Computational Structural Engineer

StructureCraft is a family-owned business, specializing in the structural engineering, design, fabrication, and erection of timber structures incorporating steel, glass, concrete, and other materials. We work with clients and architects to create carefully detailed buildings and bridge structures that break new ground in sophistication, craftsmanship, and quality.

We thrive on new and challenging design concepts, materials, and construction methods. Our computational design and engineering team leads the development of our freeform projects from conceptual design to prefabrication and installation.

In this role, you’ll have a unique opportunity to work with the highly talented Branch software engineering team, who are in-house at StructureCraft. You will have access to the specialists behind tools such as K2 Engineering and build on the shared Branch codebase.

Responsibilities

• Develop, guide, and oversee 3D structural models from the conceptual phase through to fabrication, assemblies, and installation.
• Design for fabrication and structural efficiency.
• Create and maintain computational design tools, scripts, algorithms, and parametric workflows to automate and enable the production of complex 3D geometry and models.
• Creation of fabrication drawings and CNC files for complex elements.
• Integrate structural analysis within computational workflows to enable real-time feedback on structural elements and systems during the design process.
• Collaborate with the computational design team, fabrication crews, and our CNC operators to verify models have translated accurately into human- and machine-readable information.
• Oversee and review the production of detailed drawings for engineering review, project approvals, production, and construction.
• Standardization of connections, fasteners, and fabrication techniques to improve production efficiency.
• Continual improvement of the engineering process to improve efficiency and reduce design cycle times.
• Manage and prioritize tasks to meet scheduled deadlines.
• Maintain and grow technical knowledge in computational design, structural optimization, and digital fabrication.

Requirements

The starting salary for this position is CAD $85,000 to $130,000. We offer a benefits package that includes 3 weeks vacation, extended medical, life insurance, disability insurance, employee and family assistance program, and a matching RRSP program after 2 years of employment.
