- Build and support Revit API add-ins and configurator-style tools that facilitate consistent, accessible workflows.
- Implement repeatable workflows that connect analytical intent to production BIM models.
- Support early-phase analysis workflows by structuring inputs/outputs and connecting results to model-based execution.
- Assist with the integration of analysis engines into Revit-centered workflows and support the interpretation of results.
- Enable data visibility for non-Revit users by producing structured tool outputs and defining reporting requirements.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Engineering or a closely related field.
- 8+ years of experience in BIM, automation, or computational design within the AEC industry.
- Advanced capability in Autodesk Revit and strong understanding of BIM data structures.
- Demonstrated experience using Dynamo and programming languages Python and C#.
- Experience shipping production tools using version control (Git) and basic testing/validation.
- Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
