Sr. Generative Design Lead (AEC)

Lead the design, development, and deployment of generative and computational design systems that support large-scale AEC projects and improve design-to-delivery efficiency.

• Drive the strategy and execution of generative and parametric design workflows across architecture, engineering, and construction use cases.
• Develop and maintain advanced Grasshopper-based solutions and ensure they are scalable, modular, and aligned with project requirements.
• Build custom APIs and integrations to enable interoperability between tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, Excel, and other design platforms.
• Create and implement Python and C# scripts, including custom nodes, plugins, and extensions for Rhino Compute and Grasshopper environments.
• Define computational design standards, frameworks, and best practices across teams and projects.
• Lead, mentor, and support a team of computational designers and design technologists, fostering collaboration and technical excellence.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies in AI, generative design, and computational workflows to maintain innovation leadership.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, BIM specialists, and stakeholders to translate complex design requirements into actionable computational solutions.
