About The Job

Here, we partner with forward-thinking organizations in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry to push the boundaries of how the built environment is designed and delivered. As the premier full-service management advisory firm exclusively focused on the built world, we combine domain expertise with leading-edge technology strategy to solve real problems at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement generative AI models for automated building design, including floor plan generation, facade design, and structural optimization using state-of-the-art architectures (diffusion models, transformers, GANs).
• Develop computer vision pipelines for design and drawing analysis using modern frameworks like YOLO, SAM, and NeRF-based 3D reconstruction.
• Build graph neural networks and geometric deep learning models for structural analysis and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) system optimization.
• Create reinforcement learning systems for multi-objective building optimization (energy efficiency, cost, occupant comfort, sustainability metrics).
• Integrate AI models with industry-standard BIM tools (Revit, Rhino/Grasshopper) through custom APIs and plugins.
• Deploy production ML pipelines using modern MLOps practices, including experiment tracking (Weights & Biases, MLflow), model versioning, and A/B testing frameworks.
• Implement physics-informed neural networks for building performance simulation and predictive modeling.
• Collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure AI systems produce practical, code‑compliant, and constructible designs.
• Lead research initiatives and publish findings to establish us as a thought leader in AEC AI innovation.

Requirements

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, AI/ML, Computational Design, or related field (or equivalent industry experience).
• 3-5+ years of hands‑on experience building and deploying ML models in production environments.
• Deep expertise with modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred).
• Strong foundation in computer vision, 3D geometry processing, and spatial reasoning algorithms.
• Experience with generative AI models (VAEs, GANs, Diffusion Models, Transformers) and their practical applications.
• Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, scikit‑learn, Open3D, trimesh).
• Experience with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Azure ML) and distributed training frameworks.
• Understanding of optimization techniques (genetic algorithms, gradient‑based optimization, constraint satisfaction).
• Strong software engineering practices and experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Excellent communication skills to translate complex AI concepts to domain experts and stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications (A plus, not a requirement)

• Experience with computational design tools (Grasshopper, Dynamo) and parametric modeling.
• Familiarity with building information modeling (BIM) standards and IFC data schemas.
• Knowledge of graph neural networks (PyTorch Geometric, DGL) for structural and spatial analysis.
• Experience with physics simulation engines (Mujoco, Isaac Sim) or FEA integration.
• Background in multi‑agent reinforcement learning for complex system optimization.
• Contributions to open‑source ML projects or published research in relevant venues (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, or domain‑specific conferences).
• Experience with point cloud processing and 3D scene understanding (PointNet++, DGCNN).
• Understanding of construction workflows and building codes.

What You'll Gain

• The opportunity to define and build AI systems that will reshape a $10 trillion global industry.
• Access to unique datasets and real‑world problems at the intersection of AI and the built environment.
• Collaboration with leading architects, engineers, and construction professionals who are eager to embrace AI transformation.
• Resources to pursue cutting‑edge research while maintaining a focus on practical, deployable solutions.
• Mentorship from industry veterans who understand both the technical and business aspects of AEC technology.
• The freedom to experiment with emerging AI architectures and techniques in a high‑impact domain.

Why us?

Here, AI engineers aren't building demos—you'll be creating systems that influence how real buildings get designed and built. We believe the AEC industry is on the cusp of an AI revolution, and we're positioning ourselves at the forefront. Our team has the domain expertise to identify the right problems, the technical depth to solve them, and the industry connections to deploy solutions at scale. If you're passionate about using AI to create a more sustainable, efficient, and beautiful built environment, this is where you can make it happen.
