About the role
Structural engineer role within Fluidstack's Modular team, focusing on design, validation, and integration of factory-built data center modules for AI compute scalability.
Responsibilities
- Engineer the structural systems of the modular product, frames, enclosures, and lifting and transport structures, from concept through released fabrication drawings.
- Own the structural calcs and load paths so modules survive fabrication, shipping, rigging, and stacking without redesign.
- Solve the integration problems where structure meets MEP: penetrations, attachment points, and tolerances where the disciplines collide.
- Run structural support for the factory and field, answering RFIs same-day and engineering fixes into the next revision.
- Drive prototyping and validation through mockups, fit checks, and first-article reviews you attend in person.
Qualifications
- You've engineered structures hands-on for complex physical products, modular construction, or heavy fabrication (modules, trailers, skids, container conversions).
- You've taken a steel or sheet metal product from concept through fabrication, not just analyzed someone else's design.
- You've supported production launches of your own designs and stayed accountable through first articles.
- You treat transport loads, lifting points, and stacking as first-class design constraints, not afterthoughts checked at the end.
- Your drawings build clean: fabricators rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing.
- You work across disciplines instead of throwing problems over walls, and you iterate fast without losing configuration control.
