Senior Computational Designer – Parametric Facade & Ceilings

Title: Senior Computational Designer – Parametric Metal Facade & Ceiling Systems

Location: Agra – On-site

Experience: 2–5 years

Industry: Architectural products / Metal facades / Ceilings

About the role

This role leads the parametric design and digital workflow for innovative metal facade and ceiling systems, from concept through to fabrication-ready output. The person will work closely with founders, engineering, and production teams to build an integrated design-to-manufacturing setup.

Key responsibilities

Develop parametric models and scripts for metal facades, ceilings, baffles, and feature walls using Rhino + Grasshopper (and similar tools).

Translate architectural intent into modular, system-based solutions that can be mass-customized across multiple projects.

Generate 3D models, 2D drawings, panel layouts, perforation patterns, and fixing details that are directly usable by engineering and fabrication teams.

Collaborate with structural/mechanical engineers to ensure designs are buildable, structurally sound, and optimized for installation.

Create and maintain internal design libraries: patterns, perforation logics, panel modules, brackets, and connection details for repeated use.

Work with production/operations to optimize designs for laser cutting, CNC, bending, nesting, and minimal material waste.

Support R&D mockups and prototypes, iterating quickly based on fabrication feedback and site learnings.

Contribute to development of digital workflows that link design parameters to BOQs, costing, and production data.

Provide design support to sales/BD: rapid visualizations, options, and design studies for client presentations.

Mentor junior designers (as the team grows) in parametric design thinking and digital fabrication best practices.

Required skills and qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture, Computational Design, Industrial Design, or related field.

2+ years of experience in parametric design for architecture/interiors/products; experience with facades, ceilings, or metal systems is a strong plus.

Expert-level proficiency in Rhino and Grasshopper.

Good understanding of digital fabrication: laser cutting, CNC, sheet metal bending, and tolerance/fit-up issues.

Ability to write and manage Grasshopper definitions for real projects (panelization, perforation, patterning, data extraction, etc.).

Working knowledge of at least one of: Revit, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar CAD/BIM tools.

Strong 3D visualization and presentation skills; ability to communicate design options clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Comfort working in a fast-paced R&D environment with quick iterations, ambiguity, and evolving product lines.

Good communication skills and collaborative attitude to work closely with engineers, production, and sales teams.

Nice to have

Scripting experience (Python or C# inside Grasshopper).

Experience in productization: taking one-off designs and turning them into scalable systems.

Exposure to acoustic systems, sustainability, or life-cycle thinking in building products.

What we offer

Opportunity to build India’s next-generation parametric facade & ceiling brand from the ground up.

Direct access to decision-makers and freedom to shape design tools, systems, and workflows.

A culture that values experimentation, prototyping, and deep integration between design and manufacturing.
