The Sr. Design Engineer
- Hospitality is a highly skilled, hands‑on engineering role responsible for transforming high‑end architectural concepts into production‑ready manufacturing packages. This position bridges the gap between interior design intent and industrial factory execution—modeling, engineering, and detailing custom architectural millwork, ornamental metals, custom lighting, solid surfaces, and loose/fixed FF&E to luxury brand standards, ensuring all designs are optimized for structural integrity, cost, manufacturability, and site installation.

• This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

The Sr. Design Engineer owns the technical translation of design intent into buildable, cost-effective manufacturing packages for luxury hospitality programs. Accountability spans the full engineering lifecycle: interrogating Architect of Record (AOR) drawings and interior design specifications, building parametric 3D models, issuing shop drawing and submittal packages for client sign‑off, and releasing accurate Bills of Materials to the factory floor.

The role is accountable for design‑for‑manufacturing outcomes—material yield, joinery and connection methods, tolerances, and structural load performance—so that packages release to production with minimal rework and install cleanly in the field. The position also carries technical ownership of mockups and first‑article prototypes, provides direct support to plant supervisors and CNC programmers during production—primarily remotely, with targeted on‑site visits at critical milestones—and resolves unexpected field conditions with installation crews.

Working across multiple concurrent hospitality projects, the Sr. Design Engineer is expected to operate independently with limited supervision, contribute to shared detailing standards and best practices, and serve as the senior technical authority on multi‑material scopes including millwork, ornamental metals, custom lighting, stone and solid surfaces, and FF&E.
