Founding Member of Technical Staff - Structural Engineer (PE Preferred)
Job details
About this role
Role overview Own structural engineering delivery and automation for data center and industrial projects, from foundations through equipment supports. You’ll produce designs and construction documentation for active projects while building parametric workflows that make analysis, modeling, sizing, and drawing production repeatable across future sites. The work builds on existing structural and architectural automation.
Responsibilities - Deliver structural packages covering foundations, steel and concrete structures, equipment supports, loading calculations, connections, and construction documents. - Develop parametric workflows for structural analysis, sizing, optimization, 3D modeling, and drawing generation. - Integrate analysis software such as SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD, or comparable tools into automated workflows. - Link structural design with civil, electrical, and mechanical systems so equipment changes, loads, and site constraints can update the design. - Use AI coding agents to build and ship the automation engine.
Requirements - Deep understanding of 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 engineering fundamentals rather than relying solely on software outputs or standard workflows. - Ability to write and ship code using AI tools; a traditional software engineering background is not required. - Strong technical judgment and ownership.
Nice to have - A PE or SE license is helpful but not required. - Experience with first-of-a-kind structures, industrial systems, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, or other technically demanding physical products.
Benefits and work setup - Full-time, remote role in the US or Canada, excluding Quebec. - Base compensation listed as US$150,000–$250,000 or CA$215,000–$355,000, plus founding-team equity. - Health plans with dependent coverage fully paid.
