Mass Timber Design Revolution

About StructureCraft

We are an award-winning structural engineering, manufacturing, and construction company that specializes in timber structures. Our mission is to improve the built environment by demonstrating how the integrated Engineer-Build model produces better, more beautiful, and more efficient structures.

About Branch

Branch is our next-generation 3D design platform for mass timber structures. It aims to let users explore designs at a high level and immediately see the impact in terms of literal nuts and bolts. We believe that integrating data from all aspects of the process allows for faster exploration and holistic, elegant designs.

Project Goals

  • Create user-centric workflows that allow architects and structural engineers to input building parameters and receive real-time feedback on structural options.
  • Develop an intuitive user interface that balances simplicity for early-stage design with the depth needed for more detailed structural and material analysis.
  • Develop 'lens' workflows to view engineering mode, which allows users to review the structural analysis data and modelling mode, which will allow them to create and modify massing schemes.

Key Deliverables

1 - Workflow Design & User Journeys:

  • Map out user workflows for key use cases (e.g., initial concept design, real-time optimization, adjusting parameters based on structural feedback).
  • Develop user journey maps that cover different personas (e.g., architects, structural engineers, developers).
  • Develop user journey for real-time collaboration mode e.g. use of the tool by multiple stakeholders in design charettes.

2 - Wireframes & Prototypes:

  • Create wireframes that outline the core screens and navigation for the software, focusing on usability and efficiency in mass timber design.
  • Develop interactive prototypes for testing the user flows and design decisions.
  • Develop data dashboards for carbon, structural sizing, supplier selection, material selection.
  • Develop UX and UI to support the switching between the engineering and modelling lens.

3 - UI Design:

  • Design the user interface, ensuring alignment with Branch's branding and accessibility standards.
  • Develop initial icon and colour library for prototype.
  • Develop a series of dashboards e.g. carbon, area calculations, compare function, engineering dashboards, etc.
  • Collaborate with the product and engineering teams to ensure feasibility and smooth implementation of the UI designs.

4 - Usability Testing & Iteration:

  • Conduct usability testing sessions with internal and external stakeholders, including architects and engineers.
  • Incorporate feedback and iterate on designs to ensure they meet the needs of the target audience.
Job Requirements

Requirements

  • Proven experience in UI/UX design, with a focus on software tools for architecture, engineering, or construction industries.
  • Minimum 4-5 years in a UI/UX role or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in design and prototyping tools (e.g., Miro, Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD).
  • Familiarity with design tools like Rhino or Revit, and experience working on projects involving mass timber or sustainable building practices is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.
Compensation & Benefits

Estimated Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 per year

Location: Remote location but eastern time or pacific time zones strongly preferred

This engagement will require close collaboration with our internal development team and external stakeholders, with a focus on delivering a user-friendly tool that meets the practical needs of designers working on mass timber building projects.
