Architectural Design Engineer – Building Envelope & Energy Modeling

Innovation starts with sound building science, and you place it at the heart of every drawing. As an Architectural Design Engineer, you will fuse structural logic, HVAC efficiency, electrical routing and aesthetic intent into a single, code-compliant building envelope. You will own energy modeling, daylighting analysis, and façade detailing from concept to construction administration—driving integrated design excellence across diverse U.S. projects.

About the Role

– Lead envelope design, materials selection, and thermal analysis for commercial and mixed-use buildings, meeting IECC and ASHRAE standards.  

– Develop coordinated 3D models in Revit, AutoCAD Architecture, and Navisworks—resolving clashes early.  

– Execute whole-building energy simulations in EnergyPlus, calibrating HVAC loads and renewable strategies.  

– Perform lighting calculations with Dialux/AGi32, optimizing visual comfort and LEED credits.  

– Produce construction documents, specifications, and submittal reviews that convert design intent into buildable details.  

– Audit existing facilities, generate retrofit recommendations, and prepare persuasive technical reports.  

– Collaborate with structural, mechanical, and electrical teams to ensure seamless system integration… and delight the client.

Core Responsibilities

– Translate architectural concepts into engineered façade assemblies.  

– Verify code compliance, fire-resistance, accessibility, and acoustic targets.  

– Present findings to stakeholders through crisp narratives and graphic dashboards.  

– Mentor junior designers, championing BIM best practices.  

Minimum Requirements

– Bachelor’s in Architectural Engineering, Building Science, or related discipline.  

– 5+ years of U.S. experience on mid-rise or high-rise projects.  

– Advanced proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD Architecture, and SketchUp.  

– Demonstrated EnergyPlus and Navisworks workflow mastery.  

– Solid grasp of structural systems, HVAC schematics, lighting physics, and building codes.  

– Ability to balance aesthetics, performance, and constructability under tight schedules.  

– Clear, concise English communication—both written and spoken.

Preferred Qualifications

– Professional Engineer (PE) or Architect license.  

– LEED AP, WELL AP, or FAÇADE Tectonics credential.  

– Familiarity with parametric tools (Dynamo, Grasshopper) and life-cycle cost analysis.  

– Experience with passive solar design and photovoltaic integration.

Why You Will Thrive Here

– Influence landmark projects that push sustainable boundaries.  

– Work with cross-disciplinary innovators who respect both art and engineering.  

– Access advanced simulation software and continual professional development resources.
