Architectural Designer

The Architectural Designer works with the design team to translate exhibit concepts into the precise, buildable drawings our fabrication shop needs to bring them to life.

We're looking for someone who's fluent in technical drawing and dimensional design. We use Vectorworks, SketchUp, & Fusion 360, and lean on AutoCAD-style construction documents. But any solid CAD or architectural design experience is fine. We mostly want to know that you can think spatially, work to real-world tolerances, and produce drawings a fabricator can build straight from the page.

We also expect that:

  • you can develop a concept into detailed plans, elevations, and sections
  • you understand materials, structure, and how things actually get built
  • you are a good communicator (your drawings are how the design and fabrication teams stay on the same page, so clarity matters)
  • you're detail-oriented and comfortable working to precise dimensions and tolerances
  • you're reliable, hard-working, and get energy from making cool stuff!

Beyond that, we're interested to know what experiences you have and skills you could bring. Do you have experience with millwork or cabinetry drawings? Building codes and ADA requirements? Rendering or visualization? Fabrication? Let us know! We're a small business and have lots of flexibility in how you can help us expand our team.

  • You're probably fascinated with architecture, intrigued by technical drawings and beautiful products, places, and spaces. Good design makes you smile.

This is a full-time job (40 hours per week) in Newton, KS with potential for overtime if desired.
