Engineer – CFD / Fire and Egress Modeling

Overview

Engineer role supporting fire engineering and life safety projects through CFD, fire and smoke modeling, and egress simulations for performance-based analysis.

What you'll do

• Carry out CFD fire and smoke modeling using FDS / PyroSim for complex geometries.
• Develop credible fire scenarios in line with codes, standards, and project requirements.
• Perform egress and evacuation modeling using Pathfinder, MassMotion, STEPS, or similar tools.
• Assess evacuation times, crowd movement, congestion, and exit capacities to support ASET/RSET and performance-based design.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations for clients and approval authorities.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to support project delivery and QA.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Fire, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering (or related discipline).
• 5–10 years of experience in CFD fire modeling and egress analysis.
• Hands-on experience developing 3D models for complex facilities (e.g., airports, stadiums) using PyroSim, Pathfinder, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of fire dynamics, smoke control, and international codes and standards (NFPA / IBC).
• Excellent technical report writing, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Nice to have

• Experience on Middle East projects involving regulatory authority approvals.

Details

• Based in Mumbai, with hybrid / remote work options.
• Will handle projects across international locations.
