About the role

  • If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. - The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters.
  • No layers, no waiting for approval chains.
  • You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. - The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • As Senior Structural Engineer, you'll serve as the technical authority for the structural design of Giga's modular data center product line and associated site infrastructure.
  • This role spans two structural domains: modular enclosure design in steel and building structural design for mission critical site infrastructure.
  • You'll own the Structural Plan of Record (POR), ensuring all designs meet Risk Category IV requirements for essential facilities while optimizing for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).
  • You'll bridge the gap between innovative modular product design and traditional site infrastructure, creating standardized solutions that can scale across hundreds of deployments.
  • You will stamp drawings, manage peer reviews, resolve cross-discipline clashes before steel is cut, and develop standardized structural templates that compress engineering cycle time across hundreds of deployments.
  • This role is deeply collaborative, working closely with manufacturing, MEP, and field teams from design through delivery.
  • Modular Product Design (Steel & Dynamics)
  • Structural Analysis: Perform advanced static and dynamic analysis on modular steel enclosures. Calculate stresses for multiple load cases including transportation shock/vibration, crane lifting/rigging (pick points), and stacking configurations.
  • Steel Detailing: Design and seal cold-formed and hot-rolled steel assemblies in accordance with AISC 360 and AISI S100.
  • Connection Design: optimize connection details (moment frames, braced frames) for mass production, minimizing field welding in favor of bolted, verifiable connections.

Requirements

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required
  • 6+ years of experience in industrial, power generation, or mission-critical facility design
  • Expert-level proficiency in RISA-3D, SAP2000, ETABS, or STAAD.Pro for structural analysis
  • Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit Structure and Navisworks for BIM modeling and coordination, with working knowledge of Tekla Structures.
  • Strong understanding of ACI 318 (Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete)
  • Experience designing both structural steel and reinforced concrete systems
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering required
  • Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering Experience with ANSYS or similar FEA tools for advanced connection analysis
  • Knowledge of ISO 1496 (ISO Container Testing) relevant for modular transport
  • Experience with data center or mission-critical facility design (Risk Category IV)

Compensation

  • $11k-$22k

Benefits

  • If based outside of our Houston, Long Beach, Reno, or San Francisco hubs, this role will be based remotely from your home office.
