Job description
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Structural Engineer to join our engineering team and drive the design, analysis, and validation of modular steel structures. While experience in bridge or suspended structure design is highly valued, the core focus of this role is on modular fabrication, large welded assemblies, and containerized structures used in high-load industrial environments.
This role requires for a hands-on engineer who can translate concepts into production-ready designs, work closely with fabrication teams, and ensure structural integrity, safety, and code compliance. May require 25% travel.
Key Responsibilities
- Structural Engineer is responsible for designing modular steel structures, large welded assemblies, platforms, frames, and load-bearing systems for containerized and enclosure-based applications.
- Perform structural analysis using FEA software and hand calculations to evaluate static and dynamic loads, fatigue, seismic, and wind loading.
- Incorporate bridge engineering principles when applicable to long-span or suspended modular systems.
- Develop engineering drawings, design reports, and complete technical documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit/BIM tools.
- Produce accurate bills of materials (BOMs), weld symbols, and fabrication-ready drawings.
- Partner with fabrication, quality, and project teams to ensure structural designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost efficiency, and internal capability.
- Support shop drawing reviews, first article builds, and QA/QC testing for structural validation.
- Conduct site assessments, participate in installation support, and perform structural evaluations of deployed modular systems.
- Ensure all designs comply with applicable structural codes and standards, including IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1, and applicable state regulations.
- Support initiatives toward ISO9001 certification and continuous improvement efforts.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred)
- 5+ years of experience in structural design for steel structures, welded assemblies, or modular systems
- Proficiency with FEA tools (RISA, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, or similar)
- Experience with CAD platforms including SolidWorks and AutoCAD; familiarity with Revit or BIM tools preferred
- Strong understanding of structural design principles, welding/joint design, corrosion protection, and load path analysis
- Knowledge of relevant building codes and standards (IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1)
- Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills
- PE licensure or the ability to obtain within 12 months
- Experience in modular construction, container-based fabrication, or bridge design
- Familiarity with design-for-manufacturing principles and fabrication workflows
- Experience collaborating directly with manufacturing and field installation teams
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus
