LARGE-SCALE SCULPTURE STUDIO SEEKS CAD DESIGNER

Hello possible new colleague. You might be—or have the mind of—an architect, industrial designer, model maker or artist with technical fascinations and we'll be happy to hear from you. You might come from a creative/design background but don't want to follow a traditional path in a traditional office. You might be 1-2 years (or more) out of school. Or you may be none of those but have the skills and the brain we're looking for. If so, please read on…

ABOUT US

Nikolas Weinstein Studios is a design studio in Long Island City, NY, established twenty-five years ago. For the past twenty-five years we've been building large-scale sculptural glass installations for domestic and international clients—hand-woven borosilicate glass tube textiles engineered to structural codes for landmark architectural spaces. We're friendly, focused, smart, professional, and hard-working. We're direct in our communication, understanding that our main purpose is to contribute to the success of the studio. Because we're a small business, we all fill many roles. This means there may be variety in what you'll be doing, and also that you'll be expected to be part of a team, possibly working outside your job description or comfort zone at times.

This is an in-studio position. Being present in the shop matters to us—not just for the working relationships, but because seeing fabrication happen around you is part of how you'll learn the practical side of this work.

THE JOB

You'll start by getting up to speed on how we use CAD across a project's life, working alongside our current CAD lead during the transition. The early part of the role is focused and learnable quickly; the scope grows from there as you take on more.

To start, you'll be:

— Bringing new client architectural drawings into our CAD environment, setting scales, and cleaning them up.

— Populating those models with our existing sculptures to help us and clients gauge scale and fit in a space under consideration.

— Preparing simplified models of spaces—stripping out extraneous detail to isolate the architectural characteristics that matter for a given design.

As you take on more, the role grows into:

— Digitizing and integrating new sculptural designs into the CAD environment, and refining them for both appearance and preliminary structural logic.

— Preparing geometry to hand off for structural analysis and hardware detailing.

— Using our custom Grasshopper scripts to break sculptures down into buildable components: glass cut lists, mold topography, cable schedules and attachment points, and the other "recipes" that drive fabrication.

— Supporting the fabrication team with model queries as they work through builds, and helping plan and prepare installation methodology with the install team.

Some of the work adjacent to proposals—V-Ray renders and graphic packages for prospective clients—may come up as well; comfort with V-Ray, Photoshop, and InDesign is a plus, though not the core of the job.

We're a technology- and innovation-forward studio. We're often solving problems that don't have an existing playbook, and we're genuinely interested in new tools and methods, including where AI can help, while staying committed to the physical, buildable world that's always grounded how we design and build. This isn't the central focus of the role, but it's part of the studio's culture, and we're always glad to have people who want to poke at that edge with us.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

— CAD—proficiency in Rhino and Grasshopper is strongly preferred. Knowledge of Fusion 360 or Inventor is a plus; we don't work in AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks in-house. Know your way around parametric modeling; the specific software history matters less than the underlying fluency. V-Ray, Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator experience is a nice-to-have for proposal and presentation work, not a requirement.

— Physical—have some experience or interest in the built world, including general familiarity with woodworking and architectural model making. Exhibit some appreciation or understanding of physical dimensions and forces so you can incorporate real-world conditions into your thought process and decision making.

— This job is not for you if you need a boss and colleagues who hand you a complete to-do list to work effectively. It is a great fit if, once handed the ball and a direction, you can run with it, manage your own time, and plot your own course. We won't babysit—the people who thrive here are the ones with their own internal drive to dig into a problem. In turn, this role comes with real independence and latitude to shape how you approach the work.

— Steady under pressure. This is a small business with a lot going on, and you'll be pulled in multiple directions at once. You should be comfortable troubleshooting problems as they come up, holding yourself accountable for the quality of your work, and staying efficient and calm while doing it.

— Open to dialogue and accepting of disagreement. Many opinions and ideas are solicited. Not everyone can be right every time, but we are all committed to the process and continue to contribute anew each time.

— Good written and verbal communication skills. Basic administrative computer skills. Ability to compose an articulate email is a plus.

— Some domestic and international travel may be required.

COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE

This is a part-time, hourly, in-studio position to start—roughly half-time, with the possibility of increasing as the role grows. This is a W-2 position; benefits become available if and when hours move to full-time.

LOCATION

A one-of-a-kind building a 10-minute walk to trains (7, E, F, G, M, N, W) with access to dedicated bike paths.

APPLICATION

To apply for this position, please submit:

1. Resume and cover letter.

2. Designs and/or drawings you've developed that show your ability to take apart or put together somewhat complicated things in virtual space.

3. Any information on projects you've been involved with that you think would help us evaluate your application.

4. You may include salary requirements.

You MUST put "CAD Designer" in your subject heading or you will not be considered.

This job will remain open until we find the right person. Thanks for making it to the end. We look forward to hearing from you and perhaps meeting you.

Pay: $30.00 - $40.00 per hour

Experience:

Rhino & Grasshopper: 2 years (Required)

Ability to Commute:

Long Island City, NY 11101 (Required)
