Descripción de la vacante

Stantec's Design Computing team in San Francisco is seeking a Computational Designer to advance automation and design technology across BIM and digital delivery. This role collaborates with Senior Computational Designers and project teams to translate needs into practical workflows, build reusable components, and help scale tools firmwide.

You will develop parametric, data-driven workflows, test proofs of concept, and coordinate with in-house development, IT, and platform teams to ensure

Formación

• Advanced proficiency in Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit and Dynamo required.
• Experience with BIM-integrated workflows and automation.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, C#, JavaScript).
• Proven ability to translate design needs into computational workflows.
• Portfolio of computational design projects, especially for data centers or mission-critical facilities.

Responsabilidades

• Apply computational design methods to complex building projects.
• Develop parametric and data-driven workflows linking geometry, program, planning criteria, engineering inputs, equipment layouts, system requirements, performance criteria, and documentation outputs.
• Support early design exploration, option studies, layout evaluation, and decision-making through practical computational methods.
• Work across architecture, electrical, mechanical, structural, and digital delivery teams to improve coordination, reduce manual rework, and increase design clarity.
• Translate project-specific challenges into reusable workflows, automation patterns, and delivery methods that can be applied across future projects and sectors.
• Participate in practitioner and project-team conversations to identify high-value automation opportunities.
• Build Revit-based automations using Dynamo, Rhino.Inside.Revit, Grasshopper, Python, C#, the Revit API, or related workflows, with a focus on electrical and mechanical design, coordination, documentation, and data tasks.
• Automate repetitive design, analysis, QA/QC, documentation, modeling, and data-management tasks where they improve speed, reliability, or coordination across disciplines.
• Build, test, validate, and document proofs of concept against real project needs and conditions.
• Partner with development and platform teams to transition successful prototypes into scalable BIM-integrated tools or supported firmwide workflows.
• Balance innovation with reliability by ensuring automations are maintainable, aligned with project delivery standards, and ready for handoff when appropriate.
