Computational Designer

What is the opportunity?

We are a firm that does things a little differently. This is your opportunity to join our high-calibre, experienced group of professionals on a mission to re-imagine the future by changing the way that buildings are conceived and constructed.

The Ennovation team at Entuitive is looking for a Computational Designer based out of our Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver office. This role represents a strategic expansion of our existing capabilities to support project delivery across our service offerings. As a Computational Designer, you will be an integral member of our project teams, applying advanced computational design techniques and automation to solve complex engineering challenges on live projects. This is a project-focused role where your primary responsibility is delivering real engineering solutions that enhance design quality, accelerate workflows, and optimize building performance for our clients.

What will you do?

Your day-to-day work will center on applying computational design expertise as an integral part of project teams.

• Develop parametric models and scripts to automate engineering & design workflows, geometry generation, and analysis integration for project teams.
• Collaborate with engineers and designers to translate complex design requirements into computational solutions using tools like Grasshopper, Revit, Python, and C#.
• Create & customize tools and plugins that enhance the design-to-analysis pipeline, leveraging interoperability between platforms such as: Revit and engineering analysis software (SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik)
• Participate in design meetings with project teams and clients to understand challenges, identify opportunities for computational approaches, and present solutions
• Perform design and analysis work using industry-standard tools (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SAP2000, ETABS, Dynamo, RFEM, Sofistik)
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, design calculations, and drawing packages for design deliverables
• Build reusable workflows, templates, and component libraries to enable knowledge sharing across the firm and accelerate future project delivery
• Support quality assurance by reviewing computational outputs, validation checks, and design accuracy
• Contribute to project planning, scheduling, and resource discussions with Project Managers
• Identify and implement emerging computational design techniques that advance the firm's capabilities and project performance

Requirements

What do you need to succeed?

• BSc in Architectural Engineering, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Building Science (MSc preferred)
• Minimum 5–10 years of professional experience in design or engineering with in one of the following disciplines, Structural engineering, Building Science, Bridge or Construction Engineering; including hands-on design and analysis work.
• Demonstrated experience with parametric modeling and computational design techniques on building structures (Grasshopper, Dynamo, or equivalent)
• Strong proficiency in engineering design and analysis tools: Revit, SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, Sofistik or similar
• Working knowledge of Python and/or C# programming languages with the ability to write scripts and automate workflows
• Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written—with the ability to translate between engineering and design teams
• Portfolio or examples demonstrating computational design work applied to structural or architectural projects

Nice to Have

The following experience would be considered an asset:

• Experience with Dynamo for Revit automation
• Familiarity with building envelope analysis software (THERM, HEAT, FLIXO)
• Energy modeling or thermal analysis experience (IES-VE, EnergyPlus)
• Exposure to digital fabrication workflows or BIM coordination
• Experience leading or mentoring junior engineers or technicians
• Published work, speaking experience, or contributions to computational design tools or methodologies
