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.
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 (SAP
2000, 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, SAP
2000, 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
- 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, SAP
2000, 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
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, Energy Plus)
- 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
At Entuitive, we’re driven by a shared passion for creativity
, collaboration
, and technical excellence
. We see what others can’t — connecting the big picture with the finest details to deliver solutions that push the boundaries of building design,…
