Applied AI Software Engineer for Smart Housing Systems

Reframe Systems; Boston; On-site; PHP 7,542,000 - 10,057,000; Full time

Job summary

Reframe Systems in Massachusetts is seeking a software engineer to help build the next generation of our Pixels-to-Parts system, turning floor plans and configurations into manufacturing-ready data. You’ll design, implement and validate workflows that convert intent into exact geometry, parts, and visualizations for our microfactories.

We value generalists who can work across backend, data, and frontend as needed, mentor teammates, and thrive under deadlines.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent experience welcome
• 5+ years building production software, with Python as a primary language
• Experience shipping cloud-native software (containers, managed services, infrastructure as code, CI/CD)
• Strong interest in agentic systems, shown through work or side projects, e.g., MCP servers, RAG pipelines, LangGraph or similar frameworks, tool-calling agents, LLM evals. Production experience is a significant plus
• Comfort with the math and algorithms behind your code (geometry, linear algebra, graphs or optimization)
• A generalist's range: comfortable moving between backend, data, infrastructure and some frontend as the problem requires
• Experience setting technical direction for a system or team
• Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the bar on engineering practices.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity. You work effectively under deadlines and shifting priorities while maintaining quality and accountability
• Clear written and verbal communication, and a hands-on, "no fences" approach to collaboration
• Able to work on-site in Billerica, MA at least 2 days a week
• Bonus: Exposure to manufacturing, robotics, hardware or other systems where software meets the physical world is a plus. No CAD, BIM or architecture experience required

Responsibilities

• Architect and build the core of our design automation platform: turn a floor plan into manufacturing-ready building design
• Turn our building system’s design decisions into a library of programmatic checks. Each one validates a model against hard dimensional, code and manufacturing constraints, and explains a failure by pointing to the rule behind it
• Build agentic workflows: tool-using agents, MCP servers, and retrieval over our design and product data
• Develop evals and guardrails that check model outputs against hard physical, code and manufacturing constraints
• Write deterministic, well-tested code that generates geometry, parts lists and manufacturing data from a design
• Help build the visualization layer so designers, customers and the factory can see and verify a design
• Deploy and operate what you build in the cloud: containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability
• Work closely with Architecture, Design Engineering, DFMA (design for manufacturing and assembly) and Factory Operations. Learn how buildings are designed and built, including on the factory floor.
• Improve our engineering practices, tooling and developer experience as the team grows
