The American Housing Corporation (AHC) is developing a prefabricated, panelized residential product platform for rowhome and low-rise multifamily applications. Design Technologist / BIM Lead will own the digital production flow and design automation on the Product team. You will implement BIM-management best-practices, experiment with cutting edge AI design automations, maintain the source-of-truth models for all of our building components. This role is central to creating a seamless workflow between product development and scalable project delivery.
You will execute across the full stack: design, modeling, documentation, factory, and the field. You think in systems and platforms, move quickly and iteratively, and are comfortable living in the design to manufacturing to construction loop. You take ownership past the traditional architectural boundary, and you're organized and quality-control minded.

Design automation strategy. In collaboration with Product and Software teams decide how the product platform and its workflows scale. Propose ways to expedite product development and scale project delivery across multiple jurisdictions. .
The product platform. Build and maintain a BIM library of kit-of-parts and rules-based configuration system governing unit layouts, stacking, and variation — all operating within structural, MEP, manufacturing, and code constraints.
Staged productization, tied to certification. Advance each component through concept to BIM to construction documentation to field validation.
BOM integration. Work with Software, Manufacturing, and Construction teams on automating BOM generation from concept feasibility to construction documentation.
Distribution and handoff. Define how the system is communicated and handed off to manufacturing, the field, jurisdiction authorities, and future projects — panelization logic, fabrication-intent details, install sequencing, and the standards that let the next project move fast.
Integration and documentation control. Act as the connective point across Architecture, Structural, MEP, manufacturing, software, and in-field teams, resolving conflicts in the model rather than the field. Maintain fabrication-aligned BIM models, permit-ready drawing sets, and a controlled component library consistent across every product variation. Produce high-quality drawings for all components. Automate parts of drawing production using the BIM library of parts.
Advanced digital workflow / cross-platform fluency. Required: advanced modeling in Revit, ACC, Rhino, Dynamo, Grasshopper, and visualization software. Proven ability to move data across software and platforms and to design how information flows through a toolchain.
Agentic / AI-assisted tool development is a plus.
Licensed architect (or on a clear path to licensure).
6–10+ years in architecture, with hands-on experience in building-system coordination, modeling, documentation, and construction.
Strong grasp of architectural documentation fundamentals — what gets documented, and to whom — alongside building-systems integration and CD standards.
Proven ability to maintain complex systems across multiple product and project iterations.
Prefabrication / modular / panelized construction
Product-platform delivery over project-based delivery
AEC tech background and architectural productization development
Experience integrating architecture with structural and MEP systems
Hands-on involvement in construction or prototyping

Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.
Experience with manufacturing, ERP, MES, inventory, logistics, construction, or industrial software is a plus.
Additional Information
The company provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs.
This is an in-person role for builders who want to work closely with the people using the software every day.
No visa sponsorship.

As Project Delivery Lead, you own a project from the day it enters diligence to the day it becomes a finished home that Sales accepts as ready to sell. You are engaged from the start, pressure-testing whether a deal can actually be delivered before we commit to it, then turning our land team's feasibility and our project architects' drawings into a permitted, priced, scheduled, build-ready plan and carrying it through production, install, and the field as the single owner of schedule, budget, and risk. You are the connective tissue that keeps nothing from falling in the seams between teams, and you help build the process and system of record that tell the company how every project is really performing. You will be measured above all on delivering projects on time, on budget, and at high quality, with no surprises. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting directly to the CEO, with a clear path to grow as you prove you can carry projects at volume.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Engage from diligence. Partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, so we only take on projects we can deliver
Own each project end to end as the single point of accountability, from diligence through design, production, install, and field construction, to a home accepted by Sales as ready for sale
Own the schedule. Build and maintain the critical path across design, factory, install, and field, and drive momentum through every handoff
Own the budget. Manage each project to its approved cost, track cost-to-complete, protect margin, and release spend only when scope is complete and quality standards are met
Own risk. Spot problems early, size them, and drive mitigation before they compound, holding the line on the standard product rather than absorbing scope creep
Help build the process and the system of record for performance. Stand up the stage gates, handoff standards, and reporting that track schedule, cost, quality, and risk, and be the single source of truth for project performance
Coordinate across real estate operations, project architects, production, install, field operations, and sales. Align factory output and site readiness so the whole chain moves as one, and own both handoffs: a clean brief in from the land team, a documented, ready-for-sale home out to Sales
Drive quality and drive down punch and rework, holding every stage to scope and standard through checklists, gates, and field verification
Give leadership a clear, honest read. Run project reviews, keep documentation current, and communicate changes to scope, plan, and spec proactively
QUALIFICATIONS
8+ years delivering complex residential or construction projects, with direct budget-and-schedule ownership across multiple functions (production homebuilding, manufactured or modular housing, or vertically integrated development strongly preferred)
A track record of owning projects end to end and delivering them on time, on budget, and to standard, not just executing one phase
Experience building process and structure where little existed, standing up the gates, playbooks, and reporting that let a team deliver consistently at volume
Comfortable with metrics and reporting. You help build the system of record, track performance rigorously, and use data to drive decisions rather than react to them
Proven ability to manage risk: spotting problems early, escalating with judgment, and driving mitigation to resolution
