Role Overview

The Design Integration Lead is the connective tissue between the company, the customer team, external consultants, and the realities of the jobsite.

If the Head of Construction & Project Delivery is the conductor, this role is the integrator who keeps every discipline in sync.

You will own the translation of customer design intent into coordinated, buildable documentation. You will be accountable for ensuring drawings, models, and system integrations meet internal standards and are aligned with engineering, manufacturing, and field execution.

This is not a drafting role. You will operate inside BIM models, direct external partners, lead coordination efforts, and take ownership of project delivery workflows across multiple active home deployments.

The goal: tighter alignment across design, engineering, and construction, enabling faster turnaround, higher accuracy, and continuous improvement across a repeatable residential product line.


Core Responsibilities

  • Coordinate communication, priorities, and timelines across customers, consultants, and internal stakeholders

  • Translate customer needs and jobsite insights into clear technical requirements for designers, engineers, and modelers

  • Direct architectural modelers and engineering consultants, reviewing work for accuracy and alignment with design intent

  • Navigate and review BIM models (primarily Revit) to validate system integration and identify conflicts

  • Lead MEP and structural coordination to ensure systems are accurately represented and buildable

  • Drive the sign-off process across engineering, customers, production, and product teams

  • Manage drawing and submission packages for city approvals and inspections

  • Capture installation and construction feedback and convert it into documentation improvements

  • Establish and refine coordination standards and workflows that reduce errors and shorten turnaround times


How This Role Operates in Practice

You will function as the central hub for design accuracy and engineering alignment.

In practice, that means you will:

  • Own the full coordination workflow from early requirements through final sign-off

  • Make independent decisions on model revisions and consultant direction

  • Work directly inside Revit models, not just reviewing static PDFs

  • Run coordination meetings and manage consultant communication

  • Balance multiple workstreams across production home variations

  • Help build scalable systems as the company grows

This role requires someone who can take ownership and operate with minimal supervision once ramped up.


Key Attributes

  • Proactive and decisive, comfortable giving direction to consultants and internal teams

  • Strong technical foundation in Revit and multi-discipline coordination

  • Working understanding of structural and MEP systems

  • Project management mindset with the ability to juggle multiple active deployments

  • Detail-driven with strong quality control instincts

  • Clear communicator who can simplify complexity

  • Collaborative and comfortable working in a startup environment

  • Willing to work in-office five days per week


Ideal Background

We are open to two general profiles:

Senior Integrator (8+ years experience)

  • Architecture, structural engineering, or design-build background

  • Experience coordinating consultants and leading project delivery

  • Comfortable running client conversations and managing project scopes

  • Able to operate independently and potentially grow into leading a coordination team

Strong Mid-Level Architect (5–7 years experience)

  • Solid Revit proficiency

  • Experience delivering projects through city submission

  • Some exposure to consultant coordination

  • Ready to step into broader ownership and grow with the company

Experience in modular, prefabrication, design-build, or repeatable residential product environments is a plus but not required.


Reporting and Collaboration

Reports to: Head of Construction & Project Delivery

Key collaboration with:

  • Product Design

  • Manufacturing

  • Engineering consultants

  • BIM modeling partners

  • Installation and field teams

  • Customer stakeholders


Compensation

Base salary range:
$100,000 - $150,000 depending on experience and scope

Equity participation may be considered for senior candidates aligned with long-term growth.


Why This Role Matters

This is a critical hire as the company scales from pilot projects to multi-home production deployments.

The right person will reduce coordination friction, improve documentation quality, and strengthen the integration between design, engineering, manufacturing, and field execution.

There is real potential to evolve into leading a small internal coordination team as the company grows.
