In this role, you will serve as a product owner for PAE’s engineering automation tool stack, owning the tool vision, roadmap, and backlog while delivering key features through scripting and add-ins. This position focuses on building and shipping reliable, production-ready, Revit-centered tools and computational workflows that enhance efficiency, consistency, and quality.

What You'll Do

• Own the tool vision and backlog, acting as a hands-on contributor while coordinating additional development capacity as needed.
• Lead agile delivery for the tool stack, including intake, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release planning; define acceptance criteria and the definition of done.
• Develop and maintain design automation solutions using Dynamo, Python, and C#, adhering to established coding standards and documentation practices.
• Build and support Revit API add-ins and configurator-style tools that facilitate consistent, accessible workflows.
• Implement repeatable workflows that connect analytical intent to production BIM models.
• Support early-phase analysis workflows by structuring inputs/outputs and connecting results to model-based execution.
• Assist with the integration of analysis engines into Revit-centered workflows and support the interpretation of results.
• Enable data visibility for non-Revit users by producing structured tool outputs and defining reporting requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Engineering or a closely related field.
• 8+ years of experience in BIM, automation, or computational design within the AEC industry.
• Advanced capability in Autodesk Revit and strong understanding of BIM data structures.
• Demonstrated experience using Dynamo and programming languages Python and C#.
• Experience shipping production tools using version control (Git) and basic testing/validation.
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset with a strong service and reliability focus.

Nice to Have
