Computational Designer Senior

Responsibilities Lead project-specific computational scopes from concept through documentation, aligning automation efforts with design goals, schedule, and BIM execution plans. Architect end-to-end workflows that combine geometry generation, data capture, and visualization to support decision-making. Independently develop and evaluate alternative concepts using parametric workflows; summarize tradeoffs (cost/quantity, performance, constructability) for decision-makers. Prepare clear diagrams, dashboards, and interactive visuals for client presentations, internal critiques, and agency reviews to communicate options and impacts. Partner with Project Managers and Design Leaders to identify where computation will create the most value and propose solutions. Promote scalable reuse of validated tools across studios via standard practices and knowledge transfer. Participate in client work sessions or interviews to demonstrate technical capabilities. Perform other duties as needed. Preferred Qualifications Professional degree (M.Arch) or a closely related master's in architecture, design, or computing. Experience integrating analysis engines (Ladybug/Honeybee, energy or daylight tools), geometry APIs, or cloud/compute services. Experience presenting internally or externally on design technology topics. Familiarity with web-based delivery of tools (e.g., ShapeDiver, Speckle apps, custom dashboards). Experience in complex building types (healthcare, science/tech, higher education) where parametric planning adds value. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Architecture or a closely related field. Minimum of 6 years of experience in architecture/computational design, with a portfolio of built or real project applications. High proficiency in Rhino/Grasshopper and Revit/Dynamo, including custom component creation, data trees, and parametric best practices. Scripting capability in Python or C# to extend visual programming tools or automate repetitive modeling tasks. Strong understanding of the architectural design process (SD through CD) and how to insert computational tools without disrupting delivery. Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and BIM managers. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain complex tools to non-technical users. An attitude and commitment to being an active participant in our employee‑owned culture.
