About the role

  • Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way.
  • We're reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better.
  • OUTCOMES By your 90‑day mark, we'll look to you to have driven tangible, system‑level progress.

Responsibilities

  • Own the structural system for our platform
  • Set design rules, load paths, typical details, and tolerances that can be reused across products and projects.
  • Bridge design, modeling, and manufacturing
  • Partner with architects and modelers to translate architectural intent into structurally rational, factory‑buildable systems.
  • Lead structural engineering on key projects
  • Develop internal structural schemes and calculations for priority projects before they go to the Engineer of Record.
  • Prepare clear, well‑structured packages for external structural engineers and third‑party inspectors, and drive efficient review cycles.
  • Tighten the loop between design, factory, and field
  • Manage and level‑up external partners
  • Push for designs that are safe and code‑compliant without unnecessary over‑design, and quantify trade‑offs in cost and manufacturability.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated track record of coordinating with architects, MEP engineers, fabricators, and field teams.
  • Proficiency with structural analysis and documentation tools
  • If you believe you have the skills to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet 100% of the listed requirements.
  • Experience
  • 7+ years of structural engineering experience on building projects, ideally including multifamily or high‑repeatability housing types.
  • Technical depth
  • Strong grasp of structural behavior in wood/light‑gauge and mixed‑material systems (gravity, lateral, connections, deflection, movement, and creep).
  • Solid understanding of current building codes and standards, including IBC, ASCE 7, and relevant material-specific codes.
  • Familiarity with Massachusetts and/or California building codes, and comfort working with third‑party modular inspection agencies and local AHJs.
  • comfortable working from and back into Revit, and able to collaborate effectively with parametric CAD environments (Onshape, SolidWorks, Tekla, etc.).
  • Experience with or strong interest in API‑driven structural tools (for example SkyCiv, Dlubal RFEM 6, or similar), or a track record of using scripting/automation around more traditional tools (e.g., RISA, ETABS, SAP) to run repeatable studies and optimizations.
  • Systems mindset
  • Excited to turn one‑off project details into reusable patterns and rules.

Nice to have

  • Experience with modular, offsite, panelized, or other prefabricated systems is a strong plus.
