About the role

  • Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way.
  • We're reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better.
  • This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role.

Responsibilities

  • Help architect and build the core of our design automation platform: the pipeline that lowers a building design into manufacturing-ready outputs.
  • Design the pipeline's stages, intermediate representation, and the verification gates that catch problems early.
  • Set technical direction for design automation and raise the engineering bar through review, standards, and mentorship.
  • Leverage AI to both build this system and utilize it within the system itself.
  • Collaborate with highly interdisciplinary teams to build towards a highly automated system while progressively augmenting our existing workflows.
  • you've helped build an integrated CAD system or some of the engine behind a tool like that.
  • Procedural and generative design
  • you've worked on systems for automated design in domains other than architecture and mechanical design.
  • Electronic Design Automation (EDA) has a lot of conceptual overlap with what we're building and believe there's a lot to learn from that world.
  • Software for HDL synthesis and ASIC design

Requirements

  • You have built something structurally similar before, whether that's a geometry engine, a fabrication toolchain, or a physics simulation engine.
  • Prior knowledge or experience in architecture or construction is not required.
  • Bachelor's in computer science or electrical engineering
  • 5+ years of experience building production software.
  • Strong software engineering experience, ideally in Go, Python or C#, including automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, debugging and root cause analysis.
  • Experience with cloud-native architecture, especially data-centric applications.
  • Experience managing infrastructure and deployments in containerized/cloud services (EC2, Lambda, etc.).
  • Experience with architecture, construction, or mechanical design software
  • Prior knowledge or experience in architecture or construction is not required. We'll get you up to speed.
  • or equivalent experience.
  • Experience with cloud-native architecture, especially data-centric applications. Experience managing infrastructure and deployments in containerized/cloud services (EC2, Lambda, etc.).
  • Demonstrated technical leadership. Have a track record of turning a messy domain into clean abstractions and demonstrated the ability to deliver reliable code at scale under tight timelines.
  • Experience using coding agents to build prototypes, get to a solution rapidly, and augment day-to-day development.
  • Comfortable picking up new programming languages quickly and becoming productive in them.

Nice to have

  • Depth in one or more of these domains:
  • Some specific examples:
  • Parametric/feature-based CAD, such as Onshape, Open CASCADE, build123d/CadQuery, Zoo, Solidworks, Autodesk Fusion/Inventor.
  • Computational geometry engines.
  • B-rep kernels, meshes, and geometric constraint solvers mean something to you.
  • CAM and G-code generators/post-processors
  • or, Game/physics engine: you've worked on the nuts and bolts of some pieces of a physics and/or rendering game engine.
  • or, Compilers and program transformation: contributed to a compiler, interpreter, query planner, or high-level synthesis engine.
