Job description

We are empowering people to go from concepts to construction within hours, enhancing collaboration in the world of atoms & pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, for humanity over the next few decades.

For phase 1, we're training foundational AI models that create building code-compliant BIM models, cost analysis & documentation from 2D building blueprints.

We are a small team of 32+ and looking for people passionate about 3D generation/reconstruction.

We’re targeting $100B+ opportunity in construction’s design, estimation, and planning software—ripe for disruption by AI-first platforms.

About the role

We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer who can bridge design expertise and BIM modeling execution. This is not a pure modeling role. We’re looking for someone who can both design from scratch in at least one discipline and model across multiple disciplines.

The goal of this role is to support a future state where one Forward Deployed Engineer can handle a project across disciplines with a high degree of autonomy. This person will bring real design judgment, strong modeling ability, and enough breadth to work across a range of complex building systems and project types.

What you’ll do

• Create and review designs within at least one core discipline

• Build and manage BIM models across multiple disciplines

• Support project delivery across architectural, structural, and MEP contexts

• Use your design expertise to help improve design checks, generation logic, and system outputs

• Use modeling tools and internal platform workflows to execute modeling tasks efficiently

• Work on a variety of complex project types and contribute to high-quality deliverables

• Engage with clients when needed and communicate credibly in project-facing settings

What we're looking for

• Architectural professionals capable of both building design and modeling beyond traditional architectural scope

• Demonstrated ability to design from inception in at least one discipline (e.g., Electrical, Structural, Architectural, MEP/building systems)

• BIM/modeling specialists with broad modeling capabilities and a focused design

• Expertise in at least one design area with broad modeling capabilities

• Comprehensive understanding of design rules, standards, and discipline-specific requirements

• Experience managing complex projects, ideally including multifamily, commercial, data centers, airports, hospitals, and R&D/laboratory facilities

• Strong client-facing and communication skills

Nice to have

• Experience from engineering services, EPC firms, or design-heavy technical environments

• Exposure to varied and complex building types rather than a narrow project background

• Comfort learning and using new AI-enabled workflows and tools
