Role overview

Join AUAR to transform architectural designs into production-ready timber frame data using our proprietary MasterBuilder software. You will bridge the gap between design and automated manufacturing, ensuring every panel is validated for our on-site robotic MicroFactories. This role offers the unique opportunity to see your digital models become physical reality across US and European building sites.

Construction Tech Manufacturing Housing 30 employees

Automated Architecture (AUAR) is a construction technology company that develops AI-powered design-to-manufacturing software, deployable robotic micro-factories, and modular systems to automate the production of sustainable, low-carbon timber housing. It partners with homebuilders and manufacturers via a ‘No Capex’ Manufacture-as-a-Service model to enable distributed manufacturing of net-zero homes, targeting mass adoption of timber construction and automation.

What you will do

  • Use proprietary MasterBuilder software to transform partner architectural drawings into high-quality, manufacture-ready timber frame BIM models and panel packs.
  • Critically review incoming design packages to identify and resolve production details that fall outside system specifications before they reach the robotic MicroFactory.
  • Collaborate with the Delivery Lead to coordinate production sequencing and quality assurance, ensuring compliance with regional codes across the UK, US, and EU.

Who this is a fit for

  • Has at least 3+ years of professional experience in timber frame design, production engineering, or DfMA within a factory-adjacent or MMC context.
  • Demonstrates advanced proficiency in Revit or similar BIM environments, with a strong grasp of timber frame structural behavior, tolerances, and connection details.
  • Possesses a critical eye for architectural drawings and bills of material, with the ability to adapt to varying regional building codes and compliance frameworks.

Why this role is remarkable

  • Work at the intersection of robotics and architecture within an 11,000 sq ft R&D facility where your designs are built on-site by robots.
  • Join a mission-driven Series A startup backed by heavyweights like ABB Robotics, focused on making high-quality, sustainable homes affordable and easy to build.
  • Enjoy significant ownership and high autonomy, including sizeable share options that ensure you grow alongside a company currently scaling across the US and Europe.
