About the role
- This is a hands-on R&D engineering role focused on turning early concepts into practical, code-compliant, manufacturable, installable, and scalable structural solutions.
- This is not a traditional desk-only structural engineering role.
- Evaluate structural risks and constraints related to panelized construction, light-frame or light-gauge systems, lateral load paths, openings, penetrations, fastening, tolerances, transportation, lifting, and site installation.
Responsibilities
- As a Senior Structural Engineer within Research & Development, you will help develop and validate the next generation of structural building systems for Veev's vertically integrated homebuilding platform.
- The right candidate will be self-motivated, inquisitive, and comfortable working across design, prototyping, factory operations, and field construction to understand how structural systems actually perform in the real world.
- You will drive structural problem-solving across load paths, framing strategies, panelized assemblies, connections, anchorage, tolerances, installation sequencing, and code-driven constraints.
- Lead the design, development, and validation of structural solutions for Veev's closed-panel building systems, including framing strategies, load paths, connections, anchorage, bracing, and structural interfaces.
- Partner with the R&D Architect, MEP engineering, and prototype teams to integrate structural requirements into early-stage architectural, product, and building-system concepts.
- Develop practical structural details and assembly strategies that account for code compliance, constructability, DFMA principles, manufacturing constraints, installation sequence, inspection requirements, and field execution.
- Perform structural analysis, calculations, and technical evaluations to validate concepts, justify design decisions, and support internal or external engineering review.
- Design prototypes, mockups, test plans, and validation methods to assess feasibility, structural performance, code compliance, manufacturability, constructability, and field readiness.
- Support root-cause analysis and problem solving for structural issues identified through prototyping, factory builds, NPI, quality feedback, construction execution, or jurisdictional review.
- Help define structural design rules, technical standards, lessons learned, connection details, and scalable building-system approaches for future Veev models.
Requirements
- Must-Have Skills and Competencies Bachelor's or advanced degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience with light-frame construction, cold-formed steel, light-gauge steel, wood framing, panelized construction, modular construction, prefabricated building systems, or similar building-system platforms.
- Proven ability to solve practical structural, manufacturing, installation, or construction problems in real-world environments.
- Proficiency with CAD, structural analysis, or technical documentation workflows, with the ability to develop and review drawings, sketches, calculations, and assembly details.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills with the ability to explain structural issues, risks, assumptions, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly.
