Prefabrication Systems Engineer – R+D Innovation

At oWOW, we’re on a mission to transform how multifamily housing comes to life.

We’re a vertically integrated real estate developer, combining architecture, R&D, real estate development, and software under one roof. Our team has pioneered groundbreaking projects, including the tallest mass timber building on the West Coast and the first mass‑timber multifamily building in San Francisco.

Role

We’re seeking a Prefabrication Systems Engineer to drive the next evolution of oWOW’s prefabricated component systems. You’ll bridge design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation, working closely with the design team, fabricators, suppliers, and installers to develop scalable building systems that reduce cost, improve quality, and accelerate construction.

Responsibilities

• Engineer and prototype new unitized cladding and envelope systems that balance aesthetics, performance, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with facade fabricators and suppliers to refine system details, connections, and production sequences.
• Produce shop drawings and 3D fabrication models, coordinating with structural and waterproofing consultants.
• Build and test physical mock‑ups, validate installation procedures, and document lessons learned for continuous improvement.
• Design prefabricated interior walls and ceilings with coordinated MEP components.
• Lead mock‑up testing and on‑site trials to optimize speed, tolerance, and reliability.
• Coordinate feedback between MEP engineers, fabricators, and installers to ensure systems are field‑ready and code‑compliant.
• Negotiate with suppliers to secure bulk pricing and MSAs with manufacturing partners.
