Role Description

Location: On-site
Type: Full-Time or Contract to hire
Compensation: $80,000 – $120,000 base salary

About the Role

This is not a traditional architecture role. We're looking for a creative force, someone who thinks in products, not just projects. You'll work in direct partnership with our lead architect to develop new product lines, define and protect the company's visual language, and bring custom projects to life from concept to completion.

The right person lives at the intersection of design, construction, and product development. You understand how things get built — and you care deeply about how they look, feel, and function. We don't care about your title history. We care about what you've created, how you think, and whether you're ready to help define what's next in this industry.

Work with lead architect to develop new product lines from sketch to production-ready spec
Define and evolve the company's visual language across all products
Create design guidelines, material palettes, and specification standards
Work on custom projects - translate client vision into designs that are beautiful and buildable
Support client presentations, proposals, and product launches
Identify design-driven growth opportunities
Support marketing with visual aesthetics
Self-directed but collaborative — you own your work and play well with others

Qualifications

Degree in Architecture, Interior Architecture, Environmental Design, or a related field — Bachelor's or Master's
5+ years in architectural or experiential design (preferred, not required — show us what you've built)
Advanced proficiency in Archicad (Revit is a plus)
Figma or Adobe suite is a plus
Solid understanding of construction documentation, fabrication, and spatial design principles

Preferred Experience

Experience in manufacturing, construction, fabrication, or start-up environments
Experience supporting executive leadership teams
