Creative Technologist - Hardware

As a member of the Digital Experience team, you will be a bridge between the physical and digital world, supporting the greater architecture and design teams at Gensler with our Digital Experience Design team to craft truly integrated technological solutions in the built environment.

You are curious about all types of technology and appreciate how it contributes to a larger experience. You have familiarity with existing hardware technologies and media displays that push the boundaries of physical design beyond a “rectangle on a wall.” Playing with hardware excites you and building relationships with inventors and vendors lets you showcase the latest emerging commercial technologies to the rest of the team. You feel comfortable figuring out new technologies that require hardware, software, firmware and a bunch of cables (or RF) to make it all work.

The Hardware Creative Technologist will be responsible for facilitating prototypes and mockups, researching new and existing products and coordinating with vendors and client teams to support fast-paced interdisciplinary teams of developers, interaction designers, graphic designers, digital and brand strategists to deliver projects ranging from discrete digital installations to multi-faceted immersive interactive environments. The Hardware Creative Technologist will be responsible for keeping our DesignLab organized and filled with inspiring technologies and materials.

You have experience with the architecture/engineering workflow and construction process, and the ways technology systems design & integration projects fold into the built environment.

You are comfortable leading both internal teams and external vendors/partners, as well as working with high-level clients towards the success of a project. You are also self-organized and able to not only track and maintain your own work, but also regularly provide updates to project teams on progress, hurdles and topics requiring extra attention.
