About Us

At Generate, our mission is to accelerate the deployment of low-carbon buildings by creating a next-generation workflow that links design to manufacturing. As a Boston-based MIT spin-off, we are transforming how the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction sector designs and builds by integrating state-of-the-art generative design and offsite construction techniques.

In 2025 alone, we have processed over 17 million square feet of mass timber projects through the Generate platform. To support our growth, we are seeking a dynamic designer to join us as a Project Designer, a role with significant potential for growth within our company.

Your Role

As a Project Designer, you will:

  • Support Project Teams: Collaborate with developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers to design and optimize mass timber solutions—spanning millions of square feet each week—using Generate’s platform.

  • Drive Technology Feedback Loops: Gather, analyze, and document feedback from active projects and daily testing to inform the product roadmap. Ensure Generate’s tools perform at the highest quality through rigorous issue tracking and continuous improvement.

  • Amplify Impact Through Design: Use your design expertise to craft compelling visuals and innovative concepts that showcase Generate’s value, inspiring adoption and driving stakeholder engagement.

Requirements

  • Design Skills: Proficient in developing designs in 3D CAD environments and capable of developing code-compliant designs from the ground up. Approach complex design challenges with innovative yet practical solutions.

  • Deep CAD Expertise: Fluent in digital design tools such as Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit.

  • Production Experience: 1-2 years minimum experience in US-based design and construction project delivery, especially in high-density residential, commercial, mixed-use, and institutional projects.

  • Collaboration: Excels in collaboration and communication, both virtually and in-person. Values respectful debate and thrives in environments that encourage idea exchange. Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills.

  • Educational Background: Holds at least a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture or Structural Engineering.

  • Work Experience: 1–2 years in an architectural or engineering firm with a foundational understanding of the high-density building market sector.

  • Work Authorization: Valid work status in the United States.

  • High Degree of Rigor: You triple-check your work and go above and beyond to deliver design packages to the highest standard of care.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Architectural or Engineering Licensure: Licensed professional in the United States.

  • Building Systems Understanding: General understanding of the requirements and coordination difficulties of structural, facade, and mechanical system design.

  • Construction Knowledge: Experience evolving design concepts collaboratively across preconstruction phases and working with architects, engineers, builders, and contractors.

  • Timber Expertise: Familiarity with mass timber design or construction methods is a plus but not required.

Why Join Us

  • Impactful Mission: Drive our mission in unlocking the power of construction by building generative infrastructure that connects how buildings are designed, manufactured, and delivered.

  • Innovative Environment: Be part of a cross-disciplinary team that’s transforming the construction industry by bringing to life a cutting-edge Computer-Aided Design for Manufacturers (CADfM) platform.

  • Collaborative Culture: Work with a diverse team where respectful vigorous debate and kindness are valued.

  • Growth Opportunity: You will have the ability to accelerate your career growth through daily intensive mentorship from leading industry experts. Unparalleled by any other opportunity.
