    Location: We support hybrid work; you will work near our Boston, Massachusetts or Toronto, Canada offices.

    Responsibilities

    • Lead and collaborate with other engineers to develop scalable data pipelines for diverse AEC data sources
    • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on complex data engineering challenges
    • Work with large-scale, multi-modal datasets—including text and geometric data—to support preprocessing, augmentation, analysis, and content understanding
    • Transform unstructured AEC data into representations suitable for machine learning
    • Lead cross-functional collaboration with ML Research Scientists and Engineers to align data formats with downstream training and fine‑tuning of LLMs
    • Apply deduplication, normalization, and validation techniques to ensure high-quality data at scale
    • Architect and optimize pipelines for scalability, reproducibility, and cloud deployment
    • Drive technical decision‑making and influence engineering best practices across the team
    • Perform requirements analysis, working with team members of different levels and documenting solutions clearly
    • Lead initiatives to communicate findings through quantitative analysis, visuals, and clear insights
    • Contribute to agile workflows, ensuring flexibility and responsiveness to evolving project needs
    • Participate in technical planning and roadmap development

    Minimum Qualifications

    • Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
    • 10+ years of experience in Machine Learning, Engineering, or related fields
    • 2+ years of experience leading technical projects or mentoring junior engineers
    • Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership in cross‑functional environments
    • Hands‑on experience in data modeling, architecture, and processing across multiple representations, including 2D/3D geometry
    • Experience with computational geometry and geometric data methods
    • Familiarity with machine learning concepts and frameworks, and how data is represented for training
    • Proficiency in Python and strong software engineering practices
    • Ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical solutions and prototypes
    • Strong documentation skills for code, architectures, and experiments
    • Background in Architecture, Engineering, or Construction (AEC)
    • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and guide technical decisions

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with AEC data formats (e.g., BIM models, IFC files, CAD files, Drawing Sets)
    • Knowledge of the AEC industry and its specific data processing challenges
    • Understanding of deep learning architectures (CNNs, Transformers) and familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch or Lightning
    • Solid understanding of core computer science algorithms and scalability considerations
    • Experience with AWS cloud services and SageMaker Studio for scalable data processing
    • Experience managing or leading small technical teams
    • Track record of driving technical innovation and best practices

    The Ideal Candidate

    • You are passionate about solving problems for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) customers by applying machine learning techniques
    • You are comfortable working in newly forming, ambiguous areas where learning and adaptability are key skills
    • You collaborate easily with others and are comfortable providing technical leadership with minimal direction
    • You constantly strive to learn new technologies and methodologies while helping others grow
    • You seek new ways to solve hard problems and can guide others in problem‑solving approaches
    • You are unafraid to put your ideas out there, fail fast, and help create a culture of innovation and learning
