About the job
At Reframe Systems, we're committed to revolutionizing the construction of resilient, energy-efficient housing. Our innovative volumetric modular platform, along with advanced automated microfactories, aims to significantly reduce costs, delivery times, and embodied carbon emissions for both single-family and multifamily homes.
We are currently seeking a dedicated Structural Engineer to take charge of the structural design for our building platform. This pivotal role intersects building codes, Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), digital modeling, software-driven structural analysis, and practical factory applications. You will be responsible for defining load-bearing mechanisms, optimizing factory transitions, and ensuring structural integrity for decades of use.
Collaborating closely with architects, modeling teams, systems engineers, factory engineers, and external stamping engineers, you will transform structural engineering from a one-time project service into a scalable, repeatable product capability.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee Structural System Development
- Establish standard structural assemblies for walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and connections, focusing on an ideal balance of strength, stiffness, cost, and manufacturability.
- Create design rules, load pathways, typical details, and tolerances for reusability across various projects and products.
- Integrate Design, Modeling, and Manufacturing
- Cooperate with architects and modeling experts to translate architectural visions into structurally sound, factory-ready systems.
- Collaborate with the Onshape Modeling/FeatureScript teams to embed structural rules directly into models, automation processes, and shop documentation.
- Lead Structural Engineering Initiatives
- Develop internal structural schemes and calculations for priority projects prior to submission to the Engineer of Record.
- Compile comprehensive and organized packages for external structural engineers and third-party inspectors, facilitating efficient review cycles.
- Enhance Feedback Loops Between Design, Factory, and Field
- Identify structural issues such as cracking, misfits, or tolerance discrepancies in the factory and field settings.
- Apply lessons learned from on-site experiences to refine details, standards, and rules to mitigate future occurrences.
