As Lead Structural Engineer, you'll serve as the technical authority for the structural design of Giga's modular data center product line and associated site infrastructure.
You'll own the Structural Plan of Record (POR), ensuring all designs meet Risk Category IV requirements for essential facilities while optimizing for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).
You'll bridge the gap between innovative modular product design and traditional site infrastructure, creating standardized solutions that can scale across hundreds of deployments.
You'll work at the intersection of structural engineering, manufacturing optimization, and mission-critical infrastructure—designing systems that must perform flawlessly from factory floor to seismic zone.
