About the Role

The Senior Structural Engineer is responsible for the structural engineering ownership of product structures supporting CDU, switchgear, and related data center infrastructure equipment. This role ensures structures meet all load, seismic, transport, installation, and operational requirements across global deployment environments, providing authoritative structural analysis, design validation, and code compliance.

Responsibilities

Own structural design and analysis for data center centric power and cooling systems, including frames, enclosures, skids and mounting structures.
Perform and review structural calculations for static, dynamic, seismic, transport, wind, snow, installation, and live load cases.
Ensure structural designs meet applicable codes, standards and jurisdictional requirements for global deployment.
Lead seismic qualification efforts, including floor response spectra evaluation and anchorage requirements.
Evaluate floor loading limits, elevated installations and site-specific structural constraints.
Ensure designs safely support heavy components such as large bus structures and transformers under all operating and fault conditions.
Assess interactions with forklifts, cranes, and rigging operations during manufacturing, transport, and installation.
Ensure structural intent is accurately reflected in CAD models, drawings, and released documentation.
Review and guide structural CAD layouts, weldments, fastener strategies and anchoring details.
Partner with mechanical and CAD teams to maintain alignment between analytical assumptions and physical design implementation.
Verify manufacturing drawings clearly communicate load paths, interfaces and installation requirements.
Act as the technical authority for regulatory, AHJ and customer structural signoff requirements.
Prepare, review, and certify structural documentation required for compliance and customer acceptance.
Respond to structural inquiries, findings and deviations from customers, inspectors and third-party reviewers.
Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to identify and mitigate structural risks early.
Support prototype builds, qualification testing, and production ramp up through structural guidance and issue resolution.
Proactively identify structural risks that could lead to late-stage redesigns, production delays, or field retrofits.
