Space Planning: Strategically map out building floor plans to accommodate incoming equipment, temporary builds, and ongoing operational workflows.
Who they want

5+ years of experience in space planning, industrial facility management, or hardware project management.
•
Experience using CAD software for 2D/3D facility layout, workcell placement, and spatial planning.
•
Demonstrated track record of managing technical buildouts or workcell projects from concept to completion.
•
Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to keep diverse teams aligned.
•
Low-ego, team-first collaborative style with a pragmatic, "can-do" approach to daily problem-solving.
Nice to have
•
Electrical Systems Knowledge: Practical understanding of building electrical infrastructure, power load requirements, and drop planning for industrial machinery/workcells.
•
Hands-On Fabrication Skills: Practical experience with custom fabrication, mechanical assembly, prototyping, or working with shop tools to build physical test rigs or workcells.
