Senior Design Automation Engineer for Modular Housing

Slope; Andover (MA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Reframe Systems is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to own the hardest parts of our design automation platform, turning high-level designs into manufacturable models and production plans. This senior, hands-on role requires decomposing messy domains into clean abstractions and delivering reliable code at scale.

You will lead architecture of the pipeline, collaborate across disciplines, and leverage AI to enhance our automated system and workflows.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in computer science or electrical engineering; or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience building production software.
• Strong software engineering experience, ideally in Go, Python or C#, including automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, debugging and root cause analysis.
• Experience with cloud‑native architecture, especially data‑centric applications. Experience managing infrastructure and deployments in containerized/cloud services (EC2, Lambda).
• Demonstrated technical leadership. Have a track record of turning a messy domain into clean abstractions and demonstrated the ability to deliver reliable code at scale under tight timelines.
• Experience using coding agents to build prototypes, get to a solution rapidly, and augment day‑to‑day development.
• Comfortable picking up new programming languages quickly and becoming productive in them.

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.
• Collaborate with highly interdisciplinary teams to build towards a highly automated system while progressively augmenting our existing workflows.
