Role summary
Structured is seeking a Structural Design Engineer to join their founding team. This product-first role involves translating structural engineering principles, standards, and building codes into AI agents for their platform. You will co-design product features, lead technical delivery of AI-produced reviews for enterprise clients, and identify patterns for automation. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of structural design experience, expertise in QA/QC, systems thinking, and a passion for automation. Experience in BIM coordination, VDC, or AI/ML tools is a plus.
As a Structural Design Engineer (Founding Team) at Structured, you will sit at the intersection of professional engineering judgment and frontier AI.
This is a **product-first role:** you aren't just performing engineering tasks; y**ou are productizing structural intelligence**.
Working directly with our CTO and CPO, you will translate the nuances of load paths, framing systems, and cross-disciplinary coordination into autonomous AI agents. Your mission is to ensure our platform delivers professional-grade accuracy while mitigating risk for the world’s largest engineering firms.
**Your core responsibilities:**
* Encode Expertise: Translate complex structural logic, material standards, and building codes into structured patterns our AI agents can execute.
* Product Co-Design: Partner with engineering to test features, ship weekly, and ensure outputs meet a professional "PE-level" bar of excellence.
* Strategic Delivery: Lead the technical delivery of AI-produced reviews for enterprise clients, identifying the edge cases that drive our next model iteration.
* Customer Front-Lines: Join technical discovery with top-tier structural and multi-disciplinary firms to map their internal standards and pain points.
* Scale Systems: Identify recurring design patterns and structural inconsistencies across massive datasets to build automated "checks" into the core platform.
**Who you are**
* Industry Veteran: 2+ years of structural design experience. You’ve lived the pain of manual "redlining" and the complexity of Revit-based documentation.
* QA/QC Specialist: You have a proven track record of performing independent peer reviews and catching the framing or connection errors others miss.
* Systems Thinker: You can abstract patterns from specific projects and turn them into universal engineering logic.
* Hacker Mindset: You are a clear, structured communicator who is naturally inclined to automate your own workflows.
Nice to haves:
* Experience in BIM coordination or VDC (Virtual Design and Construction).
* Familiarity with AI/ML tools or early-stage startup environments.
Visa: CPT Eligible
Compensation (full-time) : $80,000 - 100,000
Consulting option: Competitive hourly or project-based rate
