Computational Engineering Design Specialist

This role requires expertise in several different areas including :

• Expert user of digital production platforms in the domain of computational and parametric engineering design; At least one of the following technology stacks: Revit, Dynamo, Rhino, Grasshopper. Knowledge of more than one platform including Generative Components will be considered a plus.
• Creator and author of definitions using out of the box nodes tools within the defined platforms. The ability to create and maintain custom nodes using Python and/or C# is also preferable.
• Parametric modelling creation and development of smart objects (i.e.: Revit Families using adaptive components) with customisable functionality and custom-built parameters for automation.
• Digital tools deployment ensuring that development is focused on production team usage for example automated workflows that can be operated by Revit users using Dynamo Player or Orkestra.

Key responsibilities :

• Work with project teams to accurately capture the requirements of any workflow we are seeking to automate to create a specification for the tools and content that will be required to achieve the automation aim.
• Create and author definitions that satisfy the aims of the automation workflow so that the tool need can be validated and deployed in production.
• Contribute to the creation of advanced parametric content that will be required by many of the automation tools being created.
• Production of 3D BIM project models aligned to project specified BIM requirements using Autodesk Revit.
• In collaboration with AECOM Digital Delivery global and the Digital Engineering Leads engage on design automation initiatives across global regions for multiple design disciplines.
• Advise and provide support for interoperability procedures between authoring software and interfacing CAD/BIM & Analysis software packages.
• Support the development of computational engineering standards and best practices through non-project design technology workshops.
• Open and willing to be flexible regarding taking on varied types of work, learning and developing new skills for digital project delivery whilst supporting the project teams with traditional deliverables.

Qualifications: Minimum Requirements

• Bachelors degree in Computational Engineering, Engineering Design, Architecture, or Information Management or related discipline plus at least 2-3 years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.
• Very good working knowledge of BIM Platforms complimentary to using authoring tools (i.e.: BIM360/ACC, Navisworks, ProjectWise, Revizto, etc.).
• Proven track record of design automation experience using the required platforms.
• Proven track record of the ability to create complex parametric content (predominantly Revit families) for use with automation tools.
• Technical design and construction knowledge in engineering design and construction.

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of any of the following will be considered favorable: Revit SDK, Dynamo SDK, Forge APIs, Rhinoceros SDK, Grasshopper SDK, RhinoInside, RhinoCompute (Hops), Bentley Connect SDK, Python, C#.
• Experience within Building, Transportation, or Water/P&P design projects.
• Architecture, Engineering, or Computational Design degree or similar professional education.
• Good communication skills (oral and written) and able to be an individual contributor during internal/external workshops and trainings.
