Senior Architect

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 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.

We are seeking a Senior Architect for a hands-on leadership role that will focus on project management and strengthening Reframe’s internal Project Delivery infrastructure. This role will focus on active projects, and include coaching and mentoring a team of designers to create best-in-class project delivery tools and processes. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, comfort in navigating ambiguity, and genuine enthusiasm for finding new ways of doing things, this is your platform.

• Manage architectural projects from concept design through factory production and final site integration. Develop project schedules, track and manage deliverables.

• Understand client requirements and manage client touch points throughout the project lifecycle. Work closely with the Field Operations Project Managers to track milestones.

• Collaborate with our pre-construction team to ensure accuracy in project scope and estimate.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for third party engineers. Review consultant drawings for alignment with Reframe’s building system and ensure coordination across project documentation.

• Prepare and/or review project deliverables for modular and jurisdictional permit submissions.

• Ensure projects are in compliance with all applicable state and local building codes. Build knowledge of code requirements across relevant construction types and jurisdictions as Reframe grows.

• Collaborate with the DFMA team to ensure project designs and specifications are aligned with the Reframe Building System.

• Conduct factory and site inspections as needed, including First Article reviews and punch lists.

• Provide and/or manage Construction Administration during downstream project phases: Design Engineering (digital twin model), Factory Build, and Field Delivery.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for internal project stakeholders: DFMA, Design Engineering, Factory Operations, Field Operations. Resolve project-based questions, RFIs, and technical constraints in real time.

• Coordinate our modular Building System and standardized assemblies with project-specific requirements.

• Continuously improve processes. Identify opportunities to improve design standards, coordination workflows, and production efficiency.

• Coach and mentor younger team members.

• Bachelor's and Master’s degree in Architecture or a related field.

• 8–10 years of experience in architectural practice or an architectural management role.

• 4+ years of direct, construction-related experience (e.g., construction administration), with involvement across projects from early design through closeout. Bonus if focused specifically on offsite, modular, or prefabricated construction.

• Experience with construction types III and V.

• Professional Architectural License is preferred. In MA, CA, VT, NY, and/or Utah is a plus.

• Advanced proficiency in Revit and BIM is a must. Familiarity with manufacturing-centric software (e.g., Onshape, SolidWorks, Inventor, or Catia) is a significant plus.

• Experience with construction management software, Bluebeam, Wrike, Google Suite, Notion, and Figma is a plus.

• Experience in small-to-medium scale multifamily residential construction is required; experience with light-frame wood construction and/or offsite/volumetric modular construction is a plus.

• Significant experience with construction documentation and document control, including coordinating and managing inputs from external consultants.

• Demonstrated ability to lead and organize project execution (including schedule, information flow, and cross-functional coordination) across multiple priorities.

• Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills, with a hands-on, "no fences" approach to working with external contractors and internal partners.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity. You work effectively under deadlines and shifting priorities while maintaining quality and accountability
