• Set design rules, load paths, typical details, and tolerances
• Partner with architects and modelers to translate architectural intent into factory-buildable systems
• Work with Onshape Modeling / FeatureScript teams to encode structural rules in models
• Lead structural engineering on key projects
• Develop internal structural schemes and calculations for priority projects
• Prepare packages for external structural engineers and third-party inspectors
• Diagnose structural root causes behind issues in factory and field
• Coordinate with EORs and other consultants

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of structural engineering experience on building projects
• Demonstrated track record of coordinating with architects, MEP engineers, fabricators, and field teams
