusion partners to approve die layouts, verify

tolerance stacks ( ±1.0 mm

tolerances), and perform dry-runs.

Author engineering change orders (ECO), technical product datasheets, standard operating

procedures (SOP), and step-by-step site installation manuals.

Requirements & Qualifications

Education & Experience

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Civil /

Structural Engineering, Industrial Design, or a closely related engineering discipline.

Experience: Minimum of 3 − 6 years

of direct product design and development experience

in structural drywalls, modular partitioning, office furniture systems, fenestration, or

composite sandwich panel fabrication.

Technical Competencies

CAD/FEA Tooling: Expert-level mastery of 3D CAD modeling software (SolidWorks, Autodesk

Inventor, or Fusion 360) and 2D drafting platforms (AutoCAD). Practical experience using FEA

software for mechanical stress/deflection analysis is highly desired.

Materials Science: Deep knowledge of building-component engineering, particularly

architectural aluminium extrusions, high-density gypsum board, paper

honeycomb core geometry, and structural bonding adhesives.

Standards & Certifications: Practical understanding of building codes and testing

procedures, including ASTM E-90 / ISO 10140-2 (airborne sound transmission loss), ASTM E-

chat_spark

413 (STC rating), and IS 4020 (mechanical integrity).

Sustainability Alignment: General knowledge of green building rating frameworks (such as

IGBC, LEED, or GRIHA) and green procurement requirements.

Soft Skills

Robust analytical problem-solving skills; comfortable with managing loose tolerances and

navigating technical trade-offs.

Exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills to interface with production

operators, external laboratory engineers, and architects.

A self-directed, entrepreneurial spirit optimized for working in a fast-growing, agile

manufacturing company.

Why Join Greencore India?

Pioneer Clean Construction: Play a leading role in building a plastic-free, low-carbon future

using ECOCEL™ engineering systems.

Comprehensive Ownership: Manage your designs from the CAD screen directly to the shop

floor and see them installed in prominent commercial and corporate workspaces.

Modern Facilities: Work out of our active manufacturing facility and engineering lab located

in Jigani’s green industrial corridor.
