Multidisciplinary architecture and design firm across science, mixed-use, workplace, and industrial sectors
Ci Design is a 51–200-person architecture practice founded in 2009, operating six offices with specializations in science & technology, mixed-use, residential, workplace, and industrial manufacturing. The tech stack is classic CAD/BIM—Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, Rhino—with no visible stack modernization in progress. Active hiring leans heavily design-focused (17 of 20 open roles), concentrated at senior and principal levels, suggesting growth through mid-to-senior practitioner acquisition rather than junior recruitment.

Services span architecture, planning, landscape design, experiential graphics, branding, lab and manufacturing planning, interior design, and procurement.
