Job Description

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated Summer Intern to join our Design Technology team in our effort to explore and develop technology-driven workflows that support early concept design—from massing studies to visualization. This opportunity is ideal for someone passionate about the intersection of architecture, computational design, and AI-driven processes, with a keen interest in evaluating and integrating emerging design technologies into practice.

The intern will assist in analyzing and optimizing design processes, exploring opportunities for automation and centralization, and testing new tools that enhance design efficiency, iteration, and decision-making. Additionally, they will contribute to AI-generated renderings and creative problem-solving methods that elevate architectural concept development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Research and evaluate emerging design platforms to enhance early-stage design workflows.
• Assist in developing cross-disciplinary strategies that unify and improve test fitting and concept package creation.
• Identify opportunities to automate or streamline design processes, integrating AI and computational tools.
• Explore and implement AI-generated renderings to support visual storytelling and design decision-making.
• Collaborate with architectural teams to align digital workflows with real-world project needs.
• Document findings, case studies, and best practices to contribute to firm-wide knowledge sharing.

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Architecture, Computational Design, Engineering, HCI or a related field.
• Strong design systems thinking, problem-solving skills, and an ability to analyze and optimize workflows.
• Experience with Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper, with an interest in AI tools and scripting (e.g., Python, C3, TensorFlow, Dynamo).
• Familiarity with generative design tools and early-stage evaluation platforms is a plus.
• Enthusiasm for rapid prototyping, user research, and creative problem-solving.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in an iterative and fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and presentation skills for documenting and sharing insights.

Our Mission:

To apply an interdisciplinary, sustainable and environmentally responsive approach to design that fulfills the full potential of our client’s objectives while enriching the lives of our staff and stakeholders.

For Consideration:

Please submit your resume, a cover letter outlining your interest, and a work sample of relevant work to Human Resources, Katharine Livingston, at klivingston@harthowerton.com .
