Data Center Structural Engineer

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense. With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, Black Rock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio.

We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud. Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.

Armada is hiring a Data Center Structural Engineer to support the Galleon and Leviathan product lines — a brand-new capability for the company. As we scale Modular Data Center (MDC) deployments across a wide range of seismic, wind, snow, and soil conditions worldwide, we need someone who can own the structural thread that runs from early site due diligence through design, certification, fabrication, and installation, and make sure it holds together across every jurisdiction we operate in.

You will identify and vet domestic/international structural engineering vendors and certifying engineers, assess seismic, wind, snow, and soil risk on new sites before it becomes a costly redesign, and build the standardized, repeatable structural designs — raised structural platforms, ISO container connections, foundations/pads, anchorage, piping supports — that turn MDC structural design into a repeatable SKU instead of a one-off per site.

You'll also be the structural point of contact linking Armada's product engineering team with outside fabricators, general contractors, and local structural/civil engineers, reviewing shop drawings and equipment integration details to make sure what gets built and installed matches what was certified.

This role is remote-based (approximately 20–30% travel to project sites, fabricator, and vendor/GC locations).

• Global vendor liaison & certification — Identify, vet, and liaise with domestic/international structural engineering vendors and local certifying engineers on every active project site, confirming each can deliver structural analysis, design, and certification compliant with the local building code (e.g., NCC in Australia, IBC in the U.S., and equivalents elsewhere) before work begins.
• Site due diligence & jurisdictional risk assessment — Own early-stage structural due diligence for new domestic/international sites: evaluating seismic, wind, snow, and soil conditions, mapping local code and AHJ requirements, and flagging vendor capability gaps or certification risk before they cause late-stage redesign or slip a deployment.
• Standardized, repeatable structural design — Develop and maintain template structural designs for Modular Data Center (MDC) components (raised structural platform, ISO containers and connections, foundations/pads, anchorage, piping supports) that hold up across the widest range of site conditions, turning structural design into a repeatable SKU instead of a one-off per site.
• In-house analysis & design for new products and sites — Personally perform structural analysis and design for new Armada products and…
