Founding Member of Technical Staff - Structural Engineer

Role overview Lead structural design delivery and automation for data center and industrial projects, covering work from foundations to specialized equipment supports. You’ll produce engineering for active projects while developing parametric workflows that make analysis, modeling, and documentation repeatable across future sites. The work builds on existing structural and architectural automation efforts.

Responsibilities - Deliver structural engineering packages for live projects, including foundations, steel and concrete structures, equipment supports, load calculations, connection design, and construction documents. - Build parametric workflows for structural analysis, member sizing, optimization, 3D modeling, and drawing generation. - Integrate structural analysis software into automated engineering processes. - Connect structural design with civil, electrical, and mechanical systems so changes to equipment, loads, and site conditions can flow through to the design. - Use AI coding agents to develop and ship the structural automation engine.

Requirements - Deep understanding of structural mechanics, including statics, dynamics, material behavior, load paths, stability, and failure modes. - Experience designing, analyzing, or building real structures or other complex load-bearing systems. - Ability to reason from first principles and assess engineering results rather than relying solely on software outputs. - Ability to produce working code with AI tools; a prior software engineering role is not required. - Strong technical judgment and a willingness to take ownership of difficult problems.

Nice to have Experience with first-of-a-kind structures, industrial systems, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, or other technically demanding physical products. A PE or SE license is helpful but not required; experience with data centers, conventional buildings, or engineering consultancy work is not a prerequisite.

Benefits and work setup Full-time, remote work from the US or Canada, excluding Quebec. The role includes founding-team equity, fully covered health plans with dependent coverage, and a base salary range of US$150,000–$250,000 or CA$215,000–$355,000.
