Assistant Project Manager

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 microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. 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.

Responsibilities

• Support the project lifecycle from preconstruction and design coordination through factory production, site preparation, installation, and project closeout.
• Help the PMs develop and manage project budgets, schedules, logistics plans, and resource allocations.
• Work in conjunction with PMs to oversee procurement, contracts, subcontracts, and change management workflows.
• Help coordinate between manufacturing teams, design/engineering, robotics teams, and field installation crews to ensure alignment.
• Work closely with product, engineering, and operations to integrate project requirements into modular building systems.
• Provide feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM) and installation processes.
• Participate in iterative process development, helping refine workflows, introduce new tools, and identify efficiency opportunities.
• Collaborate in a start-up environment where processes evolve quickly, requiring flexibility and a continuous-improvement mindset.
• Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies across design, production, logistics, and installation stages.
• Support factory and field QA/QC processes, ensuring modular assemblies meet Reframe standards.
• Ensure all work complies with local codes, safety regulations, and company quality standards.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities.
• Contribute to developing new internal processes, playbooks, documentation, and best practices.
• Be willing to roll up your sleeves, jumping into detailed coordination, problem-solving on the floor, and supporting hands-on tasks when needed.
