About the role

Director of Design Technology AgeWave Solutions | Central Florida Full-Time | Leadership Position About AgeWave Solutions AgeWave Solutions is a multidisciplinary architecture, engineering, planning, and design firm based in Central Florida. We serve production homebuilders, developers, and commercial clients, delivering architectural design, structural engineering, construction documentation, and related professional services. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a forward-thinking Director of Design Technology to lead the modernization of our design and production workflows. This is not a traditional BIM Manager position. We are seeking a technology-minded leader who understands architecture and engineering production and can leverage software, automation, and emerging technologies to fundamentally improve how our teams operate.
The Opportunity:
  • The Director of Design Technology will be responsible for evaluating, developing, implementing, and managing technologies that improve productivity, accuracy, consistency, and scalability across our architectural and engineering divisions.
  • The ideal candidate combines practical knowledge of architectural production with strong technical problem-solving skills and the ability to develop automation tools, integrate software platforms, and lead technology initiatives from concept through implementation.
  • We are particularly interested in candidates who can look beyond traditional CAD and BIM workflows and identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks, streamline production, reduce manual coordination, and create measurable operational efficiencies.
  • This is a hands-on leadership position requiring both strategic thinking and technical execution.
  • Key Responsibilities1. Design Technology Strategy & Innovation
  • Develop and execute a company-wide design technology roadmap.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, software platforms, and automation opportunities.
  • Identify inefficiencies in architectural and engineering production and develop scalable solutions.
  • Research and implement technologies that improve speed, accuracy, profitability, and client deliverables.
  • Collaborate directly with executive leadership to prioritize technology investments.2. Workflow Automation & Software Development
  • Design, develop, or oversee automation tools that eliminate repetitive production tasks.
  • Leverage technologies such as Python, Dynamo, AutoLISP, C#, APIs, and other scripting or programming environments.
  • Develop automated workflows for drawing production, model modifications, quality control, scheduling, and data extraction.
  • Evaluate opportunities to develop proprietary internal tools.3. Emerging Technologies
  • Identify opportunities to leverage technology for drawing review, document analysis, quality control, repetitive tasks, and knowledge management.
  • Evaluate and help implement development tools and automation platforms.
  • Collaborate with leadership and IT to establish secure, responsible AI adoption practices.
  • Develop pilot programs to validate emerging technologies before broader deployment.4. Implementation, Training & Change Management
  • Lead technology initiatives from research and proof of concept through deployment and adoption.
  • Work closely with architects, engineers, designers, and CAD technicians to understand production challenges.
  • Develop training programs and documentation to support new tools and workflows.
  • Establish measurable performance indicators for technology initiatives.
  • Ensure technology improvements translate into tangible operational and financial results.
Qualifications: RequiredSignificant professional experience in design technology, architectural technology, computational design, AEC automation, or related disciplines. Strong working knowledge of architectural or engineering production workflows. Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or comparable design applications. Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, or managing workflow automation. Ability to evaluate technical problems and develop practical, scalable solutions. Strong communication, project management, and cross-functional leadership skills. Proven ability to translate technology investments into measurable productivity improvements.
Highly Preferred: Proficiency in Python, Dynamo, AutoLISP, C#, or similar programming and automation tools. Experience with Autodesk APIs, Revit API, AutoCAD customization, or software integrations. Experience with production residential design, particularly high-volume homebuilder workflows. Familiarity with parametric design, configuration systems, and automated construction documentation. Experience integrating design data with estimating, quantity takeoffs, or purchasing platforms. Experience implementing workflows or developing internal software tools. Experience leading digital transformation initiatives within an architecture, engineering, or construction organization.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
