Rugged Robotics is on a mission to empower the construction industry to build better by innovating new approaches to tough problems using automation. We are a fast-paced start-up environment where every employee takes on many roles and wears many hats. To help our customers to build better, we need to build the best team.
The software team at Rugged Robotics is responsible for prototyping, developing, and implementing software solutions that power the automation of our construction layout robots. As a CAD/BIM Plugin Engineer, you’ll build critical integrations with design tools like Revit and AutoCAD. These plugins will serve as both the entry point to our robotic layout data pipeline and as standalone tools to help users clean, validate, and optimize architectural models. Your work will directly impact how design intent becomes precise, real-world execution on the jobsite.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust plugins for Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD
• Build the software interface between CAD/design models and our robotic layout system
• Develop productivity tools that assist users in cleaning, validating, and correcting low-quality or incomplete BIM/CAD models
• Collaborate with robotics, software, and product teams to define plugin capabilities and data requirements
• Translate complex model geometry and metadata into structured layout data
• Explore opportunities to integrate AI/ML for semi-automated model cleanup and decision support
• Implement intuitive plugin UI/UX within CAD/BIM environments using WPF or similar frameworks
• Optimize plugin performance to handle large, complex design files
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code with test coverage
• Support internal teams and customers with plugin setup, onboarding, and troubleshooting
