Associate Product Architect

You’ve discovered something special. A company that cares. Cares about leading the way in construction, engineering, manufacturing and renewable energy. Cares about redefining how energy is designed, applied and consumed. Cares about thoughtfully growing to meet market demands. And ─ as “one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” ─ is focused on the mind/body/soul of team members through our Culture of Care.

The Associate Product Architect works within the Product Development organization to develop and maintain standard product architectures, requirements, and reusable solutions for ETO Modular Product Platforms. This individual coordinates with Product Architects, Program Design Managers, Product Developers, Preconstruction, engineering, manufacturing, and other cross-functional stakeholders to convert conceptual ideas, customer requirements, technical challenges, manufacturing feedback, site integration lessons learned, and operational needs into defined product improvements, standardized designs, and reusable solutions.
This role supports development and maintenance of Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), Component Definition Documents (CDDs), specifications, scope documents and matrices, Illustrated Basis of Design (iBODs), client submittals, vendor and site specific permit submittals, ETO submittals, master Revit models, early Long Lead Equipment (LLE) Bills of Material (BOMs), and other design intent documentation that provides the engineering baseline for downstream Detailed Design, strategic procurement, and manufacturing readiness.

The Associate Product Architect supports ownership of assigned product areas by ensuring requirements, design intent, technical decisions, assumptions, deviations, and lessons learned are accurately documented and continuously improved.

Ideal candidate will have experience or demonstrated capabilities with ETO product design and lifecycle development, Modular Product Platforms or other complex integrated systems, concept development through detailed design transition, product requirements development and management, product standardization strategies and reusable design solutions, and reading, understanding, and interpreting construction design documentation. Will be familiar with developing and maintaining PRDs, CDDs, specifications, iBODs, scope documents, as well as requirement matrices,  programmatic, permit, site-specific, and vendor product submittal processes. Able to facilitate cross-functional technical coordination and have knowledge of manufacturing, procurement, fabrication, and construction integration processes. Will capture lessons learned and convert them into product improvements and understand impacts of design decisions across engineering, manufacturing, installation, and lifecycle performance as well as applicable codes, standards, and industry requirements. Will have a strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, Revit (BIM), Autodesk Forma, Navisworks, and Bluebeam and a working knowledge of AutoCAD Electrical, Inventor (CAD), Vault (PDM), Fusion Manage (PLM), Acumatica (ERP), or related tools.
Success in this role requires the ability to balance product flexibility with standardization while understanding impacts across concept development, engineering, procurement, fabrication, manufacturing, construction integration, and lifecycle performance.

Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Engineering Technology, or related technical discipline preferred.

Experience:  3+ years of experience in engineering, product development, manufacturing, modular construction, or mission critical environments.

Travel: 10-50%

Work Schedule: This position works between the hours of 7 AM and 5 PM, Monday- Friday. However, work may be performed at any time on any day of the week to meet business needs.
