Roof Penetration Housing (RPH) is a dynamic, rapidly expanding leader in the commercial building products industry, trusted by architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners on a wide range of critical projects, from hospitals and data centers to K-12 schools. Our innovative, engineered solutions prevent roof and wall leaks and ensure storm shelters and safe rooms meet code requirements and protect occupants during severe weather events.
We nearly doubled revenue in 2025, and we’re still accelerating. We’re experiencing rapid expansion across both our New Jersey and Texas locations, and we’re growing our powerhouse team as we continue setting new benchmarks for performance, safety, and success in commercial construction.
But what we’re most proud of isn’t the growth, it’s how we grow: deliberately, together, and without cutting corners. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d like to meet you.
Position SummaryThe Simulation Analysis Engineer is responsible for performing engineering simulation and structural analysis to evaluate product performance under real-world conditions including structural loading, vibration, thermal effects, pressure, fatigue, and impact forces. This role supports product development, design optimization, testing, and validation efforts through the use of analytical modeling and simulation tools. The SA Engineer works closely with engineering, product development, manufacturing, and testing teams to improve product reliability, reduce design risk, and support the successful development of engineered solutions.
Aboutthe Role
This role is a full-time, salaried role that directly reports to the Director of Engineering. This role will be HYBRID in office in New Jersey (3 days a week IN OFFICE and 2 days in your home office). This role will require up to 5-10% travel requirements, fully paid by the company, to various locations depending on business needs.
