• Cross-functional partners: Digital Building System & Planning (Technology), Production Engineering, Factory Operations, Project Delivery (Acquisition to Construction Site) 

Your focus areas include:

• Translating Building System logic and specifications (e.g. standard detail drawings) into digital data (e.g. via our proprietary Rulebook and parameterization engine)  
• Leading the development and operation of review & approval processes of data generated by our parametric systems, to ensure correct factory-ready production data
• Managing and evolving Digital Twins, including coordination of production- & assembly data  
• Coordinating assembly drawings for internal and external stakeholders
• Managing data-related issue tickets from Production via ticketing system 

About you

• You are qualified in structural or architectural engineering, and able to take responsibility for data which goes to suppliers, production and construction
• You are an expert in parametric computational design (Rhino required, bonus coding languages) and able to apply your extensive experience to shape the most suitable process-solution for the business needs today and in the future
• Fluent German and English skills
• A collaborative mindset and a proactive approach to problem-solving across disciplines 
• Bonus: Familiarity with project management tools (e.g. Wrike, Jira, Asana)
