Design Automation Engineer, Architecture

About the role

Reframe designs and manufactures climate-resilient homes in distributed microfactories. Our Pixels-to-Parts (P2P) pipeline turns a site, local code, and a developer's requirements into a priced design, a permit set, and the machine files that build the actual house. We've already cut design-to-manufacturing time 30% in our first year. Next we plan to collapse the pre-contract cycle from 8-12 weeks to a single workday. Housing is the biggest line item in most people's lives and the largest climate lever we can pull. Reframe is the software bet on fixing both. We are targeting climate-friendly housing, manufactured locally, priced to compete with code-minimum stick-built. The position is based on-site in Andover, MA. It's a full-time role. You'll own your surface area, ship weekly, and watch the houses you designed roll off the factory floor.

Requirements

• Required
• 5+ years shipping production software in a team codebase (CI/CD, code review).
• Strong architectural instincts for building iterable, maintainable systems. We want someone whose code a teammate can extend.
• Real depth in how a building comes together and in how architects create and manage a project. Architectural training, or substantial experience working inside architectural workflows. Enough conviction to push back on a feature request, not just build what you're handed.
• Working knowledge of a parametric or BIM design stack. Revit + Dynamo most relevant; Rhino + Grasshopper, Archicad, or equivalent counts.
• Exercises good AI judgment. You've formed a critical, informed point of view on where and when to use LLM APIs and AI-assisted development and where not to. We don't require that you code with AI every day; we do require that you've thought hard about it and can defend your stance.
• Revit API / Autodesk Platform Services / plug-in development
• CAD automation at a manufacturing or industrialized construction company
• Experience building AI-powered product features (generative models or LLMs inside a production pipeline) as distinct from using AI to assist your own development.
• First 12 months
• A Revit/consultant exchange layer robust enough that external partners don't bottleneck our process or dictate our tooling.
• Architect-side automation that cuts value-engineering and costing iterations from days to hours.
• At least one production AI feature in the architect-developer loop (design-tree generation, real-time costing, zoning/code compliance, or our predictive AHJ model) shipped to real users.
