Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. 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.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to rethink how a construction project gets managed from inception to build.
Construction runs on handoffs: a project moves from a customer conversation to a scope, to an estimate, to a set of purchase orders, to a production schedule, with someone at every one of those boundaries re-entering what the last person already wrote down. The industry has long treated that as the cost of doing business, even though it is where schedules slip, where margin quietly disappears, and why almost nobody in this field can tell you what a building will cost until it is nearly built.
As a vertically integrated company, we are building the opposite of that, which means one authoritative representation of a project that everything downstream reads from, so that sales, estimating, procurement, and the factory all work off the same source of truth and a change in one place propagates. You will work closely with the design automation platform, which turns a building design into a manufacturable model and production plan, and the factory software team, to integrate real manufacturing data into our upstream models. This is part of the flywheel that will truly make construction faster and more predictable: real production data, cycle times, quantities, and labor we actually see on the floor, feeding back into how the next project is scoped, estimated, and bought, so that every building we deliver makes the next one more accurate to plan.
This is a hands-on role to deliver a software experience end-to-end, from understanding the problem statement to designing and deploying a solution. Your customers are the estimators, buyers, and project teams working alongside you, and you would spend real time with them, becoming an expert in their workflows. If you like taking an ambiguous, high-stakes part of a business and turning it into software that people run on, there is a lot of ground here.
Prior knowledge or experience in construction or manufacturing is not required. We'll get you up to speed.
Any of these would be a bonus, but none are required to be a strong candidate:
