OMRT is evolving. We are transitioning to a platform-first approach, fostering deep enterprise collaborations that are reshaping the real estate industry. Our Engineering capability is growing, and we are looking for talented Computational Engineers at medior and senior levels to join our team. In this role, you will work at the intersection of architecture, data science, and software engineering to deliver high-impact "Runs" across Urban Physics, Scenario Design, and BIM analysis on a global scale.
What you’ll do
As a Computational Engineer, you'll help turn complex real estate design problems into structured, repeatable parametric scripts.
Your responsibilities include:
Execute High-Impact Delivery - Technical execution of complex design studies, ensuring our outputs are the most sophisticated and accurate in the market.-
Engineer Scalable Logic - Design and refine parametric scripts that power our platform, moving beyond one-off scripts to create repeatable, intelligent systems.
-
Innovate Across Domains - Apply your expertise to diverse challenges, from optimising urban microclimates and physics simulations to complex financial feasibility studies.
-
Assist Platform development - Reporting to our software and product teams on issues in integrating computational workflows into the OMRT platform, indirectly influencing our technical roadmap.
-
Problem Solving - Proactively identify technical hurdles in design automation and aid in engineering creative, robust solutions to overcome them.
Education and experience
-
A BSc or MSc in Architecture, Urban Design, Computational Design, or Building Technology.
-
Professional experience of Parametric Design in architecture or Building environments.
-
A proven track record of delivering professional parametric real estate projects (we value studio/agency experience where you’ve shipped real-world products).
Skills
-
Computational Design - Proven ability to translate architectural real estate design challenges into computational logic and data-driven workflows.
-
Parametric Scripting - Demonstrable expertise in Grasshopper and Rhino 3D is a must. Experience with Python or C# is a plus.
-
Simulation & Analysis - Knowledge of building physics and spatial data analysis. Experience in Ladybug and Honeybee tools is a plus.
-
Digital Integration – Understanding of how to bridge the gap between parametric design and BIM (Revit/IFC) for seamless project delivery is a plus.
-
BIM Literacy - Working knowledge of Revit or IFC workflows for integrated deliverables is a plus.
Behaviours
-
Team-First Collaborator - You thrive in a multi-disciplinary environment, enjoying the process of working "in and with" a team to solve complex, integrated workflows.
-
Open & Receptive Attitude - You maintain a non-defensive, transparent approach to your work; you actively welcome constructive technical feedback and provide it to others to elevate the team's standard.
-
Active Knowledge Sharer - You believe in collective growth rather than working in a silo, proactively contributing solved problems, new findings, and script improvements to the company’s knowledge base.
-
Proactively Communicative - You raise technical blockers and scope ambiguities early and specifically, ensuring that the team and team leads are never surprised by compounding issues.
-
Methodical & Standard-Oriented - You follow established processes and frameworks with discipline, ensuring your work is reliable, repeatable, and easily understood by your peers.
-
Precision-oriented - You take immense pride in the quality of your output, rigorously self-validating your work to ensure zero deviations from the team’s quality standards.
-
Curious & Growth-driven – You are motivated by development goals and stay engaged with the "why" behind parametric tools, always looking for ways to integrate new AI/ML trends into the team's workflow.
-
Commercially Aware – You understand the value of time and manage your capacity with discipline to support the team’s overall delivery goals.
