Modular Product Developer

About the Role

The Modular Product Developer works within the Product Development organization to execute development activities for ETO Modular Product Platforms under the direction of Product Architects. This individual transforms conceptual requirements, sketches, technical direction, and evolving design decisions into accurate virtual prototypes, models, drawings, submittals, and supporting technical documentation. The primary focus is on early concept development using Revit and other digital design tools to rapidly visualize, evaluate, and refine product solutions before design intent is established.

Responsibilities

• Execute and be directly accountable for assigned product development activities and deliverables under the technical direction of Product Architects.
• Develop virtual prototypes, product concepts, component designs, and technical solutions to support early concept development, client solutioning, and rapid design iteration.
• Translate conceptual requirements, sketches, and technical decisions into accurate, constructable digital models.
• Develop and maintain master Revit models, reusable BIM content, families, templates, and product configuration content.
• Produce 2D concept drawings, layouts, design-intent documentation, and presentation-ready technical documentation.
• Support development of client, vendor-specific, site-specific, permit, and ETO product submittal packages.
• Assist in creating and maintaining Component Definition Documents (CDDs), Illustrated Basis of Design (iBODs), and other product-definition deliverables.
• Support early Long Lead Equipment (LLE) Bills of Material (BOMs) development and maintenance.
• Review and mark up specifications, vendor submittals, and technical documentation to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to incorporate requirements, constraints, and design changes into product deliverables.
• Ensure product models and documentation are accurate, clear, and suitable for downstream Detailed Design.
• Conduct research on products, materials, and technologies to support technical decisions and product improvement.
• Participate in product development meetings, design reviews, and technical workshops.
• Manage models, drawings, and documentation in accordance with company standards and workflows.
• Identify opportunities for cost reduction, standardization, and process improvement.
• Capture and incorporate lessons learned from various stages of product lifecycle into development deliverables.

Requirements

• Vocational or Technical Certificate, Associate Degree, or Bachelor's Degree in engineering drafting, design, technology, or related field; equivalent experience accepted.
• 5+ years of experience in product development, engineering design, BIM/VDC, modular construction, or related technical environment.
• Ability to travel 10-50%.
• Flexible work schedule, including potential nights, weekends, and holidays.

Qualifications

• Strong technical modeling capability and product thinking.
• Proficiency in Revit, Bluebeam Revu, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).
• Working knowledge of Autodesk Inventor, Vault (PDM), and familiarity with Autodesk Forma, Fusion Manage (PLM), Acumatica (ERP), Navisworks, and MS Office tools.
• Understanding of engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction processes.
• Ability to interpret technical documentation and apply industry standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA).

Technical Capabilities

• Develop ETO and complex engineered products, including modular and prefabricated systems.
• Translate concepts into digital models and documentation.
• Apply virtual prototyping and rapid design iteration.
• Interpret multidisciplinary technical documentation and diagrams.
• Conduct independent research and evaluate technical solutions.
• Develop and maintain standardized design content.

Software Proficiency

• Advanced proficiency in Revit (BIM, modeling, families, schedules).
• Strong proficiency in Bluebeam Revu and Autodesk Construction Cloud.
• Working proficiency in Autodesk Inventor and Vault (PDM).
• Familiarity with Autodesk Forma, Fusion Manage, Acumatica, Navisworks, and MS Office.
