About The Company
Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is dedicated to elevating cities through impactful design, collaborating closely with the world’s most forward-thinking clients to create high performing, carefully crafted buildings that are unique to their physical, social, and environmental contexts. The firm’s extensive portfolio spans more than 40 countries and includes a wide range of projects from commercial and residential buildings to civic and cultural spaces to education, research, and healthcare facilities. Driven by individual design solutions, rather than a predetermined style, KPF endeavors to design lasting buildings that mitigate their environmental impact and enhance the well-being of the communities they serve.
About the Role

KPF is a leading architecture and master planning firm that designs projects of various scales around the world. You will be working with the KPF Urban Interface (KPFui) team, a team focused on computational design, data analytics, and technology development. KPFui uses data analytics for informed decision making in the design of buildings and cities for people.

We believe that smart cities & buildings are not about drones, sensors or autonomous vehicles. A truly smart city should leverage data to design better neighborhoods and utilize technology to make that data transparent and publicly accessible. We think people should be in control of technology and not the other way around.

Role Description

This summer, KPFui is launching a new internship focused on vibe coding, building software through natural language prompting and AI collaboration. The internship will focus on developing a Rhino plugin connected to KPF's internal agentic AI solution, enabling designers to generate 3D geometry directly from natural language prompts. In addition, the internship will include broad AI-driven vibe coding experimentation, exploring how natural language programming can transform the way designers build tools and engage with technology.

We are looking for candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

  • C# / RhinoCommon / .NET software development
  • Python scripting in Rhino or Grasshopper
  • AI agent development / prompt engineering / LLM tooling
  • Computational design


 

Pay Range:

$22.00 - $25.00 Hourly
