    Job Description

    Job Description

    Turf Design is an architectural acoustics company that designs and produces interior architectural installations with an emphasis on functional, sophisticated, and easy to install acoustic solutions. We exist at the intersection of architecture and product design - "between a chair and a building," as many of our designers put it. We're a design company, but we're also a manufacturer with fabrication and prototyping at our core. We're a group of tinkerers, makers, product designers and former architects that left the field of architecture to work at the scale of architectural installations - small scale architecture with faster project timelines and half the red tape.

    This is a full-time in office position, requiring a minimum of 3-5 years of industry experience in the field of architecture, product and/or industrial design. The ideal candidate is flexible, technically oriented and has a general understanding of the architectural design and construction cycle. Architectural Designers work with clients, contractors, and the design and production teams, drafting interior product solutions at an architectural scale with Turf's premium and standard product lines. They work from construction documents to translate the client's initial drawings into something that can be easily manufactured and installed while evaluating and rationalizing design intent.

    • Seeks peer review for projects and customizations to evaluate and verify product use.
    • Involvement in client meetings to discuss feedback and maintain product requirements.
    • Packages the complete product specification for Design, Engineering, and Production.
    • Advocates and balances the client's best interests with Turf's.
