Research Engineer - Moisture Measurement

All3 is transforming how buildings are conceived, developed, and delivered. We combine AI-powered design with robotic prefabrication and on-site assembly to build custom architecture at the cost and speed of mass production - unlocking even the most complex sites.

We’re currently seeking a Research Engineer - Moisture Measurement to systematise knowledge on moisture control in timber structures. You will analyse best practices, design emergency-response protocols, and turn field and sensor data into software-ready rules that automate monitoring and reporting.

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive moisture management framework for mass-timber structures, covering design, prefabrication, transportation, and on-site assembly phases.
• Map and integrate best practices for drainage, ventilation, drying strategies, material protection, and detailing — aligning with standards and field-proven protocols.
• Design and validate inspection and acceptance protocols for moisture-critical concealed works (e.g., connections, cavities, CLT interfaces), ensuring traceability through digital QA tools.
• Define sensor deployment strategies including sensor selection, calibration, placement logic, and data interpretation thresholds for different timber systems.
• Develop decision trees and automated response rules for elevated readings, leaks, and condensation, including alert levels, mitigation workflows, and verification routines.
• Lead field studies and laboratory tests to characterise material moisture behaviour, sorption curves, drying rates, and boundary conditions under real-world exposure.
• Translate research and data insights into software requirements—standardising monitoring schemas, dashboards, and automated reporting logic.
• Collaborate across disciplines (electronics, software, design, and construction teams) to ensure alignment between physical testing, digital data models, and QA documentation.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation and training materials for designers, site engineers, and maintenance teams.
• Continuously track and benchmark industry standards and research to update internal guidance and inform future product iterations.

• Deep understanding of building physics, especially hygrothermal behaviour, moisture buffering, diffusion, and condensation risk assessment in engineered timber.
• Hands-on knowledge of moisture sensing and monitoring systems, including resistance, capacitance, and RH-based methods, with an ability to interpret and validate field data.
• Experience designing or evaluating mass timber assemblies, including weather protection strategies, joint detailing, and envelope integration.
• Ability to bridge research and implementation, turning scientific principles into actionable on-site protocols, acceptance criteria, and maintenance workflows.
• Familiarity with data acquisition, IoT/telemetry pipelines, and threshold-based event detection, ideally within construction or environmental monitoring contexts.
• Proficiency in experimental design and data analysis, using laboratory and field data to inform simulation models or digital twin systems.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills, capable of producing clear technical guidance, standard operating procedures, and visual reports;
• Degree or advanced studies in Building Physics, Civil or Structural Engineering, Materials Science, or Environmental Engineering (MSc/PhD preferred).
   

• Chance to be a part of a large-scale project;
• Team driven by impactful cause;
• Hybrid format of work with spacious office in New Belgrade;
• Private health insurance including dental;
• Language courses;
• Flexible working schedule;
• 20 days of annual leave.
