About the role

  • the standard assemblies, details, components, and interfaces that every project draws from, so project teams can move fast on decisions that have already been made well once.
  • Your work is deliberately decoupled from day-to-day project execution: your job is to make the next ten projects easier, not to ship this month's modules.

Responsibilities

  • Define and maintain the standard assemblies and details that make up our building system: structural and envelope recipes, exterior wall assemblies, mate lines, floor cassettes, connection methods, and the interfaces between them
  • Own system-level subsystems end to end, such as the MEPF module interconnect system (circuits, plumbing, and ductwork connections between finished modules) and a scalable electrical system, from research through prototyping with the factory floor to a defined standard detail set
  • Lead high-impact system optimization initiatives such as enclosed wall panels, exterior insulation strategy, and structural optimization
  • Translate building science and air-tightness goals into buildable details and repeatable processes
  • Set product requirement standards for off-the-shelf and finished components (windows, exterior doors, fixtures): what the factory can and cannot receive, communicated clearly to design and procurement
  • Build mockups and first-article prototypes on the floor or in the yard before design lock, and partner with Manufacturing to define the capabilities and workcells needed to produce what you design
  • Design for automation as a first principle, so the system we standardize is the system robots and software can build
  • Maintain change visibility across the organization: what changed, why, who it impacts, and when it should be adopted
  • Deep understanding of light wood-frame construction and at least one of: building science, MEP systems, or structural systems

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in construction products, prefab/modular construction, building envelope, or a related hardware product domain

Nice to have

  • Experience in volumetric modular or panelized construction
  • Field or factory construction experience
  • Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
  • If you believe you have the skills to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet 100% of the listed requirements.
  • A strong communicator who can hold a manufacturability line with architects, engineers, and operators while keeping those relationships healthy
