We are seeking a Senior Architectural Fabrication Designer with strong experience in design for metal fabrication and large-scale custom installations . This role requires a hands-on designer who understands manufacturing constraints, material behavior, and production processes, and can lead projects from concept through fabrication and installation.

This is not a purely conceptual architectural role — the successful candidate must have demonstrated experience producing fabrication-ready drawings and collaborating directly with fabrication teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead architectural metal fabrication design projects from concept development through production and installation.
- Produce detailed shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and 3D models ready for manufacturing.
- Design custom architectural metal components and large-scale installations.
- Develop solutions that balance aesthetics with structural integrity, manufacturability, and material limitations.
- Work closely with fabrication teams to resolve design challenges during production.
- Create CNC-ready files and coordinate with machinists and welders.
- Oversee prototyping and testing of fabricated components.
- Review designs for compliance with applicable building codes, structural requirements, and company standards.
- Collaborate with engineers,



project managers, and installers to ensure seamless project execution.
- Manage multiple projects while maintaining attention to detail and deadlines.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture, Industrial Design, or related field.
- 5–8+ years of professional experience in architectural metal fabrication or custom fabrication environments .
- Solid experience producing:
- Shop drawings
- Fabrication drawings
- Assembly details
- Tolerance specifications
- Proficiency in:
- SolidWorks (preferred)
- AutoCAD
- Revit (secondary)
- Strong understanding of:
- Metal fabrication processes (welding, bending, forming, finishing)
- Aluminum assemblies
- CNC machining and digital fabrication workflows
- Experience designing for manufacturability (DFM).
- Proven ability to collaborate directly with fabrication teams.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

- Experience with large-scale architectural metal installations.
- Familiarity with CNC machining, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and 3D printing.
- Experience in custom architectural metal, structural steel, public art fabrication, or specialty installations.
- Knowledge of sustainable materials and fabrication practices.
