Mechanical Engineer – R&D; (Foldable Cabin & Modular Systems)? About Us
At MBT R&D;, we're reimagining how people build. Our mission is to create Modular Building Technology (MBT) that empowers individuals and communities by making construction intuitive, fast, reliable, and scalable. We believe in building something so advanced yet easy that it transforms space into an inspiring extension of human imagination.
We’re a small, intense, collaborative, and relentlessly ambitious team—focused on making the future of construction a reality. If you thrive in pushing boundaries, embracing technical challenges, and bringing scientific ideas into real-world applications, this is where you belong.

? Role Overview
We are looking for a high‑agency Mechanical Engineer to drive the research and development of our next‑generation foldable cabin and snap‑on steel connection system. This is not just another design role—you’ll be inventing, testing, iterating, and scaling a system that we aim to be the best foldable cabin in the world.
This role demands someone who is hands‑on, scrappy,



and relentless about solving problems. You won’t just analyze systems—you’ll own them, from concept sketch to field‑ready prototype to manufacturing optimization.

? What You’ll Do
• Research & Concept Development
• Explore new concepts in foldable structures, modular systems, and snap‑fit connection mechanisms.
• Study scientific principles in material science, structural mechanics, and applied physics to inform design.
• Design & Simulation
• Develop models and prototypes using SolidWorks, ANSYS simulation, and AutoCAD.
• Run stress, fatigue, kinematics, and motion analysis simulations for foldable structures and steel connections.
• Optimise for structural safety, ease of assembly, durability, and lower manufacturing complexity.

Prototyping & Testing
• Build and test working prototypes of foldable cabins and modular joints.
• Work hands‑on with workshop teams to troubleshoot, refine, and validate
