Descripción del empleo

Project Designer

Help reinvent how housing gets designed, permitted, and built in America.

Cedar is building the operating system for urban housing delivery. We combine architectural expertise with software, automation, and data systems to dramatically accelerate how projects move from land acquisition to approved designs and construction. The result: faster timelines, higher quality, lower risk, and more housing in the cities that need it most.

Our team blends architects, engineers, and product builders. We design real buildings — and we build the software systems that make great architecture scalable.

The Role

The Project Designer is primarily positioned both on the Cedar Catalog Team as well as on Project Teams, to develop housing prototypes as well as to iterate project design concepts through design development.

What You’ll Do

• Iterate project design concepts and assist project teams in progressing designs through Design Development

• Adjust catalog products to fit actual project housing needs, in collaboration with project architects

• Design housing prototypes in both conventional software (today) and eventually in Cedar’s proprietary catalog design software

• Contribute to creating a library of highly constructable, standardized project elements with technical experts, that reflect the Cedar design look and feel

This position reports to the Chief Design Officer.

Who You Are

• Passionate about residential design and able to conceptualize housing design and project concepts nimbly and fluidly with collaborators

• Skilled in designing livable floor plans that meet functional requirements with careful consideration of adjacencies, room sizes, etc.

• Able to take high level design concepts and transform them into buildable, developer driven designs that consider budget, scale and repetition, while remaining beautiful and true to design intent

• Passionate about housing, and about making quality, beautiful housing the standard instead of the exception

• Knowledgeable of IBC and IRC building codes

• Curious about improving workflows, tools, and systems that maintain design intent

• Motivated to deliver real housing incomes in growing urban environments

• Strong collaborator who can fluidly iterate on design concepts with senior designers

Qualifications

• 4 to 10 years of experience in an architectural office

• 2+ years in the residential architecture sector is required

• Education: 5-year BArch or MArch degree (preferred)

• Proficiency in softwares to communicate and iterate design concepts (Revit, Autocad, Rhino, Enscape, Bluebeam)

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary

• Meaningful equity ownership

• Healthcare, dental, and vision

• Early-stage ownership and impact
