Structural Engineer, Modular R&D

FluidstackAustin, TX
$164,000 - $206,000Remote

About The Position

The Modular Team designs and ships factory-built data center modules that carry the largest AI compute buildout in history. Examples of key problems the team is working on: Engineer a modular data center product that survives fabrication, trucking, craning, and stacking without field rework. Resolve the collisions between structure and MEP: penetrations, attachment points, and tolerances where disciplines meet in a tight envelope. Compress the loop from factory and field issues to engineered fixes in the next design revision. Prove designs with physical mockups, fit checks, and first-article reviews before they scale to production.

Requirements

  • Engineered structures hands-on for complex physical products, modular construction, or heavy fabrication (modules, trailers, skids, container conversions).
  • Taken a steel or sheet metal product from concept through fabrication, not just analyzed someone else's design.
  • Supported production launches of your own designs and stayed accountable through first articles.
  • Treat transport loads, lifting points, and stacking as first-class design constraints, not afterthoughts checked at the end.
  • Drawings build clean: fabricators rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing.
  • Work across disciplines instead of throwing problems over walls, and iterate fast without losing configuration control.

Nice To Haves

  • PE license
  • Steel and sheet metal design depth
  • Structural detailing standards (AISC, AWS)
  • 3D CAD mastery (SolidWorks, Inventor, Revit)
  • Strong DFM instincts

Responsibilities

  • Engineer the structural systems of the modular product, frames, enclosures, and lifting and transport structures, from concept through released fabrication drawings.
  • Own the structural calcs and load paths so modules survive fabrication, shipping, rigging, and stacking without redesign.
  • Solve the integration problems where structure meets MEP: penetrations, attachment points, and tolerances where the disciplines collide.
  • Run structural support for the factory and field, answering RFIs same-day and engineering fixes into the next revision.
  • Drive prototyping and validation through mockups, fit checks, and first-article reviews you attend in person.

Benefits

  • Pay equity and transparency
