- Support R&D and product development by designing and optimizing structural components within electrical equipment.
- Design and analyze equipment skids, frames, enclosures, and containerized or modular power solutions.
- Provide structural guidance on anchorage, load paths, vibration, and transport-related considerations.
- Support continuous improvement of structural design practices, seismic strategies, and internal engineering standards.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering (structural emphasis required); Master’s degree preferred.
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required; California licensure strongly preferred.
- 5–10 years of experience in structural engineering, with a focus on seismic design and nonstructural component qualification.
- Demonstrated experience with HCAi preapproval processes.
- Strong working knowledge of ICC-ES AC156, IBC, UBC, and IEEE 693.
- Experience designing structural steel components, frames, skids, and equipment support structures.
- Ability to translate code and test requirements into practical, manufacturable designs.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, sales, and customers.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees' well-being, growth, and long-term success.
