Building Science – Simulation Expert

Objective of Position: 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 Saint Gobain Attitudes Level Description Cultivate customer intimacy Extensive Develops customer intimacy through strong focus on solution driven interactions with internal and external customers. Participates/Organizes regular customer visits empathizes with customer feedback ensures to meet customer needs and is proactive to provide creative solutions Act as Entrepreneur Extensive Demonstrates ownership in projects and be result-driven.
