Description

  • Assess structural concepts against technical risk, cost, schedule, robustness, constructability, and delivery goals.
  • Lead gravity, wind, seismic, and vibration analyses for modules, frames, racks, and support structures.
  • Develop and recommend structural designs for MDCs, equipment skids, enclosures, and factory-built assemblies.
  • Validate HAC structural configurations for overhead, rack-integrated, and floor-supported systems.
  • Design seismic bracing and restraints for MEP systems, cable trays, pipe racks, and modular assemblies.
  • Engineer foundations, steel framing, and anchorage for chillers, generators, UPS units, pumps, heat exchangers, and fluid distribution equipment.
  • Establish structural approaches for thermal loads, vibration-sensitive equipment, and deflection-controlled assemblies.
  • Maintain DFMEA records and reduce structural risks across product families.
  • Improve repeatable product families for weight, manufacturability, cost, and platform scalability.
  • Support structural design for manufacturing facilities, including floor loads, equipment pads, crane rails, mezzanines, dock systems, and material handling infrastructure.
  • Assess the structural impact of factory reconfigurations, equipment installations, and capacity expansions.
  • Partner with facility planning and operations teams to define structural needs for production areas.
  • Support factory integration by addressing load paths, transportation loads, and installation limitations.
  • Create DFMA templates and modularization approaches that improve design repeatability.
  • Define and verify requirements for transportation, lifting, placement, shipping, and logistics.
  • Coordinate with BIM and Revit teams to maintain integrated, current, clash-free structural models.
  • Join multidisciplinary reviews and resolve clearances, anchorage zones, and maintenance access requirements.
  • Review coordination drawings and uphold model quality and LOD requirements under the BIM Execution Plan.
  • Work with fabrication shops and factory teams to make designs buildable, manufacturable, and ready for installation.
  • Review shop drawings, fabrication details, welds, connections, and material specifications.
  • Confirm lifting, rigging, transportation, and shipping load cases, including temporary bracing requirements.
  • Support factory builds, FATs, and field installations while resolving RFIs, NCRs, and production deviations.
  • Prepare and review calculations, drawings, specifications, and stamped engineering packages.
  • Coordinate third-party engineering firms and authority having jurisdiction approvals.
  • Maintain compliance with applicable codes, seismic standards, customer specifications, and certification routes.
  • Help establish design standards, platform templates, best practices, and lessons-learned materials.
  • Mentor junior engineers, lead technical reviews, and act as a senior escalation resource.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering or Civil Engineering with a structural focus is required.
  • At least eight years of progressively responsible structural engineering experience, including leadership of complex systems in high-availability industrial or mission-critical facilities.
  • A Professional Engineer (PE) license is required.
  • Demonstrated ability to prepare stamped engineering packages, review vendor calculations, and coordinate with authorities having jurisdiction.
  • Experience with modular construction, prefabricated data center infrastructure, or factory-built assemblies is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with hyperscale or colocation data center programs and platform-based delivery is a significant advantage.
  • Proficiency in SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD, RISA, RAM, or comparable structural analysis software.
  • Working knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, ACI, and relevant seismic and non-structural anchorage standards.
  • Ability to prepare and interpret stamped calculations, shop drawings, and fabrication details for steel, concrete, and connection design.
  • Familiarity with fatigue, vibration, and dynamic-load analysis for rotating or sensitive equipment environments.
  • Experience with CAD, PDM, and PLM platforms such as SolidWorks, Revit, Windchill, Teamcenter, or equivalents.
  • BIM coordination experience, including clash detection tools such as Navisworks and LOD standards, is a plus.
  • Practical knowledge of data center infrastructure, including MDCs, HAC systems, chillers, generators, UPS units, PDUs, SFN/cooling piping, and related structural demands.
  • Familiarity with ASHRAE, SMACNA, and seismic bracing standards for MEP systems in mission-critical facilities.
  • Understanding of modular and prefabricated construction, factory build sequences, and OTR shipping constraints.
  • Awareness of international codes and standards for global deployment programs is a plus.
  • Ability to clearly present and defend technical recommendations to engineering, manufacturing, and customer stakeholders.
  • Confidence leading design reviews, resolving cross-discipline conflicts, and making sound engineering decisions under schedule pressure.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers and contributing to shared standards and technical knowledge.
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally up to 30%.
  • A master’s degree is preferred.

Benefits

  • Performance-based short-term incentive.
  • Medical insurance coverage.
  • Dental insurance coverage.
  • Vision insurance coverage.
  • Paid time off accrued at 3.07 hours during the first year of employment.
  • Four weeks of paid parental leave.
  • Eleven company-paid holidays in 2027, comprising nine fixed holidays and two optional floating holidays, subject to annual change.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Employee stock purchase plan.
  • Domestic and/or international travel of up to 30%, described as rare.
