Computational Designer/Architect Jobs

ZURU Tech is redefining construction. We believe that the future of housing will be defined by the automation of the construction industry. Today, Zuru Tech is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the goal of automation for housing production worldwide while still having design freedom for clients.

As part of this work, we need computational designers who can develop parametric systems and algorithms. This is to bridge the gap between the designed systems and the automatic generation of designs from our users in our software. This is currently done with Rhino and Grasshopper to develop early-stage models. You would be working with design teams in Los Angeles, Auckland NZ, and software teams in Moderna and Milan, Italy. With redesigning the house from the ground up, there are a multitude of different, novel problems to solve. www.zuru.tech

Our goal is to build our Los Angeles engineering hub by attracting the best talent in the US. This is a great chance to join a highly innovative, well-funded and fast-paced team at an early stage of the project. It’s the best part of being in a startup, with fewer constraints and a great office.

If you are a talented, creative, and driven person with a proven track record in solving challenging problems then have a look below.
