Senior Structural Engineer, R&D

About Veev

Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev’s prefabricated closed-panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on-site while delivering a more sustainable and higher-quality final product than traditional construction. As a new subsidiary of Lennar, Veev leverages the strength and scale of its parent company while maintaining the speed and disruptive approach of its roots as a Silicon Valley-based startup.

Veev has developed a vertically integrated approach that involves multidisciplinary collaboration across real estate, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

This role is critical to Veev’s mission of transforming construction through modern, sustainable, and efficient building systems. In this role, you will directly contribute to the development and validation of structural solutions that improve how homes are designed, manufactured, assembled, inspected, and delivered. Your work will have a tangible impact on Veev’s ability to scale high-quality homebuilding through better engineering, stronger DFMA, and tighter integration between design, factory, and field execution.

As a Senior Structural Engineer within Research & Development, you will help develop and validate the next generation of structural building systems for Veev’s vertically integrated homebuilding platform. This is a hands-on R&D engineering role focused on turning early concepts into practical, code-compliant, manufacturable, installable, and scalable structural solutions.

This is not a traditional desk-only structural engineering role. The right candidate will be self-motivated, inquisitive, and comfortable working across design, prototyping, factory operations, and field construction to understand how structural systems actually perform in the real world. You will work closely with the R&D Architect, MEP engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, construction, Product, Real Estate, and Engineering Production teams to ensure structural solutions work not only in calculations and models, but also in the factory and in the field.

You will drive structural problem-solving across load paths, framing strategies, panelized assemblies, connections, anchorage, tolerances, installation sequencing, and code-driven constraints. You will support prototype builds, evaluate first-article feedback, coordinate with internal and external engineering partners, and help translate structural concepts into validated solutions that can be released into Veev’s product platform.

• Lead the design, development, and validation of structural solutions for Veev’s closed-panel building systems, including framing strategies, load paths, connections, anchorage, bracing, and structural interfaces.
• Partner with the R&D Architect, MEP engineering, and prototype teams to integrate structural requirements into early-stage architectural, product, and building-system concepts.
• Develop practical structural details and assembly strategies that account for code compliance, constructability, DFMA principles, manufacturing constraints, installation sequence, inspection requirements, and field execution.
• Perform structural analysis, calculations, and technical evaluations to validate concepts, justify design decisions, and support internal or external engineering review.
• Evaluate structural risks and constraints related to panelized construction, light-frame or light-gauge systems, lateral load paths, openings, penetrations, fastening, tolerances, transportation, lifting, and site installation.
• Design prototypes, mockups, test plans, and validation methods to assess feasibility, structural performance, code compliance, manufacturability, constructability, and field readiness.
• Support root-cause analysis and problem solving for structural issues identified through prototyping, factory builds, NPI, quality feedback, construction execution, or jurisdictional review.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external engineering partners to develop new structural solutions, improve existing models, and validate new technologies before…
