Job Description:
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Partition System Engineer with a background in high-end commercial system furniture to lead the structural development of a new modular wall panel system. This is a hands-on R&D role involving the full product lifecycle—from concept validation and prototyping to mass production. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise in modular partitions, acoustic systems, or architectural glazing, with a deep understanding of acoustics, structural integrity, building safety regulations, and premium design aesthetics.
Key Responsibilities
- Modular System Development: Lead the structural design of a reconfigurable wall system, including frame design, connection mechanisms, mounting methods, hidden cabling paths, and hardware integration.
- Technical Design & Prototyping: Produce detailed 2D and 3D engineering drawings (CAD/SolidWorks) BOMs, and technical documentation. Oversee sample prototyping, testing, and structural optimisation to ensure functional and aesthetic quality.
- Building Compliance & Safety: Ensure product designs meet relevant building codes, fire safety, indoor air quality, and occupational health regulations in key international markets. Collaborate with testing bodies to obtain required certifications.
- Documentation & Manuals: Create clear, professional English technical documents, including product specifications, installation guides, maintenance instructions, and warranty manuals.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with product design, engineering, QC, procurement, and suppliers to ensure the structure meets production, cost, and user requirements.
- Product Optimisation & Innovation: Continuously explore new materials, connection technologies, and acoustic strategies. Lead structural innovations to support product standardisation and scalability.
- Quality & Compliance: Ensure designs meet international acoustic standards (e.g. ISO 23351-1, STC/NRC ratings) and are production-ready for global commercial environments.
