Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are empowering people to go from concepts to construction within hours, enhancing collaboration in the world of atoms & pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, for humanity over the next few decades. For phase 1, we're training foundational AI models that create building code-compliant BIM models, cost analysis & documentation from 2D building blueprints. We are a small team of 32+ and looking for people passionate about 3D generation/reconstruction.

We’re targeting $100B+ opportunity in construction’s design, estimation, and planning software—ripe for disruption by AI-first platforms. If you're interested in joining an early stage AI startup building foundational models, geometric and physics engines from scratch to transform how the world designs and builds infrastructure, with real autonomy and the resources to solve hard problems,

About the Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who combines deep design expertise with exceptional BIM execution. This is not a traditional BIM modeling role. You'll be responsible for applying engineering judgment while working closely with our AI and product teams to improve how buildings are generated, validated, and documented. You'll contribute directly to the intelligence behind our platform by bringing real-world design expertise into AI-powered workflows.

Our vision is for every Forward Deployed Engineer to independently deliver complex projects across multiple disciplines while helping shape the next generation of AI-assisted building design.

Responsibilities
  • Design buildings and building systems within your primary discipline from concept through detailed design.
  • Develop, coordinate, and manage BIM models across multiple disciplines, including Architecture, Structural, and MEP.
  • Deliver high-quality project work across a diverse portfolio of commercial and infrastructure projects.
  • Apply engineering expertise to improve AI-generated designs, validation rules, and automated design workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with AI researchers, software engineers, and product teams to translate engineering knowledge into scalable systems.
  • Evaluate design quality, constructability, code compliance, and multidisciplinary coordination.
  • Support client engagements, communicate technical recommendations, and represent our platform in project discussions.
  • Help define best practices for AI-enabled design and BIM execution.
Qualifications
  • 14-20 years of experience delivering complex building projects from design through documentation.
  • Highly preferred:
    Active U.S. professional license (PE/RA) in Architecture, Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing/HVAC, or Electrical Engineering, with demonstrated experience independently reviewing and stamping construction drawings.
    Candidates with a strong track record of stamped projects across complex building types are strongly preferred.
  • Professional experience in Architecture, Structural Engineering, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, or Building Systems Design.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently design projects within at least one engineering discipline.
  • Strong BIM expertise with Revit and multidisciplinary coordination.
  • Comprehensive understanding of building codes, engineering standards, and design best practices.
  • Ability to work across multiple building systems while maintaining design quality.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup where ownership and autonomy are expected.
Required Skills
  • Experience with one or more of the following:
  • Multifamily developments
  • Commercial buildings
  • Airports
  • Research laboratories
  • Industrial or manufacturing facilities
  • Semiconductor or mission-critical infrastructure
  • Experience from engineering…
