Technical Designer — Architecture & Interiors
Loubier Design · Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ·
Posted Aug 20
Full-Time
About this role
Loubier Design is a high-end design/build millwork and furniture shop made up of designers, craftspeople, and makers who care deeply about design, materials, and how things are built.
We are looking for a Technical Designer with a background in architecture or interior design and a strong interest in fabrication. That interest may come from professional experience, woodworking, sculpture, furniture making, or simply a curiosity about how things go together.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role that connects design directly to production. You will work on several projects at once, developing technical drawings and CNC files that our shop uses to build custom millwork, furniture, and architectural interiors.
One of the most rewarding parts of the job is seeing your work built in real time. Our design and production teams work under the same roof, giving you the opportunity to collaborate directly with the craftspeople fabricating the work.
Responsibilities
Develop CNC-ready geometry, cut files, and production information
Produce detailed technical and shop drawings for fabrication
Translate design intent into accurate, buildable solutions
Work directly with carpenters, CNC operators, and project managers to resolve fabrication and detailing challenges
Manage multiple active projects and changing priorities
Participate in field surveys, measurements, and site coordination as needed
Prepare technical drawing packages for client and design-team review
Incorporate comments and revisions through the approval process
Qualifications
2+ years of professional experience required
Background or degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field
Strong proficiency in SketchUp
Ability to demonstrate a practical understanding of construction, fabrication, and how things are built
Experience producing detailed technical, architectural, millwork, or furniture drawings
Strong spatial reasoning and technical problem-solving skills
Ability to read and interpret architectural and interior design drawings
Excellent organization, communication, and time-management skills
Ability to work accurately while managing several projects at once
Portfolio or examples of complete technical drawing sets
Experience with Rhino, RhinoCAM, CNC fabrication, woodworking, furniture making, sculpture, model making, or other hands-on fabrication is valued, but not necessary.
We are most interested in someone who is detail-oriented, self-motivated, curious about how things are made, and excited to work closely with a talented fabrication team.
