Design Automation Engineer, CAD Automation (FeatureScript)

ABOUT US Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction. Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes that are adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered. We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Our mission hinges on being able to create building designs with 10x more detail than typical architectural sets in 1/10th the time. We're looking for a Design Automation Engineer to build the CAD automation for that workflow. You'll write custom features in and around Onshape (FeatureScript and API), and back them with real engineering practices, so the tools you ship run reliably in production and empower the design engineers by reducing manual workload. Your work sits downstream of architectural design and feeds our CAD-to-fab pipeline, all the way to the factory floor. This is a hands-on role. The best candidates sit somewhere between practitioner and engineer: a parametric CAD user who became a software builder, or a software engineer who enjoys living in CAD. You're comfortable using coding agents and modern AI tooling to prototype fast, work closely with the team, and ship something people actually use day to day rather than a demo that never leaves the shelf. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Design, develop, and maintain custom Onshape features in FeatureScript that run in production and hold up to daily use. Augment Onshape workflows by building out tooling and integrating with systems outside of Onshape via Onshape APIs. Expanding the capabilities and uses (skills) of our modeling MCP built on top of Onshape APIs Work with the design engineering team to develop high value features end to end: discover their pain points, design and implement solutions, integrate into their daily workflows, and iterate. . Build automation that integrates MEP constraints and augments device and fixture placement. Build automated code-compliance checking, e.g. outlet placement, egress, tempered windows requirements. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to raise efficiency and throughput across design and manufacturing. QUALIFICATIONS Prior knowledge or experience in architecture or construction is not required . We'll get you up to speed. Must Have BS in mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering, or computer science. 2+ years of hands-on experience with parametric design (Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, SolidWorks, etc.). Experience building custom features in Onshape with FeatureScript. General coding experience, ideally in Go, Python, or C#. Experience using coding agents to build prototypes, work with others, and get to a solution quickly. A 0-to-1 builder. Nice to Have Experience with the Onshape API or building integrations and apps beyond FeatureScript. General software engineering experience: automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, debugging and root cause analysis. Experience in a manufacturing, DFMA, or a hardware product setting. Familiarity with CAD-to-fabrication workflows (CAM, CNC). EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
