Structural Design Engineer (Founding Team/Consultant)

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
