Austin, United States Andalusia Design Full time

Andalusia Design is a architectural products manufacturer looking to disrupt the commercial specialty ceilings and wall market by making bespoke, high-design wood and metal systems more accessible to the architectural and design communities. Andalusia achieves this business model by combining novel frontend design tools with on-site digital fabrication capabilities.


We are looking for a skilled, creative, and energetic Computational Designer to join our Product Development team. This role will focus on new product development, existing product enhancements, and custom architectural projects. Beyond the output of a design, you will also be responsible for the technical rigor, stability, scalability, maintainability, and manufacturability of your code as a part of a long-lived design environment. In this role, you are a key to ensuring our digital designs are optimized for our manufacturing processes and can reliably and repeatably move to production.


The Computational Designer will report to Andalusia’s CTO to produce models and functions that meet the needs of our customers and our facility.


Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Translate product design concepts into robust, flexible, and deterministic computational models in Grasshopper.
  • Collaborate with the engineering and operations teams to optimize model structure and data flow as a source of truth for product specification and production.
  • Develop algorithms to support new features and parametric capabilities; implement algorithms developed by others from other languages and pseudocode
  • Apply generative design methodologies to explore and optimize multiple aspects of designs, including material usage, structural performance, aesthetics, and manufacturability. Identify potential challenges and propose innovative solutions.
  • Identify opportunities for alternate code structures and evaluate/select based on key performance criteria
  • Generate thorough documentation and comments to capture design intent and lessons learned
  • Implement and refine automation tools on both sides of the CAD/CAM boundaries to move designs cleanly and predictably between tools and ultimately to production
  • Develop and maintain modules to support core business parameters, including lead-times and pricing, based on predicted and actual production performance.
  • Support the release of curated design tools to the architectural and design community; enable clients to explore and design with autonomy within the full spectrum of our manufacturing capabilities.
  • Identify and help implement workflow improvements for collaborative development in Grasshopper and other tools.
  • Stay current with trends, emerging tech, and best practices in parametric design and architecture


Qualifications:


  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in architecture, engineering, or related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in computational design and parametric modeling, preferably within the architectural, structural engineering and/or product development industries.
  • Demonstrated expertise with Grasshopper and Rhino
  • Demonstrated proficiency in the use of one or more scripting languages within Grasshopper (eg: Python, C#) for advanced algorithm development.
  • Experience with software programs widely used in the architectural industry, including Revit and AutoCAD
  • Experience with CAD/CAM processes and digital fabrication (CNCs, laser cutters, etc.) preferred
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Must be able to effectively interpret and integrate feedback from different knowledge domains.
  • Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
