Computational Scenario & Algorithm Engineer (m/f/d)

Job Title: Computational Scenario & Algorithm Engineer (m/f/d) – Real Estate

Optimization

Reference ID: IRIS-KHI-ALGO-05

Location: Karachi Hub, Pakistan (DHA Phase 1 / Phase 2)

Contract Type: Full-time

Organization: IRIS – Institut für Resilienz, Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit

Application Channel: (Subject: Application IRIS-KHI-ALGO-05 – [Your Name])

About the Organization

The IRIS – Institut für Resilienz, Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit conducts scientific and applied research into algorithmic decision-making, automated site feasibility, and sustainable structural optimization. We combine spatial constraints, regulatory boundaries, and construction metrics to computationally model future-proof development scenarios.

Role Overview

As a Computational Algorithm Engineer, you will develop mathematical models and algorithmic scripts that simulate alternative building layouts, floor area ratios (BGF/BRI), and economic optimization scenarios for land parcels.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop computational logic to simulate building massing, setback constraints, and maximum buildable volumes based on parcel geometries.

• Build mathematical evaluation models for multivariate scenario comparisons (e.g., Best-Case vs. Middle-Case commercial vs. mixed-use developments).

• Interlink spatial building volumes with structured construction cost indices (German DIN 276 cost groups) to generate dynamic cost models.

• Create parameter scripts and automated reporting outputs for feasibility analysis.

• Collaborate closely with BIM modelers, data engineers, and research directors.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Degree in Computational Design, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Engineering, or Architecture with an intensive programming focus.

• Strong proficiency in Python, C#, or TypeScript; familiarity with computational geometry libraries or parametric modeling (Grasshopper/Rhino.Compute) is highly advantageous.

• Solid mathematical foundations in optimization algorithms, geometry processing, and multivariate numerical analysis.

• Ability to translate architectural planning regulations into structured code constraints.

• Fluent written and verbal communication in English.

What We Offer & Career Pathways

• Compensation: Top-tier local remuneration reflecting algorithmic and computational expertise.

• Modern Work Hub: Reliable, modern, air-conditioned workspace in DHA Karachi with high-speed fiber infrastructure and power backup.

• Sustainable Career Track: Clear promotion tracks into Algorithm Lead or Scientific Computing Lead in Karachi, with ongoing exposure to European construction standards, research publications, and advanced modeling systems.

• The International Research Track (§ 18d AufenthG): Outstanding candidates demonstrating mathematical rigor and successful delivery over 3–6 months can qualify for direct transfer to Germany as a Research Associate under § 18d AufenthG, including dedicated administrative assistance, visa handling, and housing / accommodation support on-site.
