About the role

In this role you'll have a completely unique opportunity to work with the highly talented Branch software engineering team, who are in-house at StructureCraft.

Develop, guide and oversee 3D structural models from the conceptual phase through to fabrication, assemblies, and instal lation.
Design for fabrication and structural efficiency - we build everything we design, so prototyping and close interaction with shop floor and CNC machines is critical.
Create and maintain computational design tools, scripts, algorithms and parametric workflows to automate and enable the production of complex 3D geometry and model.
Integrate structural analysis within computational workflows to enable real time feedback on structural elements and systems during the design process.
Collaborate with the computational design team, fabrication crews and our CNC operators to verify models have translated accurately into human- and machine-readable information.
Continual improvement of engineering process to improve efficiency and reduce design cycle times.
Manage and prioritize tasks to meet scheduled deadlines.
Maintain and grow technical knowledge in computational design, structural optimization, and digital fabrication, staying current with emerging tools, materials, and research in the field.

A bachelor's or master's degree in structural engineering.
Minimum 3-5 years experience 3D modeling geometrically complex structures in structural or architectural practices, and preferably in the Rhino 3D and Grasshopper environments.
Experience with computational structural analysis tools such as Karamba is an asset.
Demonstrated experience in digital fabrication through built projects, showing an understanding of design, modeling, detailing, CNC machining, and assembly techniques required to construct complex forms.
Experience with web programming (e.g. Node.JS, WebGL, etc) would be an asset.
Experience interfacing with CNC machines (G-code, BTL, BVX file generation) would be an asset.
English language is required.

Preferred 3-5 years of experience computer programming in C#, VB.net, Python, or equivalent in a working environment.

Come join North America's premier timber engineering and construction company!
These digital models are then transformed into human and machine-readable information for fabrication and installation.
