Responsibilities

• Help architect and build the core of our design automation platform: the pipeline that lowers a building design into manufacturing‑ready outputs.
• Turn a messy, ambiguous domain into clean, durable abstractions. Decompose large problems, prove solutions in the real world, and cut scope judiciously.
• 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.
