## Description

We are seeking an experienced **Senior Project Engineer – Architectural Millwork** to lead the technical engineering and development of high-end custom millwork projects. Projects include luxury residential cabinetry, architectural woodwork, closets, casework, countertops, and other custom interior components.

This is a senior-level technical role for an architectural millwork professional who understands how to take complex designs from concept and field dimensions through production-ready engineering and fabrication. The Senior Project Engineer will work closely with design, project management, manufacturing, CNC, and installation teams to ensure every project is accurate, buildable, and executed to a high standard.

The ideal candidate brings extensive architectural millwork experience, advanced drafting and engineering capabilities, and a strong understanding of materials, hardware, joinery, CNC processes, fabrication, and installation. While project management experience is valuable, the primary focus of this position is **technical engineering and manufacturing execution**.

### Responsibilities

-   Lead the engineering and technical development of custom architectural millwork projects from design through fabrication and installation.
-   Create, review, and maintain detailed shop drawings, production drawings, cut information, and engineering documentation.
-   Translate architectural plans, design intent, specifications, and field measurements into accurate, production-ready engineering packages.
-   Engineer custom cabinetry, casework, closets, countertops, architectural woodwork, and other specialty interior components.
-   Support CNC programming, manufacturing processes, material optimization, and production planning.
-   Review designs for constructability, manufacturability, material requirements, hardware compatibility, and installation considerations.
-   Identify and resolve design conflicts, dimensional issues, material challenges, and manufacturing concerns before they reach production.
-   Coordinate closely with project managers, designers, CAD teams, production personnel, CNC operators, installers, and shop leadership.
-   Ensure engineering packages meet internal quality standards and provide the information required for efficient fabrication and field installation.
-   Provide technical guidance and mentorship to CAD designers, drafters, and junior engineering team members.
-   Support quality assurance throughout the engineering, manufacturing, and installation process.
-   Help develop and improve engineering standards, drawing practices, production workflows, and technical procedures.
-   Participate in project reviews and provide technical solutions for complex custom millwork conditions.

## Requirements

-   **Extensive architectural millwork engineering, drafting, or technical design experience**, preferably in a senior-level role.
-   Strong background in **high-end or luxury residential architectural millwork**.
-   Demonstrated experience engineering custom cabinetry, casework, closets, countertops, architectural woodwork, or similar custom products.
-   Advanced ability to create detailed **shop drawings and production-ready drawings for manufacturing**.
-   Strong understanding of CNC programming workflows, fabrication processes, and production requirements.
-   Proficiency with **AutoCAD, Microvellum, Cabinet Vision, AlphaCAM, Rhino, KCD**, or similar architectural millwork and manufacturing software.
-   Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, specifications, construction documents, design details, and field measurements.
-   Thorough knowledge of millwork materials, hardware, joinery, construction methods, fabrication techniques, and installation practices.
-   Experience working directly with manufacturing and shop teams to resolve technical and production issues.
-   Experience mentoring or providing technical leadership to designers, drafters, or engineering team members is preferred.
-   Luxury residential construction or custom home experience is highly desirable.
-   Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and attention to detail.
-   Ability to manage multiple technical priorities while maintaining accuracy and production deadlines.
