Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction. Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes that are adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered. We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us. ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Our mission hinges on being able to create building designs with 10x more detail than typical architectural sets in 1/10th the time. We're looking for the software engineer to build the CAD automations that power that workflow. You'll write custom features in and around Onshape (FeatureScript and API driven), and back them with real engineering practices, so the tools you ship run reliably in production and take repeated manual work off the team's plate. Your work sits downstream of architectural design and feeds our CAD-to-fab pipeline all the way to the factory floor. This is a hands-on role. The best candidate is a software engineer who enjoys living in CAD and learning new domains. You're comfortable using coding agents and modern AI tooling to prototype fast, work closely with the team, and ship something people actually use day to day rather than a demo that never leaves the shelf. ## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Design, develop, and maintain custom Onshape features in FeatureScript that run in production and hold up to daily use. - Augment Onshape workflows by building out tooling and integrating with systems outside of Onshape via Onshape APIs. - Expanding the capabilities and uses (skills) of our modeling MCP built on top of Onshape APIs - Work with the design engineering team to find repeated manual work, prototype a solution, and get it into their daily workflow. - Build automation that integrates MEP constraints and augments device and fixture placement. - Build automated code-compliance checking, e.g. outlet placement, egress, tempered windows requirements. - Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to raise efficiency and throughput across design and manufacturing. ## QUALIFICATIONS Prior knowledge or experience in architecture or construction is not required. We'll get you up to speed. ## MUST HAVE - BS in computer science or electrical engineering, or equivalent experience. - 2+ years of general software engineering experience, ideally in Go, Python, C#, including automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, debugging and root cause analysis. - Hands-on experience with parametric design (Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, SolidWorks, etc.) and building custom features/plugins/extensions in that platform. Experience outside of work is great! - Experience using coding agents to build prototypes, work with others, and get to a solution quickly. A 0-to-1 builder. ## NICE TO HAVE - Experience with Onshape and building custom features in Onshape with FeatureScript, used in a production setting. - Experience with the Onshape API or building integrations and apps beyond FeatureScript. - Experience in a manufacturing, DFMA, or a hardware product setting. - Familiarity with CAD-to-fabrication workflows (CAM, CNC). ## EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. If you believe you have the skills to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you don't meet 100% of the listed requirements. At this time, we are only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future visa sponsorship. ## About Reframe Systems ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Reframe Systems is a vertically integrated design-build manufacturer that uses robotics, automation, and local microfactories to deliver high-performance, climate-resilient homes faster and more predictably. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Andover, Massachusetts, United States - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: Vikas Enti (CEO), Aaron Small (Co-Founder, Head of Manufacturing & Operations), Justin Hersh (Co-Founder, Head of Tech) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Construction hardware manufacturing / residential housing - Target customers: Developers (B2B) – works with builders on projects from 2 units to entire communities - Mission: “Unlock resilient housing as a basic human right” – also described as “climate resilient homes for all” ## Products & Services - **Design-Build Manufacturing Service**: End-to-end service covering design coordination, permitting, site preparation, fabrication in microfactories, delivery, assembly, and finishing. Uses robotics and digital work instructions to reduce waste and shorten schedules. - **Microfactory Fabrication**: Local, tech-enabled factories that produce high-performance building components with millimeter precision, enabling parallel site work and faster occupancy. - **Transparent Pricing Model**: Fixed upfront pricing with no hidden costs – a rare offering in homebuilding. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding – $20M (Series A, September 2025) per LinkedIn; CB Insights reports $25.78M total raised (may include additional instruments) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (lead), VoLo Earth Ventures (lead); other investors not named in public sources - **Growth Signals**: - 57 employees as of mid-2025 (+40.4% year-over-year) - Active in two U.S. markets: New England (triple-deckers, townhomes) and Southern California (wildfire rebuilds, resilient infill) - 4 open job postings (Area Manager, Design Automation Engineer, Head of Operations, “Dream Job”) - Series A raised in 2025 signals strong investor confidence ## Competitive Advantages - **Full Vertical Integration**: Owns the entire process from design to occupancy – fewer handoffs, single accountable team. - **Local Microfactories**: Distributed, smaller factories reduce supply chain risk, shorten logistics, and allow customization to local codes and climates. - **Robotics & Automation**: Combines industrial robotics with digital work instructions for precision, speed, and waste reduction. - **Climate Resilience Focus**: Homes designed for extreme weather (wildfire, heat, storms) with airtight shells, healthy materials, and low energy bills. - **Transparent Pricing**: Fixed-cost model removes a major pain point for developers. ## Strategic Focus - Scaling the microfactory model to new U.S. markets (actively seeking new project sites) - Increasing production capacity and hiring to meet demand from housing crisis and disaster rebuilds - Continuing to refine robotics and AI-driven design-to-fabrication workflows ## Why Work Here - **Mission-Driven Work**: Join a team building climate-resilient housing as a solution to the housing crisis and environmental challenges. - **Fast-Growing Startup**: 40%+ headcount growth in the last year; Series A funding provides runway for expansion. - **Cutting-Edge Tech**: Work with robotics, AI, automation, and advanced manufacturing in a traditionally low-tech industry. - **Collaborative Culture**: Described as “experts, innovators, builders” with a flat structure and cross-functional teams. - **Open Roles**: Currently hiring for operations, design automation engineering, and area management – likely on-site at microfactory locations or Andover HQ. No explicit remote policy stated. - **Impact**: Opportunity to shape the future of homebuilding from the ground up. ## Sources 1. [reframe.systems](https://www.reframe.systems/) 2.
