About the Opportunity We are partnering with a growing manufacturer specializing in custom enclosures, seeking a Structural Engineer to bring critical in-house expertise to their engineering team. This is a high-impact role where you’ll own structural validation and analysis—something the organization currently lacks internally.

What You’ll Be Doing Perform structural analysis and validation on enclosure designs prior to external PE review

Ensure designs meet applicable codes, safety standards, and customer requirements

Optimize designs for cost efficiency without compromising structural integrity

Collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to refine concepts

If licensed, stamp and approve drawings internally

What We’re Looking For5–10+ years of experience in structural engineering / design

Experience with structural analysis software (RISA, Sky Civ, or similar tools)
Background in enclosures, sheet metal structures, or similar systems is a strong plus Solid understanding of structural design principles and applicable codesFE/EIT required or in progress; PE license strongly preferred

Why This Role Stands Out Opportunity to build and own the structural function internally

High visibility and influence on product safety and design standards

Flexibility in compensation based on experience and licensure

Path to become the go-to technical authority within the organization
