Most homes in India are still built by hand, on site, one brick at a time. We build them in a factory: each room is a steel-framed module, finished inside, then trucked to site and stacked. The dream is to build whole buildings the way you'd build a car. One day, towers.

Next year we make our first six modules and stack them into a two-storey block. Our first real building. We're a small team, and most of what it takes doesn't exist yet.

THE MACHINE

Our first factory plan was a normal assembly line. It needed a long shed, a lot of people, and the know-how lived in their heads. So we turned it around: in the Jigcell, the module stays still and the work comes to it.

THE JOB

- Make the Jigcell move: choose the motors and drives, keep everything level and in line, and add the safety stops and the controller that runs it all
- Measure every module that comes off it and time every step. Find what slows us down and fix it
- We also want to automate the plumbing and electrical work. Plan how the Jigcell lays out wiring and pipes, and test every run before the walls close
- Connect our software, which turns a floor plan into modules, prices the materials and writes the drawings and machine files, to the Jigcell, so a design goes straight from the screen to the machine
- Each time someone has to adjust a part by hand, write it down. That list tells us what to automate next





You'll work with Yash (https://www.linkedin.com/in/yash-tak-20881b103/), who runs the Jigcell, and with the mechanical design engineer, who designs what you make move. When we build the second Jigcell, you lead your side of it.

YOU'VE PROBABLY

- Spent 3–6 years setting up real machines on a factory floor
- Worked with PLCs, motor drives and sensors
- Used cameras or laser measuring kit
- Timed a production line and made it faster

PAY AND START

- ₹8–10 lakh a year (CTC) + shares, vesting over 4 years with a 1-year cliff. The less cash you take, the more shares you get
- Salary is for your first 12 months; after that we review it based on your performance
- Remote to start. When our factory opens, you relocate there
- Starts 1 December 2026

HOW WE HIRE

- Email a paragraph about yourself
- A short call
- A design task at home, about four hours. The work stays yours
- A video call with David (https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-john-varghese/) and Yash, where you walk us through it
