Technical Designer(s) (full-time, multiple openings) needed in Los Angeles, California to consult with clients to determine functional and spatial requirements, and plan layouts of architectural projects. Prepare information regarding design, product specifications, and materials used. Perform predesign services, such as feasibility studies. Collaborate and communicate with design team, clients, consultants, contractors, fabricators, vendors and regulatory agencies to resolve complex technical and design issues to meet overall project objectives, and ensure builder compliance with design specifications, and advise on design corrections. Establish design standards, space planning, and programming based on clients' functional and spatial requirements while meeting conceptual design goals. Participate in all project phases, including conceptual designs, presentations, schematic design (graphic presentations, physical models, 2D/3D renderings), design development, construction documents and production for core and shell architecture projects.
Must have a Master’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Architecture, Interior Design, or related field, plus two (2) years of design experience (non-intern, non-fellowship) with all of the following:
(1) Translating an architect's sketches and documents into realized 2D/3D models and images using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, parametric design software, 2D/3D software, including AutoCAD, Revit, Grasshopper, Illustrator, Miro, SketchUp, InDesign, 3ds MAX, Bluebeam Revu, Rhino, and Enscape;
(2) Preparing full Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Document sets in AutoCAD and/or Revit. Participating in all project phases, including conceptual designs, graphic presentations, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration;
(3) Utilizing site surveys, design sketches, and other inputs to prepare digital architectural models using Revit and/or CAD based on BIM development standards;
(4) Producing high quality renderings, site plans, sections, elevations, and construction details for residential clients;
(5) Developing the schematic design of the core and shell of a building, including the lobby, exterior skin system, parking layouts, building cores. Façade development (product and material specification) and detailing of building envelope assemblies;
(6) Commercial office buildings of size and scale that require Type I, II, & III construction with corresponding life-safety requirements;
(7) Performing environmental analysis to understand the daylighting and lighting required for space planning; AND
(8) Facilitating project coordination, including full documentation coordination with structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), lighting, audio/visual, acoustics, landscape, civil consultants, and working directly with other consultants and/or contractors.
In the alternative, we will accept a Bachelor’s Degree (or foreign equivalent) in Architecture, Interior Design, or related field, plus five (5) years of progressive post-bachelor’s degree design experience (non-intern, non-fellowship). Two (2) years of the five (5) years of progressive post-bachelor’s degree design experience (non-intern, non-fellowship) must include experience with all of the following:
