WikiHouse is a digitally-fabricated modular timber building system that aims to make it as simple as possible to build high-performance, zero-carbon buildings. It comprises a library of LEGO-like blocks that can be manufactured in small scale factories and rapidly assembled to high precision. As we grow the network of WikiHouse partners, and support more projects we are looking for a technical designer to develop WikiHouse production information and automated workflows (including parametric models and scripts).

‍

As WikiHouse production lead you will work alongside the WikiHouse team to:

• Maintain, organise and add to the blocks library working closely with the Product Lead. This will include creating new 3D blocks, cutting files, assembly manuals and key data. It will also include identifying and fixing clashes or issues when they are reported.

• Produce custom blocks for teams using WikiHouse, working closely with the Projects Lead and Engineering Lead.

• Design and build parametric scripts to progressively automate production workflows, including fully customisable blocks.

• Check production information before it is distributed or published 

• Help improve the WikiHouse system Working alongside the whole WikiHouse team to continuously improve the system and our tools and processes, to inform strategy and to support our mission to get the system into the hands of as many people as possible.

• Work with a small, but incredibly talented, friendly, and motivated team in a high-expectations, but always kind and inclusive environment. Trying to change systems can be hard work, so we look after each other.

• Ridiculously flexible working. Work where you want and when you want (most of the time at least).

• Work at the leading edge of transforming the way the world builds towards a sustainable, zero-carbon, circular economy where every community and business has access to the tools to build.

• Build parametric tools and workflows that push the envelope of design automation for modular building systems and mass-customisation. 

• From time to time get to visit factories and sites to see the product of your work in action
