Construction Integration Engineer (DFMA) - Offsite Modular Construction

ABOUT US 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 100,000 sq. ft. microfactory on the way in Billerica, MA. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes that are adaptable to each site, community, and customer's needs. 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. Build it with us. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We are seeking a hands-on and inventive Construction Integration Engineer to master the intersection of digital design, manufacturing, and construction. This role is the critical link between our digital building models and our physical factory floor, ensuring that every design is optimized for our production system. You will champion Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles to create a seamless flow from design intent to a safely and efficiently assembled building module. If you have deep experience in construction or the trades and a passion for using technology to build better, this is a rare chance to help invent how America builds climate-ready housing. RESPONSIBILITIES

• Champion and implement Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles across the organization. Collaborate deeply with design and engineering teams to provide critical, hands-on feedback that ensures all components and systems are optimized for factory production.
• Translate digital building models (BIM/CAD) and design intent into integrated work packages and detailed assembly sequences for the factory floor (our Process Definition Table, PDT), enabling efficient and repeatable production.
• Develop and deploy highly visual, operator-centric work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for a range of manual and semi-automated tasks, leveraging graphic design where needed.
• Lead hands-on process trials and prototyping on the shop-floor. Experiment with and iteratively improve assembly workflows, custom jigs, and workcell layouts to increase throughput, quality, and safety.
• Define the requirements for fabrication-level shop drawings and coordinate with the modeling/design engineering team to ensure digital assets translate seamlessly to the physical build environment.
• Collect, organize, and analyze production data to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and drive continuous improvement in throughput, cost, quality, and operator experience.
• Establish and maintain robust process documentation and create feedback loops that ensure knowledge and improvements flow fluidly between the factory floor, engineering, and our software systems.
• Stay current with industry best practices in offsite modular construction, DFMA, lean manufacturing, and building science. QUALIFICATIONS
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Deep background in construction, cabinet-making, woodworking, or a related trade.
• Proven experience applying DFMA principles to improve product design and assembly processes.
• Experience in a manufacturing, process engineering, or integration engineering role within a construction or manufacturing environment.
• Expertise in manual assembly processes, including developing and optimizing work instructions and workflows.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and methodologies such as 5S, Six Sigma, or Kaizen.
• Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
• Passion for sustainable building, housing affordability, and an interest in advanced manufacturing technologies. Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
