Design what’s next. Build your future with us.

At Glass Flooring Systems, we turn bold architectural ideas into engineered glass systems people can walk on. From dramatic glass floors and staircases to advanced walkable skylights, our products bring light and striking design to exceptional residential and commercial spaces.

Innovation drives our business. Our patented systems, proprietary anti-slip textures, and certified walkable skylights reflect our commitment to advancing architectural glass. We’re also investing in AI, design technology, and product development to expand what we can achieve.

We’re seeking a technically minded, creative professional who wants to do more than produce drawings. You’ll help design, prototype, and develop new products while supporting the custom systems we deliver today.

• Make a visible contribution. Work closely with our team and see your designs become finished products.
• Grow with the company. Build your expertise and take on greater responsibility in design, development, and project coordination.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare shop drawings, fabrication details, and installation drawings using Autodesk AutoCAD.
• Create accurate 3D models of components, connections, and complete assemblies.
• Use 3D printing to produce prototypes, evaluate fit and function, and refine designs.
• Participate directly in the design and development of new products and improvements to existing systems.
• Apply basic engineering principles when developing details and evaluating design options.
• Collaborate with engineering, estimating, and production to create practical, manufacturable solutions.
• Review architectural plans and specifications, coordinate revisions, and verify drawing accuracy.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 3 years of professional drafting work experience.
• Proficiency in Autodesk AutoCAD.
• Strong 3D drafting and modeling skills.
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing, including model preparation, printer operation, and prototyping.
• Understanding of basic engineering principles, including loads, structural support, material behavior, and connections.
• Ability to read architectural plans, sections, details, and specifications.
• Strong attention to dimensions, tolerances, fit, and assembly.
• A collaborative mindset, practical problem-solving skills, and an interest in developing new products.

Experience with architectural glass, structural framing, metal fabrication, or building product development is a plus.

Bring your ideas, technical skills, and curiosity. Help us develop the next generation of architectural glass systems.

To apply, submit your résumé and examples of your drafting, 3D modeling, and 3D printing or product development work.

About Glass Flooring Systems

Glass Flooring Systems specializes in complete walkable-skylights and glass-flooring systems. Our patented framing systems have a host of innovative features that fully address the shortcomings in traditional glass floors and skylights. As the industry leader in structural walk-on glass, we not only offer innovative walkable glass products, we provide an extensive array of glass-floor components and offer unbeatable product support.

Headquartered in Sparta, NJ, Glass Flooring Systems is a full-service manufacturing firm that designs, produces, assembles, and ships walkable skylights and glass-flooring products anywhere in the world. Why do we lead the industry?

We do this to ensure we’re providing superior quality and to make it as easy and seamless as possible for our products to be integrated into your designs.
